Urban Manufacturing
We have taken manufacturing back to urban environment. Our facilities almost in the center of the city offer lake views for everyone who works at Nordic Hysteria. Manufacturing in an urban environment also demands zero landfill waste on top of minimized waste all together.
We use lighter machinery specifically created for our needs. That means less noise, less occupied space and less pollution. We keep developing our technologies and ways of working to better correspond with our needs as makers. One could say, that we aim to reverse ergonomics - to make our machines adapt to us.
Production
The veneer products concept of Nordic Hysteria is a new method of manufacturing and design. It aims at tiniest possible ecological footprint and a fresh, three-dimensional form language. We have minimized the use of material by using high-yielding birch veneer from sustainable Finnish sources in a manufacturing process that produces no landfill waste, and uses only a fraction of the energy required by traditional form pressing.
At the end of their lifecycle, all products can be recycled back to energy and re-use, thanks to easy disassembly and choice of materials. There are no hazardous components or chemicals in our materials or finishing. Our products, where design closes the loop, reaching manufacture, use, and recycling, can be called truly functional, and thus corresponding with our values.
