Richeson “Lyptus” Easels
Richeson “Lyptus” easels are a “green” range of easels produced by Jack Richeson & Co.
Lyptus easels are manufactured from the timber of a naturally occurring hybrid Eucalyptus indigenous to Australia. A premium grade hardwood, Lyptus is grown on highly productive, environmentally friendly plantations in Brazil. The plantations are a combination of eucalypts and native tropical forest which has been planted on land rendered useless by years of intensive logging and farming. The Lyptus plantations in Brazil are an important part in the restoration of the damaged native rainforests. For every two hectares of Lyptus plantation planted, one hectare of new native rainforest is planted. Lyptus is also a renewable resource as new trees sprout from the stumps of previously harvested trees. The mills used to produce Lyptus wood use technology in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The entire process from planting, to pruning to manufacturing is carried out with the environment in mind.
