Hartmann

Hartmann allows you to create fully custom-fit furniture for your home, giving full options for customized production of all ranges.

Ranges can be shortened in width, height and depth to suit your space.

The depth can also be expanded offering more storage space where needed.

Solid wood is a true natural product, each piece is unique in terms of its structure and colour making no other piece the same as yours.

Fine branches, cracks, intergrown areas and merging structures underline the materials' authenticity.

Characterised by the location of the tree as well as the weather and soil conditions, each piece of solid wood is genuine, unique product of nature.

The Anea collection is more than just a collection of furniture pieces; it's a foundation for creating a modern and functional living space that reflects your personal style. With its clean lines, focus on storage, and beautiful material combinations, Anea allows you to create a home that is both stylish and comfortable.

The Kilva range embodies modern living with a touch of drama. This distinctive collection features a captivating interplay of natural core oak and anthracite stained ash wood, creating a visually striking contrast that elevates any living space.

According to their intended use, the surfaces are made up of the following components:
 
BINDERS FOR GLOSS, HARDNESS ETC.
 
PIGMENTS FOR COLOURING
 
SOLVENT FOR PROCESSING
 
AUXILIARY MEDIA FOR LEVELLING AND HARDENING

In its book "Buying furniture", the German consumer testing institute "Stiftung Warentest" describes the properties of our furniture coating systems as follows:

NATURAL RESIN VARNISH - Dries slowly. Pliant, elastic surface. Breathable.

WATER-BASED UV-VARNISHES - Very quick to dry. Thick, resistant varnish film.

WAX - Very natural effect of the wood, easy to repair, low resistance.

Natural core oak consists exclusively of the core boards of the oak trunk, as only this wood has the desired typical characteristics such as core cracks and wing branches.

Core oak is a traditional furniture construction wood that allows for an excellent finish.

The real tree bark is sawn off from the entire trunk so that a complete part of the tree is used in this furniture.

The strict thermal treatment (according to IPPC standards), means you can be sure that the wood is completely free of wood pests.

The tree grows almost everywhere in the temperate zones of the world.

The oak wood has a yellowish color, is ring-pored and strongly structured, It can therefore be easily distinguished from other woods.

The tree is ready for felling after about 80 years.

Exposure to light

Light oak darkens slightly over the years and becomes more yellow. Since this change occurs very slowly, you hardly notice anything. 

Wood-specific treatment

Two layers of very matt UV water-based varnish are applied to the heavily brushed wood. After each application process, the surface is sanded. A wax is applied as a final coating.

Tree planting campaign - as a wood working company, Hartmann are conscious of their responsibilty for the environment and future generations.

That is why they plant a new tree in the Thuringian community of Auengrund for every one we sue in production. This means around 7,000 trees per year. 

Not enough? More trees are planted with every purchase that is made from Hartmann in order to preserve the natural habitat.

Timeless Design

Sustainability does not start with production, but as early as in the design of a new collection: unique pieces can only be created by focusing on durability and a timeless design that you want to keep for a lifetime. Hartmann believe there is no better source of inspiration for our designers than nature.

Solar energy production

generating their own electricity with more than 5,000 photovoltic modules. Putting all of their energy into climate-neutral production and also use the sun's energy to do so. The roofs of our production buildings are equipped with 3,800 photovoltaic modules, which generate more than one million KWh of electricity per year. In this way, we avoid more than 700 tons of CO2 every year.

Thermal Waste-wood recycling

Avoiding larger quantities of wood waste by means of dimensionally accurate calculation and efficient wood cutting. Hartmann use the unavoidable wood waste from production as a fuel to heat our production shops. This saves 300,000 litres of heating oil per year and thus avoids around 950 tonnes of CO2.

Water Treatment

Planning to build a recycling system to ensure sustainable groundwater use. By Maintaining a constant humidity of 45%, we avoid deformation or swelling of the wood during storage and machining. We are building a recycling system for sustainable ground water extractiom: rain water is collected over a large area and returned to the ground via a sprinkler system.

Water-based Varnish

Using a specially developed water-based varnish to protect the surfaces of our solid wood furniture as well as nature. Hartmann not only protect nature, but also the surfaces of their furniture against external influences and damage. Depending on the type of wood, the wood we use is treated with a multi-layer water-based varnish specially developed by us, then sanded several times and dried with UV light. 

Sustainable forests

Hartmann obtain their wood from sustainably managed forests, in which only as much is cleared as can grow back.

Here at Housing Units, we have everything you need to help create your perfcet living or dining space. With a selection of Hartmann pieces on display, colour swatches to choose from and or expert team on hand to give you advice and information, youa re sure to find exactly what you are looking for and more!
