Why is the Stokke Sleepi made from beech wood?
Beech wood possesses durable, firm, and elastic properties, which makes it the ideal natural material for Stokke to use in the making of Stokke Sleepi, Tripp Trapp, Stokke Care, and Stokke Keep.
The benefits of beech wood are numerous. Not only is beech tough and dimensionally stable, but it also possesses exceptional characteristics in relation to construction gluing, and laquer retention. These assets make beech wood the ideal choice for furniture, and most specially children’s furniture where stability, and strength are so important.
Grown and harvested in the beech wood belt of eastern Europe, each tree is cultivated, handled, and refined in a modern environmentally friendly controlled way to meet our ecological ideals. Because at Stokke we not only care about the needs of your child today, but about the needs of your child for the future.
