Our

MATERIALS

Continuous quality control ensures that our furniture collection is at all times not only beautiful to look at, but also has a long lifetime. The final step that makes each piece of furniture unique.

The choice of excellent and great quality
materials is fundamental for a piece to be perfect.

Solid wood

All the wood used in production comes exclusively from sustainable forestry, certified in accordance with the FSC. This is one of the key requirements that we do not abdicate.

Solid wood is a natural product as unique as the tree itself. In it you can see the history and life of the tree in its grains, knots and fine cracks. Our wood has a balanced level of humidity in it, so that our products don’t react to fluctuations in temperature or change due to the effect of the light. A proof of a natural product.

Walnut

One of our trademarks is our walnut, coming predominantly from North America. With a very distinguished grain and harmonious colouring, it bestows the elegant look to our furniture, that we are known for.

Ash

The Ash wood used in our products comes from Europe’s sustainable forests. It has a distinctive whitish-brown look to it.

Oak

Oak wood is considered to be hardwood. Its colour is a mix of beige with a little darkish yellow.

Ash coloured Black
Applied on our 100% FSC Ash wood.

A complex technique that provides a semi-transparent appearance and allows the natural texture and depth of the ash to stay visible. Since the microstructure of the wooden surface is not smooth but brushed, the stained wood appears naturally matt despite its colouring.

Fruit-based oils

Only natural oils made from fruit are applied in our products. Natural oils allow the wood to breathe absorbing and returning humidity from the air, improving the environment around you.

Glazing

A water-based glazing is applied manually in our woods – beech or ash. It has a semi-transparent coloured appearance, allowing the natural texture and depth of the wood to stay visible. Since the microstructure of the wood surface is not smooth, the stained wood appears naturally matt despite his colouring.

Fabrics

We have a well thought and curated fabric collection, from renowned manufactures, that differ in style and colour, so you get the product exactly as you envisioned it. All our fabrics are suited for home and contract furniture and have an abrasion test value no lower than 55,000 cycles (martindale). You can, however, suggest one you had in mind.

Natural Leather

Through dyed leather. Finishing with resins and pigments. Soft, waxy feel and semi-matte appearance due to a pigmented and protective coat.

Synthetic Leather

A sleek, faux leather with an appealing, soft touch and enduring vintage appearance, Grain is a practical alternative to real leather. A unique EasyClean technology allows you to wipe the fabric clean using a damp cloth, offering a durable quality that remains unquestionably stylish. A sophisticated autumnal palette features characteristic shades of natural tan leathers as well as on-trend colours of khaki, deep teal and taupe.

Cork

The Cork fabrics are simply extraordinary. It feels somewhat like suede, are naturally water resis- tant, inert, light weight, impermeable to liquids and gases, vibration damping and resistant to wear and temperature changes. The cork fabrics are naturally hypo-allergenic, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. All our patterns are made from natural cork without artificial coloring. The different patterns are achieved only with a combination of different bonding and cutting of the cork.
