Thuma is known for its elevated construction and thoughtful aesthetics. The main component is the [Japanese joinery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veil-cabinets), which is a technique that is used for assembling furniture and other wooden items without having to rely on nails. The four sideboards carefully slip into place securely with minimal effort. This process does not need any tools and disassembling is just as simple for those who relocate often. Thuma creates The Bed with made with entirely upcycled rubberwood collected from trees that would've been burned otherwise. This sustainable method is also because the materials are collected from plantations by the brand's manufacturing partner.
