Milan Design Week 2025

The First Furniture Made from Flax Lumber

From April 7–13, 2025, during Milan Design Week at the Isola Design Festival, we presented the ReHemptation furniture collection. It was a unique opportunity to showcase an innovative approach to design and sustainable production — and to introduce the world’s first furniture made from flax lumber.

Strumber – The Material of the Future

ReHemptation was created as a manifesto exploring the potential of annual plants — both in terms of aesthetics and environmental impact. Plants such as industrial hemp and flax absorb four to five times more CO₂ than forests. The result is Strumber — a high-strength, visually appealing material that can successfully replace wood in the production of furniture, flooring, doors, and many other interior elements. Strumber Flax and Strumber Hemp were used in the ReHemptation by Husarska furniture collection, which meets key sustainability criteria.

The ReHemptation Collection Presented in Milan

At the Isola Design Festival, we showcased three exceptional pieces of furniture:

• LinStool – a unique stool made from Strumber Flax, harmoniously combining ecological thinking with contemporary design. It is the world’s first piece of furniture made from flax lumber!
• HempSolo – a table made from Strumber Hemp, capable of absorbing an impressive amount of carbon dioxide — 1,689 kg of CO₂ per cubic meter. For this particular piece, that’s 101 kg of CO₂.
• HempStool – a minimalist seat made from Strumber Hemp, designed to merge functionality and aesthetics without unnecessary elements.

All furniture pieces were designed by Husarska Design Studio and crafted by BHM Unique Interiors. The ReHemptation exhibition sets a new benchmark for sustainable design and opens the door to a revolution in the furniture industry.

Flax Furniture as the Direction of the Future

Milan Design Week is a time of intense meetings with designers, architects, and journalists from around the world. Our furniture made from Strumber Flax flax lumber sparked admiration and disbelief among visitors. It was an exceptional moment to demonstrate that Strumber can become a true alternative to wood — inspiring new directions in sustainable design.
