A lover of all things outdoors and active, Jemina Smith earned multiple degrees in Exercise Science after moving from Sweden to the US to pursue a college athletics career playing tennis. Growing up she wanted to become a wildlife photographer traveling the world, and so from an early age she was exploring photography as a possible future occupation. After her career in Sports ended, she made her other lifelong dream come true by becoming a travel photographer.
Upholding sustainability is at the core of our brand's mission, which is why Scandi Collective has selected European Beech for our natural frames and Poplar for our black frames.
Natural Frames: The standing timber in Europe's forests are some of the most sustainable and tightly managed forests in the world, and the fast-growing, hardy nature of Beech allows it to flourish in diverse environments. Thanks to sustainable harvesting practices, these forests are thriving and expanding.
Furthermore, the wood's consistent grain pattern and warm, light tones have made it an exceptional choice for Scandinavian-themed furniture and millwork for decades. Our frames are left "raw", devoid of any oil or acrylic coatings, precisely milled and lightly sanded to preserve the natural integrity of this beautiful material.
Black Frames: Harvested in the Appalachian region, Poplar stands out as a premier US hardwood due to it's fast growth cycle which is why it is an excellent source to harvest/replant with minimal environmental impact. We specifically opted for Poplar for our black frames due to its outstanding painting properties. Our paints are 100% water-based, and have a lovely low-sheen luster.
