Project/Product Description | With its surface betula veneer, nevi have developed an entirely new material – yet basing their efforts on an ancient material that has shaped our culture in significant ways. For centuries, birch bark had been used in a myriad of places, wherever a robust water barrier was needed. The bark of the Nordic birch was used for such challenging tasks as roofing, boat building and shoe making. With industrialization, the material fell into oblivion because it was not suitable for serial production. nevi are the first company to succeed in creating a surface material which still has all the positive natural properties of the resource. |
Materials Used | The renewable material performs at its best when it meets water - and the human touch. Birch bark does not swell, so unlike wood it is ideal for direct contact with water and thus lends itself perfectly to ship interior design. The material can also keep up with ceramic tiles, as the high grip of birch bark prevents slipping on damp surfaces. Plus, it has an antimicrobial nature, a velvety, warm feel, and a pH like that of human skin. |
Sustainability | Just as every piece of nevi betula surfaces takes its start from the birch tree, the story of our company itself begins with discovering the Nordic birch tree in its habitat. Out of our enthusiasm for this special material, nevi evolved over time; we became familiar with the people who harvest birch bark, created networks, learned together. nevi are a truly grown company - the structures that have thus evolved across national borders make it almost natural that they are fair and healthy for everyone involved. Each step is meant to be taken with responsibility over a longer period: - from traditional harvesting |
