Wood is a natural material – no two pieces of wood are the same – which is why there are no two identical pieces of wooden furniture. Wood is constantly changing, which means that its structure and color evolve over time. The biggest changes occur at the beginning of a piece of furniture's life. Solid wood is mainly affected by seasonal changes in humidity. During the summer, wood expands and may cause tabletops to bow slightly. During the winter, the wood contracts again.

Wood movement – expanding and contracting – can cause 'checks' (small splits and cracks between the wood's veins) to appear. However, these do not damage the product and can usually be treated with a wood oil treatment. To maximize the lifespan of wooden furniture, it is important to ensure that it is continuously cared for and maintained. Below are guidelines on how to best treat and maintain your furniture made of solid wood.

Using a neutral wood oil will help the wood retain its original color, give it a water-repelling effect, and prevent it from drying out. For a lighter/white surface, we recommend treating the product with white-pigmented wood oil. Apply oil with a soft sponge or soft, lint-free cloth in the direction of the wood grain in a continuous thin layer. Allow the oil to dry for three hours, then wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove any excess oil. Daily cleaning (wiping the surface after a meal, for example) slowly removes oil from the wood, which is why it is recommended that you treat the wood 4–6 times a year or as needed. Please read the instructions on the bottle before treatment.

For a more thorough clean of your wooden furniture, you should use a wood cleaner, which removes marks like oil-based stains, water rings and more. It can also be used to wash tannic acid out of oak wood. Remember to treat the surface with neutral wood oil or white-pigmented oil after using wood cleaner. Always remember to treat the underside of your furniture; otherwise, there is a risk that the wood will warp or crack. If the surface of the wood ‘rises up’ (becomes rough) after treatment, you can lightly sand it in the direction of the wood grain using fine sandpaper (minimum 200 grit). Never use steel wool!

Good Advice for Wooden Furniture

• Daily cleaning should be done with a clean, well-wrung damp cloth.
• For stubborn stains, wood cleaner is recommended.
• Treatment, cleaning or sanding of the wood must always be done in the direction of the wood grain.
• Do not place hot or wet items on wooden surfaces, as this can cause stains/burns.
• Placing wooden furniture close to strong heat sources (fireplaces and radiators) can affect the wood and increase the risk of warping.
• Wood should not be permanently covered by airtight materials (oilcloth, for example) for extended periods.
• When treating tabletops, treatment should be performed on both sides.

Wood veneer is made from thin sheets of solid wood applied to a base of MDF, plywood or chipboard. Veneered surfaces should be cleaned regularly with a damp cloth. In case of spots or stains, remove them with a well-wrung cloth. The surface must be dried immediately after so that no liquid of any kind remains.

For daily cleaning, wipe with a clean, dry cloth or a cloth wrung out in clean water. If a wrung-out cloth or chamois is used, immediately wipe away any excess water with a clean, dry cloth. Dirty surfaces should be wiped with a damp cloth. Again, dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Be aware that liquid detergents will dissolve the oil, so an oil treatment should be repeated. To do this, apply wood oil evenly with a soft cloth or sponge in the direction of the wood's grain. After 2-3 hours, the wood may be polished with a clean, dry cloth. If intermediate sanding is needed, use fine sandpaper (no. 220). Never sand across the grain and never use iron wool or wire sponges. Avoid exposing the surfaces to water or other liquids for an extended period of time. Spilt liquids should be wiped away immediately.

Wipe with a clean, dry cloth or with a cloth or chamois that has been wrung out in clean water. If a wrung-out cloth is used, immediately wipe away the water with a clean, dry one.

Dirty surfaces are wiped with a cloth or chamois that has been wrung out in soapy water. Again, dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.

We recommend using mild detergents for cleaning lacquered veneer. It is not recommended to use harsh detergents or products containing scouring powder, resulting in a dull, scratched and damaged surface. Avoid exposing the surfaces to water or other liquids for an extended period of time. Spilt liquids should be wiped away immediately.

Accoya is a treatment that makes the wood resistant to external factors, including the impact of fluctuating weather. During the Accoya treatment process, the cell walls of the wood are closed, ensuring that the wood does not absorb water and moisture. Fungus and decay can therefore not penetrate the structure of the wood, as it is otherwise known to do in an untreated state. Accoya treatment also makes the wood stable, which is why it has a longer lifespan. This does not affect the structure of the wood.

Accoya wood is 100% recyclable and non-toxic, and the Accoya wood we use is FSC™ certified. Therefore, it can be disposed of in the same manner as untreated wood without any additional harmful effects to our environment. For example, one can safely burn Accoya wood for bioenergy. The wood requires less maintenance, and it is not necessary to treat the wood with protective oil, but you may do so if you would like to provide an extra protective barrier. Using a protective oil will not affect the unique properties of the Accoya wood.

