VOC-free materials. Handcrafted furniture.
Rest for the planet.
Nature, with its inherent wisdom, offers the most efficient and responsible approach to inhabiting space. Niu, which translates to nest in Catalan, represents a meticulously designed product line dedicated to providing both comfort for individuals and rest for the planet.
The wood employed is free from VOCs, while the fabric is crafted from 100% recycled PET. Repurposed wool from local sheep is used for the filling, as a sustainable alternative to high-impact materials such as Polyurethane. The design is modular and repairable, adhering to an environmentally conscious philosophy with flat packing and artisanal craftsmanship.
Circular Economy Criteria
VOCs-free
We use beech wood that is free of VOCs, treated with environmentally respectful paints and varnishes. This choice ensures both the sustainability and safety of our furniture.
Women's carpentry
The assembly of our furniture is expertly done by a women carpenters' association in the "La Verneda i La Pau" neighborhood of Barcelona. This artisanal approach underscores our commitment to quality craftsmanship and community empowerment.
Artisanal upholstery
Each cushion is hand-upholstered in the Poblenou area of Barcelona, using fabric made from rPET and filled with sheep wool cushions, both recyclable materials. This artisanal process ensures high-quality finishing and aligns with our environmental values.
Flat-pack shipping
Our products are shipped disassembled, reducing shipping volume and aligning with efficient, responsible packaging practices.
Inclusive assembly
All components are assembled and packaged by a diverse workforce, including individuals from various social backgrounds, as part of a job reintegration program, fostering inclusivity and community support.
Local design
We collaborate with local designers and design studios who share our commitment to sustainability and innovation, fostering partnerships that align with our core values.
No printouts
In our effort to minimize paper use, we provide digital instructions and catalogs, making detailed product information easily accessible online
