Köping, June 12, 2012 Press information Hästens and Woodnotes fusion Hästens Beds have teamed up with Finnish design company Woodnotes to design a headboard that combines Woodnotes characteristic material and design with the iconic color and size of Hästens beds. Woodnotes is an internationally acclaimed design company that manufactures furniture and interior products using only environmentally friendly and 100% natural materials. Their philosophy is very similar to Hästens and their products are of the highest quality, made to last for years. As their headboards are a major part of their furniture portfolio, Woodnotes was an obvious choice for Hästens to team up with to amplify its range of headboards. Designed by Woodnotes Design Team, the headboard is made out of Woodnotes unique paper and cotton yarn mix that is 100% natural, dustless and easy to look after. Hästens partners can order the headboards in Hästens characteristic blue and sand colors in sizes to fit Hästens beds. If desired, the colors can be applied to other Woodnotes products, like bed benches, as the headboards will be ordered directly from Woodnotes and not form part of Hästens stock in Köping. The colors and sizes are limited to Hästens partners only and will be available for order from September first and onwards.
