Our products are made from European oak.

Quarter-sawn wood displays characteristic shiny “rays” or “flecks.” Oak is a ring-porous wood (with large pores), which creates a flame-like grain pattern on flat-sawn surfaces.

Color variations are a natural process in wood. As with all wood types, light, humidity, water, and temperature are factors that can affect your furniture. Discoloration is normal, but direct exposure to sunlight can accelerate this significantly. To prevent this, avoid leaving objects such as bowls, vases, etc., in the same place for too long.

Maintain a constant temperature (between 18 and 20°C / 64–68°F) and a normal humidity level (between 60% and 70%) to avoid shrinking and expansion of the wood (which can cause light edges along doors and sides). Heat and dryness can cause cracks or splits in glued joints of solid oak, and oak veneer may also detach or crack as a result.

Some models feature knots in the wood, giving the furniture an authentic character. The size and frequency of knots vary from piece to piece—don’t forget, our furniture is made from natural materials.

There are 2 different oak appearances that we work with: Natural Oak – without knots, and Rustic Oak – with knots. The types are predefined in our collections and cannot be changed arbitrarily, but for our solid wood tables this is possible.

Our oak cabinets and tables are available in 3 different finishes: sanded, brushed, and scratched

The sanded finish provides a smooth and sleek surface.

The brushed finish adds a tactile dimension: you can clearly feel the grain when you run your hand over it.

The scratched finish is applied perpendicular to the grain, creating extra depth and a subtle line pattern. This effect becomes even more pronounced when stained. Combined with a Patina finish, it produces a beautifully rustic result.

Our furniture receives the finish that oak wood requires: a stain and a double layer of lacquer. No extensive maintenance is needed. When removing dust, it is best to use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Due to the open pores of the wood, excessive use of water can damage the lacquer layer (causing it to lift from underneath) or result in white spots. For more intensive cleaning, immediately remove any excess moisture.

Never use detergents, thinners, furniture restorers, or wax polish. These can have such an impact on the lacquer layer that any further claims to the manufacturer will be excluded. Certain types of rubber can react with the lacquer or leave black marks. Always use coasters or mats under hot pots or dishes.
