O u r w o o d i s a l i ve
Wood is a living material. In spite of the superior
quality provided by the species we use, it constantly
adapts to changes in temperature and humidity. In the
same way your teeth won’t stay white without brushing,
wood won’t remain perfectly smooth without any
maintenance. Exposure to sun and rain will gradually
change its colour to silvery grey, and roughen the
surface.
When delivered, the wooden parts of our products
are untreated. Exposure to sun and rain will gradually
change their colour to silvery grey, and also roughen
the surface. We strongly recommend that you treat
your wood regularly with wood oil to protect it from
stains and to slow down the roughening process.
Along with these downsides, our wood comes with
great characteristics: the production of wooden parts
consumes 60 times less energy than steel parts, it’s
extremely durable - by sanding and oiling regularly, our
tables easily reach the age of 20, you can barely see
when there’s surface dust or dirt, and the wood looks
warm and feels comfortable.
More often than not, enjoying your
furniture for a long time, starts
with choosing the right materials.
