Wood
Great furniture begins with quality materials. We work hard to find sustainably sourced hardwoods from responsibly managed forests. We currently work with three wood species: white oak, chestnut, and FSC® Certified white ash. Our woods are air-dried, hand-sealed, and carefully kiln-dried according to our own recipes. They are finished with our house-made Tenna Oil, a natural wood finish derived from tree seeds that we’ve developed over years of research and testing. Tenna Oil is meticulously applied by hand and designed to withstand wear while highlighting the natural character of the wood. Tenna Oil is resistant to spills and stains and will sustain for years with proper maintenance. Check out our care guide here to learn how!
Due to the handcrafted nature of our finishes as well as the natural characteristics of each plank of wood, you can expect to see slight variations in color and pattern amongst each of our products. Every piece is unique and one-of-a-kind. Our furniture is crafted by hand, and we use solid wood, not veneer or engineered wood.
Standard Finishes
We have three standard finishes for our furniture: Sienna, Nude, and Black. Finish samples are available - just email us!
Custom Finishes
Though we don’t currently have the time to color match, we do have the following custom finishes we can do, made to order for you, if they strike your fancy. If you’re interested, send us an email with which piece in which finish you’d like - these are 10% more, and lead time is 18-20 weeks for us to make it for you!
Fabric Options
Our fabric has a plush, soft, velvety texture. Durable & easy to clean with abrasion testing greater than 100,000.
Leather Options
We use full-grain vegetable tanned leathers from a family-run tannery in Santa Croce, Italy. The vegetable tanning process used for our leathers is an old art form: tannins, found in roots, tree bark and other plant matter are used to convert raw hides into leather, a process that eliminates the use of heavy metals in conventional leather tanning. Vegetable tannins produce leather that has a substantial look and feel, becomes softer with use and patinas gracefully with age. The rawhide for our vegetable-tanned leather comes from French farms. The natural character on the leather surface includes neck wrinkles, stretch marks, healed scars, and grain variation.
