Sustainability is the guiding philosophy behind the use of timbers in the collection. Since 1999, Etel has been involved in sustainable projects with certified wood from responsibly managed forests as well as the empowerment and development of professional skills of forest populations.

In 2001, ETEL was one of the first fur niture companies in Brazil to be awar ded the FSC® - Forest Stewardship Council certification®. Working with a team of artisans, even the smallest slats of reused wood are brought to life in iconic creations. The natural beauty of the woods are like Brazilian jewels to cherish in one’s home.
