Built to be repaired: a joiner’s manifesto
Nordvik Joinery on why every joint they make can be taken apart again.
The most sustainable chair is the one you never throw away. At Nordvik, that starts at the drawing board: every joint is designed so that it can be opened, cleaned and fitted again.
That means wedged tenons instead of screws, hide glue that softens with heat, and finishes that can be refreshed at home. It takes longer to build. It takes far less to keep.
Bring your own wobbly chair to the repair café on Sunday morning and the team will show you how.
