By reverse-engineering the extraordinary strength of old-growth wood, we invented a proprietary formulation and scalable product platform that turns waste and rapidly renewable materials into high performance products.
Necessity is the mother of invention.
It all started in 2010 in the workshop of Blackbird Guitars. A serial entrepreneur and committed environmentalist, Joe Luttwak set a team challenge: let’s make a guitar with the performance of carbon fiber and the sound of old wood – without cutting a single tree or using any toxic inputs. He knew that there had to be a better way.
By reverse-engineering the extraordinary strength of old-growth wood, we invented a proprietary formulation and scalable product platform that turns waste and rapidly renewable materials into high performance products.
And years later, we brought ekoa® to market. After receiving thousands of inquiries from designers who wanted to use our healthy, natural fiber composites, we brought ekoa® eco-veneers and panels to market, enabling architects, designers, CMF professionals, and product designers to easily integrate renewable materials and products into their own designs.
ekoa® can replace wood, vinyls, metals, and plastics in interior applications – from walls to ceilings, cabinetry and millworks, to dashboards in vehicles, and so on – with a low-carbon, clean air product that delivers a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel.
Quality At Every Step
Now you can enjoy the benefits of having a high performance, fully sustainable product to beautify and make healthy your product lines and spaces – from walls, to ceilings, to cabinetry, and more.
