Studio Seitz furniture is made of solid wood, such as European ash from FSC certified forests. Likewise, the company relies as much as possible on aluminum (the most recyclable metal), natural cork, recycled brass, glass and stone. These high-quality, durable materials have been selected by Studio Seitz with the hope that the furniture will be proudly passed down from generation to generation, rather than prematurely diverted to landfill.
In addition to consciously sourcing materials, Studio Seitz furniture is crafted using enduring traditional craftsmanship that has been passed down from generation to generation. For example, Swiss artisan Adalbert Fässler adorns these pieces with the traditional metal stamping process, a timeless practice passed down through six generations of his family. Likewise, the woodworking and joinery specialist Urs Mätzler continues the tradition that the company started in 1888. As a fourth-generation artisan at 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.
