Large amounts of wood materials are discarded every year in the construction- and furniture industries. UpHav believes there is immense value to be found in waste materials and want to change the narrative of virgin materials being the only true source of quality.
They acquire waste materials and offcuts from a range of Copenhagen-based companies. The wood is thoroughly rinsed, planed and sized into stock materials. They create new, functional designs using digital fabrication and CNC-machining.
UpHav is dedicated to upcycling and transforming discarded wooden materials into unique and sustainable furniture and interior pieces, visually reflecting the rich history of the materials. They seek to breathe life into the substantial quantity of wasted wood and hope to change the distinction between waste and resource.
