🌱 Sustainable Materials & Certifications

We believe luxury and sustainability go hand in hand. Our products are made to last a lifetime, using responsibly sourced materials with verified certifications:

Wood Sourcing

All wooden products (Peugeot mills, Nogent handles, La Fourmi boards) use FSC-certified or PEFC-certified wood from sustainably managed European forests. No tropical hardwoods, no deforestation.

Textile Standards

Our Filt bags and Winkler tea towels are certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, guaranteeing they are free from harmful substances, phthalates, and solvents. Inks are water-based and eco-friendly.

100% Recyclable Glass

Every Duralex glass product is made from 100% recyclable tempered glass, designed to be infinitely recyclable without loss of quality.

📦 Plastic-Free Packaging Commitment

We've eliminated plastic packaging across our core product lines. Products from Duralex, Nogent, Laguiole, and Winkler arrive in plastic-free, recyclable packaging made from cardboard, paper, and natural materials.

We reject the throwaway culture. Our products are designed, engineered, and guaranteed to last:
