mahogany

In the 18th century, mahogany became the most sought-after furniture wood in the world. But two centuries before that, it was used in shipbuilding. The reddish-brown mahogany with a slightly golden sheen has been considered a particularly elegant luxury wood in Europe since the 1960s at the latest. The mahogany tree is one of the jungle giants in its home countries. It can grow up to 60 meters high with a trunk diameter of up to 3.50 meters. The 1400 mahogany species grow wherever it is warm: in the tropics and subtropics of South America, Africa and Asia.
In our writing instruments, we only use leftover pieces of mahogany wood that would otherwise not have been used. No tree is felled for our pens, as our certified wood comes exclusively from plantations in the Rohrer Forest. With more than 25 years of experience in tropical forests, Rohrer Forest AG offers you wood from environmentally friendly and sustainable management in the Dominican Republic. There, sustainable management is combined with a deep love of nature.
