Sustainability

All wood used by Carl Hansen & Søn is hardwood purchased from responsible sawmills with whom they have long, established relationships. They only use new wood – never recycled wood.

Basically they use oak, beech and ash mainly from danish forests which are managed according to the Danish Forest Act (latest edition 2004). This law promotes sustainable forestry incorporating ecological, social and economic considerations. They also use walnut and American Cherry for selected models sourced from American forests.

Many of the chairs designed by Hans J. Wegner are made with paper cord. Paper cord is made of paper from sustainable Swedish forest. All paper cord is biodegradable and can be incinerated after use.

For our soap treated wooden furniture we use 100% natural soap based on pure vegetal oils. Our oil treated wooden furniture is treated with oils based on plants oils. These materials do not emit gases of any kind after they are applied.
