Sustainable Craftsmanship
At Længsel we are dedicated to reduce our environmental impatct. We have a continuous research about the best sustainable options for our products. We choose woods that can be recycled or replaceable in a fast-growing rate. We look for fabrics that are rapidly renewable, biodegradable, recyclable or can be produced organically.
Joinery Tecnhiques
We are proud to incorporate sustainable CNC drilling and joinery techniques in our furniture production process. By using CNC technology for precision cutting and drilling, we are able to reduce manual labor and minimize material waste. Additionally, we source our wood from sustainable forests and use eco-friendly finishes to minimize our environmental impact.
-
Not only do these sustainable practices benefit the environment, they also bring cost savings and improved product quality to our customers. The precision and accuracy of CNC technology ensures that each piece of furniture is made to exact specifications and with the highest level of craftsmanship.
By implementing sustainable CNC drilling and joinery techniques, we are able to offer our customers furniture that is not only beautiful and durable, but also environmentally responsible. At Længsel, we are committed to sustainability and are proud to be leading the way in the furniture industry.
Sustainable plywood
Birch plywood is a popular material for furniture due to its strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal. It is also considered to be a sustainable material for furniture production. Here are a few reasons why:
-
Birch is a fast-growing tree species that is abundant in many parts of the world. This means that it can be sustainably harvested and replanted without depleting natural resources.
-
The process of making plywood involves gluing together thin layers of veneer. This allows manufacturers to use smaller, less mature trees, which are typically not suitable for traditional lumber products. This results in more efficient use of resources.
-
Birch plywood is a strong and durable material that can last for many years. This means that it does not need to be replaced as frequently as other furniture materials, which can help to reduce waste.
-
Birch plywood is a recyclable material, which means that it can be repurposed or broken down into raw materials for other products at the end of its life.
-
Birch trees absorb and store carbon from the atmosphere as they grow. Birch plywood products also store carbon which is removed from the atmosphere by the growing trees, so it can be considered as a carbon sink.
-
Birch plywood is relatively lightweight, which makes it easy to move around and reduces the environmental impact of transportation.
In addition to these environmental benefits, birch plywood furniture also offers a range of design possibilities, as it can be shaped, stained, or painted to suit different styles and tastes. This makes it a versatile and sustainable choice for furniture production.
Overall, birch plywood is a sustainable choice for furniture production because it is a renewable resource, efficient in its use of resources, durable, recyclable, lightweight, and can store carbon.
ECO-FRIENDLY FABRICS & LEATHERS
At Længsel, we believe that beautiful and durable furniture can be made in an environmentally conscious way. That's why we use eco-friendly fabrics made from sustainable wool and vegan leathers made from pineapple fibers in all of our pieces. These materials not only look great, but they are also a responsible choice for the planet.
-
Wool is a natural and renewable resource, making it an ideal choice for our collection & identity. It is also biodegradable and requires less energy to produce than synthetic fabrics. Meanwhile, our vegan leathers are made from pineapple fibers, a innovative and sustainable material that is also biodegradable.
By choosing Længsel, you can have the best of both worlds: beautiful furniture that is kind to the environment. We are committed to making products that will last for years to come, all while minimizing our impact on the planet. You can feel good about your purchase knowing that it has a minimal impact on the environment.

sahco
bouclé
A curled bouclé fabric, Elle drapes and curves around furniture like an elegant designer coat. The spun bouclé yarn created by blending wool, viscose and acrylic gives the surface a soft tactility. During the subsequent dying the yarns take the colour differently, creating captivating shifts within the same tones. This effect and a slight sheen from the acrylic blend bring life to the voluminous textured bouclé surface.
