WOOD

Our wooden furniture and objects are crafted in Portugal from a considered selection of woods, including oak, thermo-treated pine, beech and ash. Each species has its own distinct character, expressed through variations in grain, tone and texture.


Wood is a natural material and will respond to its surroundings over time. Variations in colour and grain are inherent to the material, while exposure to light, temperature and humidity may gradually influence its appearance. These characteristics are a natural part of the material and make each piece unique.


CARE GUIDE FOR WOOD

To preserve the appearance and longevity of wooden furniture and objects:


• Remove dust regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
• For cleaning, use a soft, slightly damp cloth and wipe in the direction of the grain.
• Avoid excessive water and always dry the surface immediately after cleaning.
• Wipe spills promptly to prevent staining or absorption.
• Avoid abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals and strong cleaning products.
• Protect surfaces from excessive heat, moisture and direct sunlight.
• Use coasters and placemats where appropriate to protect against liquids, heat and marks.



CARE GUIDE FOR LACQUERED WOOD

Our high-gloss lacquered furniture is finished with a smooth, reflective surface. While the lacquer provides a durable protective layer, the high-gloss finish requires careful handling to preserve its depth and lustre.


To clean and maintain lacquered furniture:


• Remove dust gently with a clean, soft microfibre cloth. Avoid rubbing the surface when dust or particles are present, as this may cause fine scratches.
• For general cleaning, use a soft microfibre cloth slightly dampened with clean water.
• If necessary, use a small amount of mild, pH-neutral soap diluted in water.
• Wipe spills immediately and dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water marks or streaking.
• Avoid abrasive sponges, brushes, paper towels and scouring products, which may scratch or dull the high-gloss finish.
• Do not use alcohol, solvents, acetone, glass cleaner or harsh chemical cleaning products.
• Avoid placing hot or wet objects directly on the surface.
• Use coasters, placemats or protective pads to minimise scratches, heat marks and moisture.
• Do not drag objects across the surface.
• Avoid excessive polishing or vigorous rubbing, as this may alter the appearance of the high-gloss finish.
