mitab, a swedish company boasts of a friendly environmental relationship with the planet as well as beautifully designed, clean lined furniture. furniture you can breathe on or in. in 1979 mitab began manufacturing furniture for the home market then branched out to the contract market. situated on lake sommen, "a region with long traditions in furniture making", mitab is lead today by the 2nd generation torstensson family, lucky for us. their environmental ingredients page on their website is fabulous, stating that mitab uses only beech and birch from near by finland and germany using no tropical woods. steel tubes and other metal parts are produced from strip steel and are fully recyclable. i love reporting about companies using nothing but either recycled parts, parts that can easily be recycled or break down and that are building awareness and consciousness for what we take and what we leave in our tracks, even our furniture tracks! just great. enjoy your swedish eye candy for this sunny monday!
