Solid wood is an expression of the life of a tree, grown for at least 30 years, and the weather patterns it experienced, the absorption of sunshine and minerals. The tree is imbued with meaning, and this meaning is transferred to the piece of furniture it becomes.
Our planks are cut in a way that honours the growth rings and grain, making them clearly visible.
AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT
Our American black walnut is from the midwestern United States. This is a prized hardwood with luxuriously figurative grain patterns and great strength. The walnut tree is relatively small, and the dark heartwood is surrounded by sap wood that is blond in colour.
Our American black walnut timber is available in a choice of oil finishes.
Danish oiled walnut
Black oiled walnut
White oiled walnut
Our Danish oil, white oil, and black oil finishes provide a renewable surface for enduring beauty. Damage can be repaired with relative ease, as the timber can be reapplied with wax or oil at any moment.

AMERICAN WHITE OAK
Our American white oak is from the eastern coast of the United States. Oak has long been used in furniture due to its great density, outstanding durability and simple, understated beauty. Its durability is compounded by the fact that it contains tannin acid, which naturally prevents rotting.
Our American white oak timber is available in a choice of oil finishes, or an oxidised finish.

This dense timber has a coarse yet even texture, compressive strength, and an appealing straight grain. It varies in colour from a cream to pale tan colour and accepts stains and coatings more readily than other timbers.
Our European ash timber is available in a choice of oil, painted, or stained finishes.

ENGINEERED SOLID WOOD
A small number of our products have components made out of engineered solid wood, which harnesses the beauty and strength of solid wood, while increasing the possibilities when used as a planar material.
Solid wood is a living, breathing material that continues to expand, contract and change throughout its lifetime. It requires very specific bracing when used as a planar material to prevent warping and other movement. Certain designs do not allow for such braces or similar construction, so engineered wood is used instead.
4mm-thick planks of our signature timbers, cross-banded with alternating grain directions, create an engineered plank made from a single hardwood. Essentially a reconstruction of plank of solid wood, this material retains all the benefits of solid planks of timber, including a renewable surface and consistent appearance even with rounded edges, while having the added benefit of greater planar stability achieved through the lamination of planks. This material minimises waste, as the less desirable planks of wood, such as those with sapwood or knots, are used for the inner layers.
HDF fibreboard is engineered for outstanding strength and durability. We apply paint, in a choice of ten colours with a satin matte or gloss finish, evenly to our HDF, offering colour precision, lustre, and durability.
