What is it about?

There are many reasons to use and love wood: It is a unique, multifunctional material, which relaxes our senses and pleases our eyes. It even has psychological effects on people and a similar stress-reducing effect to nature, as Scandinavian scientists found out lately. Thus the use of wood promotes the health and well-being of mind and body.

Furthermore wood is an extremely sustainable building material. Already during its growth in our forests, wood makes an active contribution to climate protection as each tree stores C02. Short transport distances and a regional processing chain also contribute to the preservation of the climate. The shorter the supply chain the less emissions are created in general.

Whi is it open to?
