We take great care and pride in selecting the most beautiful and durable materials for our products. They aim to last the test of time, and give you enough choice to create your perfect piece. We can also offer other materials and colour outside of our standard palette. *Surcharge and additional lead times may apply.
SOLID TEAK WOOD Our factory is located on the northern coast of Central Java Indonesia. We use SVLK certified government plantation grown teak wood from a local plantation forest. Sourcing locally allows us to buy the whole log so that we can use up every inch of the tree, with offcuts being used for our smaller accessories.
CHARACTERISTICS AND COLOURS Teak wood has one of the most beautiful grains and is one of the most hardwaring and durable woods. It is the the wood of choice for outdoor furniture as very few species can stand such harsh weathers. With our teak woods, we are able to stain the material to be different colourings such as black, oak, walnut and white-wash and grey-wash stains so you can find your perfect wood tone.
WOOD CARE Solid wood can expand and contract in response to temperature changes. Small surface cracks and movement may occur and are a normal part of the characteristics of the wood. Please avoid extreme temperature variations, placing your furniture outside (if made for indoor), in direct sunlight, or directly underneath any air-conditioning vents or heaters.
*If the item is too hot to hold in your hand, it is too hot to place on the timber. Please use a coaster or plate before placing hot items.
*It is recommended to wipe spills immediately. Please use a combination of mild soap and water to clean the wood surface. Use a soft cloth to wipe the surface in the direction of the grain, and do not use any metal scrubbers. If you use a detergent it needs to be non-corrosive, and suitable for cleaning wood.
ADDITIONAL WOOD MAINTENANCE
*We use an oil based sealer for our timber solid wood tables. For additional maintenance, we recommend sealing over time. You should use a clear oil based furniture sealer. Apply polish evenly with a soft cloth.
*If you do experience any significant cracking, a simple wood cement filler will do the trick, such as Sellys Plastic wood. Carefully fill the cracks with the product, wiping any excess, then once dry you can stain the filled area with a teak coloured stain marker. If you are unsure how to apply the product, please engage a specialist.
*Do not leave wood in direct sunlight, as this can change the colour and lead to splitting.
OUTDOOR WOOD A water based sealer is applied for protection (oil based for indoor teak). Please note outdoor teak will naturally grey over time. Covering outdoor teak when not in use or placing it out of direct sunlight will protect it from the elements.
OUTDOOR WOOD MAINTENANCE To avoid greying over time, sand the surface and apply a UV-stable exterior grade oil every 6-12 months (ie. decking oil).
MARBLE We import our marbles from across the globe such as Europe and India, each species varies in characteristics. As we are always conscious of our environment, we ensure that all marble offcuts do not go to waste, they are given to the local community to build houses and footpaths.
CARARRA MARBLE Probably the most famous of the marble family. This honed marble from Italy has a beautiful bright white and grey colouring. Each piece varies in grain size and texture.
NERO MARBLE Coming in as the 2nd most famous marble, is the Nero from Italy. This is for those that want a more moody feel to their home. The marble is finished in a semi gloss, and will be a showstopper. Each piece varies in grain size and texture.
RED VEIN MARBLE An unsual marble our marble supplier found a few years ago that took our breath away, so we just had to add it to our collection. It is a beautiful heavily grained black polished marble with white and red streaks. It teams well with bright colours or monochrome.
LIMESTONE An architectural stone that is honed with a soft grey colouring. Perfect for the minimalist that likes clean palette. Please note limestone is a more porous stone, so more care will need to be taken when using.
FOREST GREEN So retro, crazy and cool. This old but new again Serpentine Granite is quite the maximalist. With a rich green tone with strong veins of black, red, white, blue and dark brown, it will the talk of your space. Please note this is a heavily textured stone, so will not appear perfectly smooth.
CALACATTA VIOLA Oh Viola why so pretty. This classically Italian stone is just so pretty. Large swirls of deep to light purples and greys over mily white base. Who wouldn.t want a little Viola. Please note that this is a heavily textured stone, so will not appear perfectly smooth.
MARBLE CHARACTERISTICS AND GRAIN *Like you and I, each piece of marble is different. Each piece has grains that vary in size, scale, colour and texture. Marble is a gorgeous natural product so you may see varying characteristics. You may see some surface cracks on the grain, this is not a flaw but a characteristic of this marble.
CARE Marble is a natural stone material that is organically porous. Please ensure you wipe up spills immediately with a wet/damp cloth and wipe dry. Use a cleaning solution that is suitable for marble, please avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners that may stain, corrode or tarnish marble surfaces. We also recommend using coasters, and placemats for additional protection.
We leave our marble in their natural state, as we find marble is best when left as mother nature intended, and creates a gorgeous patina over time. If you are concerned about staining, there are many off the shelf sealers that can be applied. Please apply an appropriate sealant and note that marble is still not 100% stain proof after being sealed due to its porous nature (sealant also cannot prevent etching or scratching). If needed please consult a specialist to make the application.
COLOURS These 10 colours in our standard pallette are available in a semi-gloss powdercoated metal, lacquered polyurethane and high pressure laminate (HPL). Eg This is so that you can have a perfect table that has a matching metal leg with laminate top, or a lacquered storage unit with a matching metal base. Please note we try to closely match the colours between materials, but colours may vary between material.
METAL We powder coat all of our metals, which is a dry finishing process covering the raw metal in a smooth colour. Metal pieces may have variations as our metal is welded by hand, because of this you may see small bumps and inconsistencies in the paint on the surface. This is not a defect but a characteristic of our handmade product.
OUTDOOR METAL We use a "galvanised" out door metal, which a process to protect the metal from rust. Outdoor metals are all available in the same 10 powdercoat colours.
METAL CARE Wipe with a soft cloth and water. *Wipe off all excess water immediately. *Dust often. *Use an anti-rust spray on any outdoor metal that has chipped to prevent rust.
LAMINATES We use a (HPL) High pressure laminate. This is a plastic surface that adds a pop of colour to your tables. Each one of our laminates are finished with a solid wood edge.
LAMINATE CARE A damp cloth will remove spills and greasy spots. Rub with a clean dry cloth to bring back brightness. Occasionally clean with mild dishwashing detergent. To remove heavy build-up of dirt use cleaners such as Mr Muscle, Windex or Ajax Spray n Wipe spray cleaners.
COLOURED POLYURETHANE For pops of painted colour we use a polyurethane, which is a hard coat sprayed finish of many layers.
POLYURETHANE CARE Use warm soapy water with a damp cloth, and then wipe dry with a clean cloth. For deep grease stains use vinegar or a small amount of rubbing alcahol. For all other commercial cleaners we recommend you test product on a smaller inconspicuous area first.

LEATHER CHARACTERISTICS We use top grade Italian and lndonesian leather for all of our leather upholstery. Please let us know if you would like any of the products in an alternative colour. We use thick hide leather for our seats. It can tend to feel hard in certain places as leather is a natural product, and will stretch and lower over time when in use. As leather is natural it may not sit perfectly straight when stretched across metal. This further enhances the uniqueness.
LEATHER CARE *Dust leather furniture on a regular basis to help the leather breathe & last longer. *Do not clean leather with water as this may leave marks and change the texture. *Use a quality leather cleaner, carefully following the instructions on the product. *If unsure- test the product on a small area hidden from view.
USAGE Our products are made for indoor use unless stated otherwise. All items can be made for outdoor use, and are designed with gaps between the wood slates.
