Wharfside bring Europe’s Finest ‘Green’ Furniture
Factory to the Grand Designs Live show 2012
To celebrate their 50th Anniversary, Wharfside are bringing dining, living-room and bedroom furniture from the
award-winning Team 7 of Austria to the UK and to Stand # L 131 from 5th – 13th May.
In their most recent Sustainability Report, Team 7 write :
We at TEAM 7 are particularly proud of the environmental statement presented below and brought to life
in the pictures and products on these pages. It is far more than simply a statement of past action: it is an
acknowledgement of the values that characterize and guide TEAM 7. We have consistently pursued our “green
path” since the early 1980s. Ecological, social and economic responsibility on all levels are a matter of course for
TEAM 7. It is a matter of importance to us to produce our furniture in harmony with man and nature. From the
tree to the finished furniture item, the entire value-adding chain is controlled by TEAM 7 to ensure sustainable
manufacture and the economical use of resources.
As a pioneer and market leader for natural living, we exclusively use European wood from sustainable forest
management, wood that is exclusively finished with natural herbal oil and crafted by hand without being
transported over long distances. We do not produce short-lived furniture to be discarded. Our products are
manufactured with a high functional and aesthetic life expectancy. Only durable items which provide pleasure
throughout an entire lifetime are truly sustainable. The TEAM 7 brand promises quality. The design and
construction of our furniture are carefully thought through from the very beginning. High-grade material,
award-winning design, innovative technology and perfect craftsmanship give our furniture genuine value.
Numerous international awards have confirmed the outstanding quality of our designs. Technical innovations,
such as 2soft, the cushioned pull-out technology used in our tables have given us an exclusive position in the

market. They give our furniture unrivalled convenience - another
advantage ensuring that our furniture gives enduring pleasure.
Months before our furniture is launched on the market, its
quality is tested by our company‘s own test laboratory. We
have received the Austrian ecology mark for many years for this
ecological and sustainable production process. Despite these
visible achievements, however, we do not stand still and rest on
our laurels, but continuously strive to become even better. This
environmental statement documents our efforts to consistently
guide all activities by TEAM 7 in accordance with the principles
of sustainable management and to manufacture naturally
aesthetic products. We can only escape from our consumer
society by consistently striving to keep our production in
harmony with nature. Only a consciously sustainable style of life
can ensure that future generations have everything they need
to live: raw materials, food, fresh air and clean water.
We have received the
Austrian ecology mark
for many years for this
ecological and sustainable
production process
