SIKA-DESIGN A PROUD TRADITION OF CRAFTMANSHIP The history of our company began in 1942 in Denmark, when Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of handmade baskets, lamps and accessories made from wicker. With our passion for rattan and great craftmanship, we manufacture timeless furniture in both our own designs and in designs by some of the world’s greatest designers and architects. We are proud to call us the oldest manufacturer of rattan and wicker furniture in Scandinavia. With 3 rd generation Louise Andreasen in charge, it is our mission to make long lasting furniture both when it comes to design and durability. Creating long lasting furniture We strive to manufacture long lasting furniture, created with the least possible impact on the environment. This places great demands to the longevity of our designs, the way we produce, and the materials we use. Rattan meets these high requirements. The material is solid which makes rattan furniture very durable and able to be passed down for generations. Rattan production has a minimal impact on the environment, as the material is fast growing, harvested and processed by hand, and when steamed shortly it can also be bend by hand. In the production there is no waste as all residues are used for the steam ovens. Social & environmental responsibilities Taking environmental and social responsibilities are ongoing processes that we have been working with systematically since 2013. Together with our sister company, we were the first furniture companies in Denmark to be certified with an ISO14001:2015 and SA8000 (now replaced by SMETA by DNV-GL). Through our certifications, we have committed ourselves to a responsible social - and environmental policy as well as an ongoing focus on developing and improving these conditions. 2
