At Meyer von Wielligh, sustainability is a core value. We source our timber from sustainable forestry and minimize waste during the production process. Our furniture is designed to last, reducing the environmental impact of disposable products, and for every piece of furniture sold, we plant a tree. This initiative helps offset our environmental impact and contributes to global reforestation efforts. We believe in giving back to nature as much as we take, ensuring a balanced and sustainable relationship with our environment.
