Arbor Vetum was founded on, and remains committed to, the philosophy and practise of helping to preserve natural forests, protecting the environment and producing only ecologically responsible wooden furniture.

In order to ensure that we meet these important objectives every single Arbor Vetum product is 100% made from carefully salvaged and reclaimed teak timbers without the need to cut down living teak trees.

Arbor Vetum is internationally recognised and accredited for making this philosophy a practical reality and we are independently certified to the highest environmental standards by both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and SmartWood, and as such are producers of genuinely ecologically responsible furniture.

Today we are proud of the fact that by buying any Arbor Vetum design we can guarantee you are not only buying responsibly but investing in furniture with a very clear conscience.


Arbor Vetum therefore helps to protect natural forests by reducing the pressures on them to supply new timber for furniture
