nvironmental credentials and
sustainability are a key element
in all designs for Blue Forest, and
so Kebony is a perfect material to
work with. The patented Kebony
technology which pickles wood
with a bio-based liquid derived from
agricultural crop waste ensures that
it has the qualities of tropical hardwood whilst being far less
environmentally damaging. The process utilises fast growing
softwood trees for the raw materials, to ensure Kebony
can be responsibly sourced from a sustainable forest. As
the treehouse will be exposed to the elements it needs to
endure high levels of weathering, so the durability of the
treated Kebony wood was essential.
