5 Authenticity, simplicity and impeccable craftsmanship are what we believe in In essence, we believe in good design For more than twenty years, we have been creating authentic, contemporary and timeless furniture from solid wood. We believe in creating quality wooden furniture that lasts for generations and withstands trends. Our timeless designs are versatile and associate well with different styles, while our solid wood is strong and ages incredibly well with time. The ultimate noble and renewable material, our wood is sourced from responsibly and carefully managed forests. Outstanding craftsmanship is at the core of our brand, and behind the simplicity of our pieces lies a constant drive for innovation. Incorporating advanced techniques to our process of creation, each new design is revised and reworked to the last detail: every curve, texture and line reflects our design values. The Ethnicraft brand is sold worldwide and offers collections for every room of the house, where they age beautifully as years go by. BOK OAK DINING TABLE - CHAIR 5

69 Furniture is meant to be functional, yet we want ours to generate emotion too We believe in creating quality wooden furniture that lasts for generations and is unaffected by trends and hypes. Furniture is meant to be functional, yet we want ours to generate emotion too. To accomplish this, we utilize authentic materials and developed our very own design aesthetics. Our commitment to outstanding design, natural materials, and extraordinary craftsmanship is at the core of everything we do. Our designs are timeless, versatile and easily blend with individual styles. We are also deeply aware of the impact of our industry on the environment and we take environmental issues to heart: the origin of the wood, the energy we use in the production and distribution process, the treatment of the products and waste reduction - we try to be as environmentally friendly as possible. 69
