FAQ

• What colour finishes are available?

  All of our pieces are sealed with a linseed-oil & natural-wax blend (oil-wax).

  Standard finishes (included):

  • Natur - clear

  • White - tinted white for a lightened look

  • Brown - warm brown tone

  • Coffee - deep coffee-brown tone

  Optional oil-wax finishes (surcharge):

  • Dark Grey - subtle grey-brown tone

  • Chocolate - rich cocoa-brown tint

  Not every shade appears in the online configurator. If you would like any finish that is not listed there, just send us a quick, non-binding request.

  Note: Oak naturally takes on a deeper tone over time due to UV light and oxidation. A light re-oiling every few years refreshes the colour and maintains protection.

• Can I purchase samples?

  Yes. You can order samples of all our surface finishes and upholstery fabrics here.

• Is custom manufacturing possible?

  For larger orders and complex interior projects, we can manufacture custom products at the customer’s request.

  Please consult our expert representatives to discuss your individual needs and possible solutions.

  In most cases we rely on our proven standard range. Any custom design is subject to a feasibility assessment. Our broad expertise has enabled us to deliver complete interior fit-outs for both residential and commercial spaces in recent years.

• What are the properties of solid wood?

  Solid oak is richly textured; grain and colour vary from log to log and even within a single log (heart- vs. sapwood, radial vs. tangential cuts). Drying and finishing can accentuate these contrasts.

  All visible parts of our furniture are solid oak. Some parts of our products, such as cabinet backs or drawer bottoms are made from oak-veneered MDF for stability. The centre beam of each double bed is solid oak.

  Additional points to know:

  • Seasonal movement – Oak absorbs and releases humidity, so boards can expand, shrink or develop hairline cracks over the year. This is natural, not a defect.
  • Tannins – Oak is high in tannic acid; unprotected contact with iron can leave dark marks.
  • Patina – UV light and oxidation turn the wood a warm honey tone; contrasts soften with time.
• How is the product assembly carried out?

  Products such as chests of drawers, chairs, and TV cabinets are delivered assembled. Beds, tables, and coffee tables are delivered unassembled. However, their assembly is very simple - usually only four screws are needed (see installation). The products are packed in five-layer paper carton with special corner protection.

  We are happy to arrange assembly and installation for you with our own professional team, who will take care of delivery, carrying, assembly, and of course cleaning up all the packaging and so on.

  Details can be found on the Transport, delivery and installation page.
