• What types of solid wood are used?
    We mainly use oak and beech.

  • How do I maintain solid wood?
    The protective layer should be renewed periodically. A new layer of paint, oil, or varnish once a year to protect against moisture. This prevents the wood from expanding, shrinking, or warping.
    Also, try to avoid direct sunlight to prevent discoloration and drying out of the wood.

  • What thicknesses are available?
    The thicknesses depend on the model. We’d be happy to discuss this in advance and check the possibilities.

  • Are specific finishes possible, such as stained or varnished?
    We specialize in bending. To remain focused on our specialty, we do not perform other treatments or finishes.

  • What are the possible applications for solid wood?
    The possibilities are endless! Furniture, lamps, design, backs… Your idea in our hands. Not sure we can help you? Feel free to contact us!

  • How heavy are the wood types used per cubic meter?
    The weight depends on the type of wood, here are the weights at a moisture content of 12%:
    Beech: 720 kg/m³
    Oak: 760 kg/m³

  • Where does the wood come from?
    The wood mainly comes from France and Croatia.
