In German, Öko means ecology. In Vietnam, Öko represents more than just flooring; it embodies a unique and distinct "ecosystem" cultivated from the fruits of love and passion.
Öko floor - Touch nature
While many flooring products are beautiful, durable, and competitively priced, they often lack the unique qualities that set Öko apart. Unlike the common trend of indiscriminate exploitation of natural forest wood in Southeast Asia over a decade ago, Öko took inspiration from the European approach, particularly in Germany, Denmark, and Sweden.
These countries utilized wood sustainably, preserving forests, using wood thoughtfully, and implementing technology to recycle excess wood. The result is a durable, highly aesthetic product that meet the strict demands of the market. Architect Huy Pham played a crucial role in Öko's formation. He developed a model for crafting wooden products by combining techniques and modern wood-use thinking from Northern European countries with the skills of Vietnamese craftsmen. The focus is on expressing the purity of nature through the wood grain of each product.
Öko wooden floors - a delicate combination of tradition and modernity
After more than a decade of direct involvement with wood, gaining a deeper understanding and love for the material, the concept of style and space emerged. Öko aims to bring the essence of wood, nature, and the forest into urban homes, creating an "ecosystem" that feels close yet gradually appears.
The foundation of Öko lies in respecting nature, serving as the founder's guiding principle throughout the manufacturing and processing of wood products. Öko's essence goes beyond product development; it embodies the founder's core value. Öko wooden flooring, a delicate blend of tradition and modernity, carries the message that wood, like humans, has mentality and humanity. The founder emphasizes treating wood with respect to receive its true value. Love in Öko is expressed through Teak, Walnut, Oak—all planted forest wood selected as raw materials for production. Öko has innovatively moved away from the outdated and luxurious use of solid wood and large slabs. The manufacturing process involves 3-5 layers of wood with interwoven horizontal and vertical grain lines, pressed, held, and braced using modern production lines from Germany. This minimizes the use of wood slabs, ensuring stability in various weather conditions.
Öko 3-layer wooden flooring is a solution that ensures structural elements but still retains the original beauty and durability of natural wood.
