Natural talents: Furniture made from solid wood

Translation: machine translated
Solid wood exudes cosiness and is unbeatably versatile. The colour spectrum of the individual species ranges from beige to dark brown. Even colours such as red or black hardly stop at finishing the material. The wide selection makes it so easy for us to find the right piece for our interior. We'll show you our favourites from light to dark solid wood types and tell you about the advantages of this all-rounder material.
We love solid wood! Especially in view of the coming season. And there are good reasons for this:
- Value: Only pure wood, without the addition of plywood, chipboard or fibreboard, is considered solid. It consists of individual, cut lamellas that are permanently pressed together with glue. This is exactly what makes it so stable and valuable.
- Longevity: With careful care, solid wood will outlast several generations. Small signs of wear can be repaired with sandpaper and dents with sandpaper. Colours can also be refreshed with the help of natural oils.
- Sensuality: It is a material that provides warmth, smells pleasant and feels good to the touch without being electrostatic. This is a particular plus point for accessories that we often hold in our hands.
- Breathability: Solid woods also regulate the exchange of air in a room. They absorb moisture in small quantities and release it again.
- Versatility: Wood is an all-rounder that adapts to any interior. Whether mid-century, shabby chic or country house style, the understated colour nuances of the material blend into a style with ease. In combination with other materials such as metals, leather or textiles, solid wood furniture becomes a timeless eye-catcher.
- Authenticity: The original grain is retained in solid wood thanks to the careful processing. This is what makes each individual slat, which is put together to form a large whole, so unique. The patterned surfaces of furniture appear so lively and almost as if they could tell stories.
