Sustainable Design Furniture Built to Last
At JALG.me, our approach is guided by longevity, material integrity, and respect for how things are made. In a world shaped by mass production and short product life cycles, we design furniture meant to endure—both structurally and aesthetically.
We believe the most responsible product is the one that never needs to be replaced.
A Foundation Built on Making and Material Respect
The story of JALG began in 2016, in a modest workshop where the scent of wood mingled with big ideas. In those early days, each piece was shaped by hand alongside an almost 80-year-old artisan. TV stands were created from reclaimed wood sourced from historic manors and old parklands, giving new life to materials rich with history.
These first designs established the values that still guide JALG.me today: timeless form, thoughtful production, and deep respect for skilled making.
As JALG.me has grown, so have our production volumes. While reclaimed wood defined our beginnings, it is no longer the most practical or consistent solution at scale. Today, we believe the most responsible choice is to work with FSC®-certified wood, sourced from forests managed with care for biodiversity, regeneration, and long-term balance.
This transition reflects the same principles we started with—respect for materials, responsible sourcing, and building products meant to last.
Designed for the Full Life of a Product — With a Lifetime Structural Warranty
Longevity is central to everything we create at JALG.me. Each piece is engineered for strength, stability, and everyday use over decades. Furniture made to endure reduces waste, limits unnecessary production, and lowers environmental impact over time.
Responsible design means thinking beyond the moment of purchase. By combining durable materials, precise construction, and lasting aesthetics, our products remain in use longer—challenging the culture of disposability that defines much of modern furniture production.
We stand behind this approach with a lifetime structural warranty, reflecting both our confidence in how each piece is built and our responsibility to support it over time.
By creating fewer pieces of higher quality, we follow a principle of restraint. We believe that buying less, but better, is the most meaningful and responsible choice.
Timeless Scandinavian Design
Our design language is rooted in Scandinavian principles—clarity, balance, and function. Guided by the idea of design classics, we create pieces that are not shaped by trends, but by proportion, purpose, and longevity.
Like true classics, our furniture is designed to age with grace. Its relevance is not defined by season or fashion, but by continued use over time. When form endures, products remain in everyday life longer—preserving resources and reducing the need for replacement.
At JALG.me, longevity is an aesthetic choice as much as a responsible one. Design that lasts becomes part of daily routines, passed between spaces and generations, proving that restraint and timelessness are the foundations of sustainable design.
JALG TV Stands and sustainable packaging
JALG, in Estonian, means "foot” and JÄLG, in Estonian, means "footprint". If you look at our product, its physical footprint is really tiny. Literally!:) But more seriously, we figured, if we are going to make a footprint at all, it better be a sustainable one. We believe that every detail matters and our commitment to the environment extends to how we package and present our products.
About three years ago we contacted Stora Enso as we were looking for sustainable solutions for our product packaging. Stora Enso is a global leader in renewable materials, specialising in packaging, biomaterials, wood and paper. They invited us to their pilot project called PAPIRA. Papira® is a bio-based and recyclable alternative—a lightweight cellulose foam material for protective and cushioning material in packaging.
Papira Stora Enso has given hope to a new era in eco-friendly packaging. Therefore we have incorporated Papira into our packaging materials, ensuring that the TV stand you purchase from us is not only stylish but also comes with a packaging solution that's environmentally conscious.
Key Features of Papira Packaging:
- Sustainable Sourcing: Papira packaging is derived from responsibly sourced materials, minimising the ecological footprint of the product.
- Recyclable: The commitment to a circular economy is reflected in Papira's recyclability.
- Reduced Carbon Footprint: Papira packaging aligns with our dedication to lowering environmental impact throughout the entire product lifecycle.
- Stylish & Protective: Papira doesn't compromise on aesthetics or functionality, providing a sleek and protective packaging solution.
What's Next:
Our collaboration with Stora Enso is part of an ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability. As we continue to explore new ways of reducing our environmental footprint, you can trust that JALG TV STANDS will remain at the forefront of eco-friendly furniture solutions.
Our use of Papira in packaging is a small but impactful step towards a more sustainable future.