If you would like to treat your furniture with oil, please follow the following instructions:

We recommend using Outdoor Wood Oil from Guardian as it is specially developed to care for and maintain unvarnished outdoor wood. The Outdoor Wood Oil from Guardian is based on vegetable oils. Wooden furniture that is used outdoors is very exposed to the elements and is susceptible to changes in climate (sunlight, rain and varying temperatures) which can cause mould and mildew to grow. The risk of mould and mildew infestation is minimised by regularly applying oil. If you notice any algae growth on the surface of the bench due to long-term rain exposure, these spots can be removed using a wood cleaner. Due to the Accoya treatment, the algae growth will be limited to the bench's surface and will not have penetrated the wood.

Wood oil and wood cleaner must be applied in the direction of the wood grain with a soft, lint-free cloth or sponge. Never apply in direct sunlight.

Formed over thousands of years, each piece of marble carries the marks of its history, displaying the natural imperfections that make each piece unique.

To respect the authenticity of the natural material, our marble products have been sanded and polished to ensure that the stone retains its natural beauty while increasing its functionality. The non-chemical polish leaves a satin-smooth finish which repels liquid and dirt. However, please be advised that all liquids – including water – should never be left to dry on marble, as they will damage the surface. In addition to this, avoid any contact with acidic fruit or harsh and abrasive chemicals and corrosives.

We recommend that regular cleaning of marble is as gentle as possible. Dust the surface regularly and gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth when needed. If necessary, you can add a bit of mild detergent. Ensure that the detergent is wiped away with a damp cloth. Never spray chemicals or abrasive cleaners on your marble. If the stone needs refreshment, we recommend using marble polish. To prevent ring marks, use coasters under glasses and any containers containing liquids. Always clean up spills immediately. Be careful with hard or abrasive objects, as these may scratch the delicate and porous surface of the marble.

Travertine is a soft stone material that has been formed by nature. There are, therefore, variations in the pattern and tonal qualities of the stone. The surface has been given with a special stone sealer, but it may develop scratches over time due to everyday use. We recommend handling the product with care, keeping the surface clean, and avoiding residues from food, spices, and cleaning agents.

Travertine is sensitive to acidic solvents such as coffee, orange juice, tomato sauce, ketchup, wine, carbonated beverages etc. For that reason, it is best to clean up spills quickly with a damp cloth and a stone cleaning product. The longer a spill sits, the more likely it is to cause a stain, so it is imperative to be vigilant when it comes to spills. Even liquids such as water should be immediately blotted with a piece of tissue paper or dry cloth, as the water can seep through the stone's pores and result in discoloration. Therefore, prevention is always the best remedy for maintaining the appearance of the natural stone. Apply a stone sealer at least once a year, depending on the frequency of use (we recommend Dry Treat's Stain-Proof). If you use ceramic crockery with edges that may damage the stone or glasses that may leave ring marks, please use coasters as a preventive measure. Also, be careful with hard objects that might scratch the surface during cleaning or regular use.

We recommend that you clean the travertine as gently as possible. Dust off the surface regularly and wipe the travertine with a damp cloth when needed. If necessary, you can add a bit of mild dishwashing detergent. Remove the soap with a clean damp cloth.

Never use dusting sprays or abrasive cleaners on your travertine or cleaning agents containing vinegar, citrus, bleach, ammonia or store-bought products that contain acids, alkalis or other potentially harmful chemicals. If unsure, always spot test in an area out of sight.

Acrylic stone is an innovative combination of acrylic and stone. The material is highly durable while having a smooth feel and textured expression. Wipe with a damp cloth.

As a part of our effort to increase the number of certified products in our collection, we increasingly use recycled glass as a material for tableware and accessories. Each piece crafted from recycled glass has been mouth-blown and has a characteristic, unique color hue due to recycled material that is determined by the original glass material. Our glassware made from recycled glass is dishwasher safe. Vases should be rinsed in lukewarm water.

Because our glasses are handmade and mouth-blown, no two glasses are exactly the same. Therefore, slight variations in size and form may occur. All of our glass tableware is dishwasher safe. We always aim for a thin and light expression in our glasses, so even though all glass is dishwasher safe, we suggest handling them with care and stack carefully in the dishwasher. The remaining soda lime and borosilicate glass items should be washed by hand.

For regular cleaning, use a soft, dry cloth. For heavier stains, use a soft brush with a standard detergent and rinse with a solution of vinegar and water. Finish by wiping with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid using chemicals and abrasive cleaners, as these will damage the surface of the glass.

Use a soft, clean damp cloth to clean mirror glass. Each time a mirror is moved, there is a risk of damage, which is why we recommend moving your mirror around as little as possible. Do not allow the mirror's edges to remain wet for extended periods of time. Do not use acidic or alkaline chemicals on the mirror, and never use abrasive cleaners/powders or steel wool. For more thorough cleaning, use commercial glass cleaners without ammonia or vinegar.

Opaque glass originated in Venice in the 16th century. The translucent glass used for our lighting products allows for a translucent, soft light. Wipe down with a damp cloth and a drop of mild detergent if needed.

We use both transparent and reactive glaze for our tableware and decorative objects. All glazed stoneware items are dishwasher safe.

