We want you to enjoy our furniture for a very long time in your facility. This is why we select our raw materials very carefully and only use the highest quality beech and birch veneers.Veneer is a natural product. The sur-face has a pleasant, warm feel, giving your room a welcome atmosphere. Every piece of furniture made with veneer has a distinctive character. Just like every tree, every veneer is a unique piece of nature.

What is veneer?Veneer is a layer of wood cut or peeled off a tree trunk. In the process, the trunks are boiled for 48 hours to make the wood, and the bark is removed. A log is then spun around its own axis against a cutter bar that sheers a thin continuous sheet of veneer off the log layer by layer. The roll of veneer is then separated into thin individual sheets. Veneer can be manufactured from more than 200 types of wood. Veneer allows for the most economical use of wood, a valuable resource. Enough veneer for

the furniture for 16 bedrooms can be created from one cubic meter of wood! The shavings and other waste products from the manufacturing pro-cess are made into particle board or used in the production of energy. Veneer made from wood grown by sustainable forestry is a raw material that is renewable and saves resources.Did you know: Plywood is also made of veneer. A wooden board made from a number of layers of veneer glued together is called plywood.

Plastic veneers / wood veneersA lot of furniture is labeled “beech finish”. This type of finish is not real wood, but a wood imitation that often cannot be distinguished from real wood. Using photochemical or other technical processes, a simulated wood grain is transferred to a plastic surface.You can only be sure you are getting real wood if you see the veneer label!

HABA takes its environmental responsibilities seriously. That’s why environmental protection has been a major part of our company policy for years. We were the first toy and furniture manufacturer in Germany to undergo an environmental audit and have been committed to continuous environmental

Play, eat, sleep - Children under three years have their own particular needs. These needs influence how the rooms are designed, how the day is planned and the choice of toys and equipment. More than anything else, children at a crèche need enough space for crawling, running and letting off steam. Exciting play landscapes, made from low cupboards and landings at various heights, where little ones can develop their motor skills, are ideal. Children also need chairs and tables in their crèche that are suitable for their height. Special crèche chairs / tables or chairs with easily adjustable footrests are also available. As children under three need more sleep, there should be a quiet room next to the group room.

Children are curious and use all of their senses to discover their environment. Give your children sensible equipment - with growing challenges for growing needs. HABA wall elements and learning walls offer simple tasks for little ones, such as a sliding game with cars and a petrol station or different colored prisms to look through. Older children need more “brain food” and find a glitter tube or different fastenings interesting. The learning walls encourage perception and fine motor skills, because they provide different motor, optical, acoustic and tactile stimuli. And because children love repetition, the options available will still be interesting after a long time and continue to encourage discovery and exploration.

Here’s another benefit of HABA wall ele-ments and learning walls - they don’t take up much space and they can be used flexibly - in group rooms, next to the cloakroom or in entrance and waiting areas. Nothing can get lost thanks to the secure assembly of all the individual parts, so there’s nothing to get in the way of hours of fun games.

The learning walls and wall panels offer a wide variety of attractions - Different brushes for feeling, sliding games, magnet spirals and discs, mirrors and flappers for optical and acoustic stimulation - just right for little explorers.

Wall appliqué such as the fruit tree or the wind-mill (see left) create highlights in the group room.

Children who enjoy exploring different shapes will love the wall peg board and the different fabric parts (see below).
