Responsible Manufacturing
PLANK’s passion for timeless design means that we prioritise quality and longevity over novelty or passing trends. We only develop products that we feel make a positive contribution.
Our woodworking heritage provides us with a unique appreciation four our planet and the natural beauty surrounding us. We value short supply chains and partnerships built on quality and consistency.
That’s why we produce exclusively in Northern Italy, enabling us to work very closely with long-term suppliers helping us sourcing a carefully selected palette of high-quality and recyclable materials.
Our furniture is manufactured using interchangeable components that can be reordered and replaced in the future if required.
Wherever possible, we avoid the use of glues so products can be easily dismantled, repaired and reintroduced into the recycling process.
