Spin Valis create some of our most beloved wood designs, such as the Graceful table series. They operate a 7500 m² production facility in the town of Pozega, located in eastern Croatia, employing around 400 people. Focusing on local raw materials, they use their own sawmill to process wood – FSC® certified beech and oak – all sourced from local forests within an 80-100 km radius. They have also managed to become energy neutral, after installing smart solar panels on rooftops and they utilise production waste to create and sell briquettes, both locally and to neighbouring countries.
