Wooden Furniture

The natural texture of wood can bring warmth to your home, making you feel surrounded by nature. Our wood products typically include oak, ash, walnut, and premium engineered wood, which are processed in various ways to create durable furniture.

Wooden furniture is best suited for all types of home spaces, especially modern, Scandinavian, and Japanese interior styles that emphasise natural textures.

Oak Wood

Oak is sturdy and durable, with a clear, natural wood grain, making it suitable for furniture intended for long-term use. It is relatively heavy and expensive, making it ideal for modern and Scandinavian styles, as well as high-traffic spaces such as living rooms and dining rooms.

Ash Wood

Ash has a light color and natural grain, combining good toughness and lightness, creating a bright and warm atmosphere. It is less resistant to moisture, making it suitable for Scandinavian, Japanese, and modern minimalist styles in living rooms, bedrooms, and studies.

Walnut Wood

Walnut boasts a dark, fine grain and a high-end feel, with excellent stability, making it a popular wood for high-end furniture. It is expensive and dark in color, suitable for modern minimalist luxury and American styles, as well as spaces that emphasize quality, such as studies and living rooms.

Premium Engineered Wood

Premium engineered wood has a stable structure, is not easily deformed, combines the appearance of natural wood grain with high cost-effectiveness, and is relatively easy to maintain. Although it lacks the unique texture and feel of natural solid wood, it is very suitable for modern homes, apartments, and frequently used living spaces.

Stone

Marble
Travertine
Sintered Stone

Marble

Natural marble boasts unique natural textures and an elegant feel, adding a touch of luxury to any space. It's best suited for modern minimalist, contemporary, classic, and high-end residential spaces.

However, its surface is easily scratched and absorbs stains, requiring regular sealing and maintenance. Wipe daily with a soft, damp cloth and avoid acidic cleaners.

Travertine

Travertine features natural pores and warm textures, creating a soft and layered natural atmosphere. It's best suited for wabi-sabi, Mediterranean, modern natural, and resort-style spaces.

However, its porous nature makes it prone to absorbing water and staining, requiring regular sealing. Keep it dry and wipe with a neutral detergent daily.
-

Sintered Stone

Sintered stone is scratch-resistant, heat-resistant, stain-resistant, and doesn't easily bleed color, combining beauty and practicality. It's best suited for modern, minimalist, contemporary, and high-traffic homes.

However, the edges and corners are still at risk of chipping from strong impacts, and repairs are difficult. Daily cleaning simply requires wiping with a damp cloth or neutral detergent.

Fabric

Cotton
Linen
Velvet
Boucle
Polyester

Cotton

Cotton is soft, skin-friendly, breathable, and comfortable, bringing a natural and warm feel, suitable for Nordic, country, modern, and casual style spaces.

However, it tends to attract stains and wrinkle easily, and its abrasion resistance is relatively average. Regular vacuuming and timely stain removal are recommended to keep it clean.

Linen

Linen has a natural texture and good breathability, with a fresh and natural feel, suitable for Nordic, Japanese, wabi-sabi, and natural-style spaces.

However, it wrinkles easily and has lower stain resistance. Regular vacuuming and spot cleaning are recommended, avoiding prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Velvet

Velvet has a soft and delicate feel with a unique sheen, creating an elegant and luxurious atmosphere suitable for light luxury, modern, Art Deco, and vintage style spaces.

However, it easily leaves creases and attracts dust. Gentle vacuuming with the nap in the direction of the nap is recommended.

Boucle

Bouclé fabric, with its fluffy looped weave, offers a warm and layered texture, making it popular with modern furniture and suitable for modern, Scandinavian, wabi-sabi, and minimalist spaces.

However, the weave easily traps dust and can be snagged by sharp objects. Regular vacuuming is recommended, and pet scratching should be avoided.

Polyester

Polyester fiber is durable, wrinkle-resistant, and colorfast, offering both durability and value, making it suitable for modern homes, apartments, and high-traffic living spaces.

However, its breathability is not as good as natural fibers, and it lacks the feel of natural fabrics. Regular vacuuming and wiping with a damp cloth are sufficient.
