Materials & Finishes — We conscientiously source our materials to ensure quality and longevity. From reclaimed timber to chemical-free upholstery, we work hard to choose our materials responsibly.

Timber

We source British, American, and European timbers for our furniture. Our timber is carefully screened to ensure we are using the most hardwearing materials possible.

Upholstery

Our upholstery is made up of only natural materials. Frames are made of solid beech. For filling, our upholsterers use natural materials such as hessian, coco fibres, and feathers. Wool is used in place of Flame-Resistant (FR) treated materials.

FR chemicals are proven to be toxic to humans and animals. We have pledged not to use any such materials in our designs. Wool is naturally fire-retardant and passes all UK Fire Regulations.

Finishes

We always prioritise natural, non-toxic materials to finish our work. From natural oils to vinegar solutions, we do our best to avoid harmful chemicals.

Oils

Osmo Oil

We use a specially formulated blend of natural waxes and oils that penetrate and nourishe our timber furniture. Lacquer or varnish coats wood with a plastic shell or skin, leaving it susceptible to cracking, flaking, or peeling over time.
Osmo oil is absorbed into the wood, providing a barrier seal making it wear resistant, water and dirt-repellent, durable, and extremely hard wearing.

Osmo Water Protector

The tops of our tables are sealed with Osmo Water Protector. This allows for the table tops to be completely water resistant.
Any wear can be easily renovated, for reapplication simply requires light sanding and a fresh coat of oil.

Natural Colours

Delft Blue

Wien Green

Roussillon Yellow

Pigmented Linseed Oil

To achieve a larger range of colouring, we use heavily pigmented linseed oil.
We use a process that involves multiple rounds of soaking, sanding, coating, buffing, and drying. Overall it takes 17-20 days per item. Though long-winded, this ensures unique results.
