Linnea Bookshelf

Kudu

FUNCTIONAL DESIGN

The Linnea Bookshelf is a lightweight, elegant shelving system which takes inspiration from traditional joinery. With clever joints and compression fittings, the bookshelf is strong without the need for unsightly nuts and bolts.

Each shelf measures W-457mm, H-350mm, D-350mm, so there’s plenty storage room for files, books, and general studio clutter. The open shelving and slim profile of Linnea make it perfect for displaying treasured ornaments, awards, and pictures. Each horizontal shelf extends slightly beyond the vertical supports, providing a small perch onto which lights or even plants can be hung.

Linnea is large with ample storage room but is deceptively lightweight. Made from 12mm thick high-quality Birch Plywood, the Bookshelf can be assembled and moved with ease.

Our furniture is made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified Birch plywood. Sourced from sustainably managed Northern European forests. Birch species are relatively fast growing and support a myriad of varied wildlife, and where managed as a sustainable forest resource, do not impinge on the natural biodiversity.

Birch plywood has an elegance to it, thanks to its smooth, pale finish which leaves a beautiful sheen on any product made from it. Wood is not only a natural and aesthetically pleasing material for any work space, it is an easy product to maintain and repair.

Environmental Sustainability Impact Assessment:

Impact Area
Materials	Furniture is made from FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified Baltic Birch plywood. Sourced from sustainably managed Northern European forests. Birch species are relatively fast growing and support a myriad of varied wildlife, and where managed as a sustainable forest resource, do not impinge on the natural biodiversity. Wood itself is a renewable, natural resource and is recognised as the only genuine Carbon Neutral manufacturing material. When wood is used in place of other other materials (eg: steel, plastic) it provides a significant savings in CO2 emissions. When used, recycled and disposed of correctly wooded products sequester carbon and help to contribute to net-negative emissions strategies. FSC chain of custody certification is available on request.
Surface coatings Osmo Oil	Osmo Oil All of our furniture pieces are finished with a durable Osmo Oil finish. Osmo oil offers a natural and environmentally friendly alternative to wood finishing. The products are based on rapidly renewable, natural vegetable oils that penetrate deeply into the wood, keeping it elastic and healthy, whilst preventing it from drying and becoming brittle.The wood is allowed to breathe which means it is naturally protected, moisture can evaporate whilst the surface is water resistant. It’s durable, easy to apply, and easy to repair. Formica The Formica used for the white laminate furniture comprises of less than 6% of any item. The Formica used is GREENGUARD® certified. That is, it does not contain harmful chemicals and no more than 5% by volume Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
Manufacture	Kudu Group Ltd is a certified Carbon Neutral company. We are environmentally conscious in all that we do. From the materials we use, the products we manufacture, and indeed every company process. Not only are we carbon neutral we ensure the longevity of our products to minimise any environmental impact.
Designed for durability, reuse, refurbishment and repair	Furniture is constructed from 18mm and laminated 36mm birch ply. Birch plywood is commonly known for its strength and stability. Weight for weight it is stronger than steel in static bending strength. All furniture is designed to last a lifetime in a commercial setting. It is designed for disassembly to facilitate reuse, refurbishment, repair and ultimately recycling, either in part or as a whole. No specialised tools are required in its assembly or disassembly. Wood is not only a natural and aesthetically pleasing material for any work space, it is an easy product to maintain and repair. Kudu Studio has a take-back scheme for repairing and refurbishing products or recycling for products that have reached the end of their useful lives.
