Studio Seitz furniture is made from real wood, such as European Ash sourced from FSC-certified forests. Similarly, the company relies on aluminum (the most recyclable metal), natural cork, recycled brass, glass and stone, whenever possible. These quality, long-lasting materials are selected by Studio Seitz with the hopes the furniture will proudly be handed down for generations to come rather than being prematurely diverted to the landfill.
In addition to consciously-sourced materials, Studio Seitz furniture is made using enduring, traditional craftsmanship that has been taught for generations. For example, Swiss craftsman Adalbert Fässler embellishes the pieces with traditional metal stamping practices, a timeless practice handed down through six generations in his family. Similarly, carpentry and joinery specialist Urs Mätzler continues the traditional practices the company started in 1888. As a fourth-generation craftsman with the Mätzler joinery company, he represents the antithesis of mass production. Thomas Seitz leads the precision machining team for Studio Seitz products as a fifth-generation craftsman.
