ABOUT US

We are a family brand which recycles forests

They say if you want to understand a tree you must first understand its roots. It was actually the roots which gave a solid foundation to our Reforest brand. We often see them in nature: healthy with firm roots, but abandoned after deforestation or calamity. The wood of a trunk is usually used as a plank, but what about the roots? Nobody has any plans with them…they disintegrate.

It's a shame to let it be like that...

…we said to each other with my brother when we saw another abandoned tree root in the woods. It was a locust tree in its best years forgotten in a grove. We have vivid memories when it comes to locust trees. As children, we used to go cycling around the village to admire their tiny white flowers. Often, we got a tire defect on the thorns of their fallen branches, but it never discouraged us to come back in the spring just as curious. Like in our childhood, we returned back to the forgotten tree root in the grove, pulled it out, cleaned it and brought it to our workroom where my brother took good care of it. Gradually he made a beautiful coffee table and with this table, the story of our Reforest brand began. The phrase “Let’s find another root“ has since become a small family celebration.

How does the REFOREST table grow? SLOWLY, IT REQUIRES TIME AND PRECISION.

Reforest is not a serial production. We mill and sandblast millimeter by millimeter. Grinder – milling machine – mortise are constantly on the scene. It’s micro-work. We look for the most beautiful relief with feeling and respect. Each root has its own handwriting. It’s design and craft in one touch. After processing, we let the root dry for a few weeks, to rest, because wood needs its time – like everything good in life. Then we mill and sand again. The last procedure is a balm for the wood and the carpenter’s soul – natural oil in two to three layers. It beautifully highlights the color of the root and preserves it naturally.

The transformation of the root into a table is completed by glass or a wooden board made of beech, oak, agate or maple. Reforest is patience. We spend weeks with each table so you can spend decades with it. They have their own soul and an original Slavic name, which we select in our forest register. Radan, Živan, Hostirad, Krasomil, Poľan?
