MATERIAL GUIDE & CARE
WOOD
Woods will expand and shrink with changes in
temperature and humidity. Take care not to place
your furniture next to radiators or anywhere subject
to excessive changes in temperature or moisture.
We recommend that all kitchenware and beverages
should be placed on mats and any spillages should
be wiped away immediately. Never place hot items,
such as dishes, directly onto the table without using a
heatresistant mat or trivet as direct heat will draw out
the moisture in the wood leaving a ring mark ingrained
into the wood. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth before
buffing with a dry cloth. In the event of more stubborn
marks, a solution of mild detergent should be used on
the cloth. Silicone based polishes should not be used
on the wood as they will build up andleave a sticky
residue on the surface.
Oak
When new, oak furniture will appear quite light with
a slightly yellow hue. All woods, however, can vary
significantly from one piece to another. Any sample
products should be taken as indicative of the wood
and finish. Over time, sunlight will cause the wood to
darken and mellow throughout its life.
Ash
Ash behaves in all respects identically to oak; the main
difference is that ash has a slightly narrower grain. As
with oak, ash will darken over time.
Beech
Beech has a tighter grain still which lends itself to
being painted. Natural beechwill appear very light in
colour and over time will darken slightly.
Lacquer
Our collections of wooden furniture are finished in a
durable water based lacquer. This provides an easy to
care for and durable finish that doesn’t compromise
the natural beauty of the wood grain.
RATTAN
The rattan webbing used for our products is
unbleached and therefore, some colour differences
can be visible. To clean a rattan surface, dampen a
soft cloth with neutral soap water and wipe gently to
remove dirt.
PAPER CORD
The rope we use for weaving is a natural and durable
material made from paper. The paper is treated with
a thin layer of wax before it is wound up into the
finished paper cord. To clean a paper cord surface,
dampen a soft cloth with neutral soap water and wipe
gently to remove dirt.
PLASTIC
Dampen a soft cloth in the detergent water and wipe
to remove dirt and grime from the plastic surfaces
and buff dry with soft dry cloth.
TRAVERTINE
Travertine is a natural stone material, which means
that every slab varies in terms of vein pattern and
color. Travertine has an open surface, which means
that if water is left on the surface for a period, it can
leave marks. Therefore, we recommend using coasters
for items that can leave marks and stains.
Please do not use cleaning products containing acid
on the surface. It is recommended to use cleaning
products intended for natural stone. For a more
durable surface, an impregnating surface treatment
can be applied using stone oil or stone treatment
products. The surface of the tables is polished and
untreated; please note that any treatment might
change the color of the stone.
Extended exposure to the outdoors can lead to color
changes and staining. During the winter season, we
advise covering the tables with a waterproof cover or
storing them indoors.
FIBER CONCRETE
It is recommended that the product is not standing
in extreme high temperature and sunlight for several
months. Standing in high humidity levels can cause
the product to become soft and fragile. If the product
is exposed to extreme heat or cold, the product may
expand causing it to break or become damaged.
Avoid sharp objects as they can harm the surface of
the product.
POWDER COATED AND PAINTED
SURFACE Duke Table / Gear Table / Quartz / Ghost Table
Wipe off dust with a soft, moist cloth. For more
stubborn marks use a mild soap solution and a soft
cloth to gently clean. Rinse with a little water, then dry
with another soft towel.
We recommend that all kitchenware and beverages
should be placed on mats and any spillages should be
wiped away immediately. Alcohol and tartrates may
cause permanent damages.
