Sustainable Materials
We want our cabinetry and furniture to be sustainable, beautiful and practical therefore we have carefully chosen the materials and finishes we work with, including our surface colours:
Pluck Colours
Pluck colours are high pressure laminate (hpl) but this is about more than just looks, hpl is durable, practical, versatile and the colour is longer-lasting than painted finishes.
The companies from which we source hpl take sustainability seriously and have comprehensive environmental policies in place. When we press hpl in-house onto plywood we use non-toxic, solvent free adhesive.
Our carefully curated palette includes warm, neutral and bold shades. If you want a colourful kitchen, we will work with you to ensure you pick a hue that’s right for you. Fashions come and go but your kitchen will last for years, choose a colour you know you will love living with.
(As a homage to our hood Pluck’s colours are named after local places in and around Brixton.)

Wood Veneers
We adore the texture, pattern and tone wood brings to our designs, but believe that use of this precious natural resource needs to be kept to a minimum, therefore we use veneers (pressed onto plywood). We carefully arrange the veneers individually to enhance the grain.
We have worked with a trusted veneer supplier for many years who is FSC® and PEFC™ registered for Chain of Custody. We press our veneers using a non-toxic, solvent free adhesive. The finishes we use on our woods are either water based or derived from natural plant oils and waxes. We have chosen these products because they give a hard-wearing finish and are non-toxic in your home.
We have chosen a selection of woods that work beautifully with our colour palette, each has its own distinctive character which we have tried to capture here.

Plywood
The core material of Pluck kitchen furniture is plywood. Hard-wearing and sustainable it functions as an honest, solid foundation from which to begin.
Our plywood supplier is FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) accredited, this includes a yearly audit by a third party who ensures things like their supply chains, labelling systems and paperwork are in order. The plywood is either FSC® or PEFC™ (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certified, meaning the forests are sustainably managed.
