BOSQ
Sustainability at Bulo
Since 1963
Craftsmanship, knowledge of materials and a sense of innovation: these are just some of the characteristics of our sister company Bosq, which constantly wants to set new standards. Bosq grew out of Leysen Wood Trading and Van Vaek Meubelen, together over 100 years of experience in the wood industry. With this knowledge and the passion for wood, Bosq has focused on the upgrading of wood as a raw material in its own studio in Mechelen. They work together with (interior) architects to develop their own projects in veneer wood. A sustainable solution: not only is veneer one of the most ecological ways to use wood, but Bosq also strongly focuses on local wood and its recovery and valorization. Weathered wood from the iconic mooring posts in Venice, the trees from
the garden of the Africa Museum in Tervuren, the wood from the lock gates in the Scheldt river... they are given a second life in the form of an exclusive tabletop, cabinet or bench. WoodSaver® by Bosq: 100% circular. WoodSaver® is a unique Bosq product in which wood surpluses are repurposed into entirely new products that retain 100% of their value and all the qualities of veneer: true circularity. Instead of disposing of the short pieces of residual wood generated during production as waste, they are joined together using an invisible finger joint to create a new, longer panel: 0% waste! With this new product, Bosq once again proves itself as a sustainable player in the veneer lumber market, which is fully standardized in terms of dimensions and which is now in conflict with the natural growth of a tree. Love Wood!
