"I want to create products that people care about. Something they don't see as a utility object but as something that has value and isn't just discarded after use. Products they want to preserve for a long-term relationship." - Anton Björsing

Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is selected carefully by hand to ensure the best and most durable quality in production. Oak is a natural material.

Optional treatment finishes make it more resistant, but be aware that the wood will change color when applying soap or oil.
