Materials and processes

Wood - process

Our ash wood is sourced from Russian forests and processed in Austria. It is either left untreated or varnished using a light-brown, transparent varnish to maintain the glow of the wood, in which case it should be retreated roughly every spring. Alternatively we use a range of water-based colours...

Concrete - material

Concrete is traditional cement mixed with sand, gravel and water. The mixture is highly resistant to pressure, but weaker in terms of torque and other forms of impact. This may be improved by mixing...

Polyethylene - process

PE undergoes a rotational moulding process, in which the solid-coloured raw material (PE powder) is measured and poured into a steel- or aluminium mould. The mould is heated to around 270 degrees and...

HPL - process

This is a fairly complex production process featuring presses (high pressure) working at high temperatures and a subsequent surface processing. The sheets can then be cut, bent, glued or laser-cut...

Fiberglass - process

The mould is sprayed with the dyed gel-coat, fibreglass mats are applied and several rounds of polyester are sprayed into the mould to achieve the desired thickness and strength (sandwich...

Polyethylene - material

Polyethylene (PE) is a thermoplastic, synthetic material based on mineral oil. We primarily use MDPE, which is of medium hardness, suitable for large items with a high level of rigidity and...

Fiberglass - material

Fibreglass products are produced from glass-reinforced polyester with a dyed gel-coat top layer (like sailing boats). This is a light material with great strength due to the sandwich construction. It...