A transparent, glossy glaze provides a beautiful depth of color. At the same time, it also reveals imperfections in the raw material that is normally not visible to the naked eye. This is a natural characteristic of the product's design, bearing the hallmarks of handmade products.

With a reactive glaze, each item will have a different outcome depending on its shape, burning temperature and even the location in the kiln. Some reactive glazes are applied by hand to achieve a unique and distinctive look. Depending on the glaze, most variations occur around the edge.

In general, do not use any chemical or abrasive cleaners. Small marks on tableware – particularly on matte glazed surfaces, which tend to be more porous than high-gloss finishes – can be caused by cutlery. This is a part of the wear and tear that occurs with this unique glazing. To retain the quality of your piece and ensure longevity, use a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and warm, soapy water to clean. We recommend wiping with a clean, dry cloth afterwards.

We use unglazed porcelain for various products, from plant pots and vases to lighting. To clean, rinse in lukewarm water or wipe with a damp cloth.

As a part of our effort to increase the number of certified products in our collection, we have introduced recycled raw stoneware as a material used for accessories. To clean, wipe with a damp cloth.

With the proper care and attention, your rug will look beautiful for many years to come. Some fiber loss or ‘shedding’ is normal for new rugs and will diminish with frequent vacuuming which will also lift flattened pile in high-traffic areas.

• For looped pile rugs, use a cylinder vacuum with a smooth nozzle and no beater bar.
• Use castor cups under furniture.
• Lay non-slip underlay under all rugs.
• Rotate rugs regularly to spread wear.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, which may result in color fading.

To minimize damage when a problem arises: Avoid rubbing, which can cause permanent surface damage.

We use high quality wool, and mainly New Zealand wool, in various weaving techniques. Both tufted and flatwoven rugs must be vacuumed frequently to remove natural rug shedding. Rotate the rug regularly and do not rub wet stains, but absorb with paper towels and clean with a damp cloth. Use professional carpet cleaning if needed. Our wool rugs are for indoor use only. Avoid using in damp areas such as cellars, bathrooms and kitchens.

Our Kelim Rugs are handmade, which is why the weave may differ slightly from rug to rug. The weaving is done on a 'Punja' loom, using a traditional and manual loom technique that is one of the oldest in the world. The wool-cotton yarn is hand-dyed, and some shade variation may occur due to the nature of the wool and dye. The Kelim weave yarns have a unique, coarse feel that bring an added element of tactility to the rug, which is characteristic to traditional kelim rugs. Vacuum clean only.

Our Jute Rugs are handwoven from natural jute fibers, a material that is both durable and sustainable. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Avoid using in damp areas such as cellars, bathrooms and kitchens. Do not dry clean. Vacuum clean only. Seek professional rug cleaning if necessary.

Vacuum frequently on medium power. Remove wet stains by carefully dabbing with a lint-free cloth or sponge wrung in warm detergent-free water. If the stain remains, we recommend professional dry cleaning.

To maintain the condition of your sheepskin furniture, regularly vacuum and air it out. Use a sponge, lukewarm water, and a mild wool shampoo for cleaning and immediately treat any spots with water. Keep the furniture out of direct sunlight to prevent colour changes in the wool.

Vacuum frequently with a soft brush. For stains, use boiled water with a natural soap: Whisp 2-3 tablespoons of soap flakes into 1 liter of water and use the foam. Apply the foam with a soft cloth, dry it, and wipe off the leather thoroughly with a soft cotton cloth. Avoid bar soap, saddle soap, leather cleaners, household detergents or chemical products. Protect from direct sunlight, excessive heat and sharp objects.

Products made of 100% stainless steel have been given a special coating or plating to achieve their distinctive look. Please note that natural wear and tear may occur, as well as small scratches due to everyday use.

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean. Do not use chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Please note that harsh polishing will damage the surface coating.

Powder coated surfaces are durable and easy to clean. To clean the surface, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemicals or harsh abrasives and avoid using water.

Metal that has been treated with an anti-rust powder coating is suitable for outdoor use. However, do be aware that prolonged outdoor use and exposure to the elements will cause corrosion and rusting over time. We therefore advise you to store your products in a dry place during cold or wet weather – particularly if the temperature drops below freezing. Please note that if the powder coating is scratched off or removed in places, rust will develop at a significantly faster pace in this area.

Our products made from powder coated galvanized steel are galvanized to minimize corrosion, but please note that rust may occur over time. We therefore do not recommend exposing the products to water over a prolonged period of time. The products are suitable for outdoor use, but we advise you to store the products in a dry place during cold or wet weather – particularly if the temperature drops below freezing.

We work with 100% recycled casted aluminum. The material has a raw, matte finish. To clean, please wipe with a damp cloth.

We use various types of aluminum in our designs, including brushed aluminum. To ensure the longevity of your brushed aluminum surface, we recommend using a damp, soft cloth to clean the surface. Afterwards, the surface should always be wiped dry with a separate cloth to avoid stains.

For best results and when treating stubborn stains, we suggest using a cleaner that is specially designed for aluminum. Refrain from using any harsh, chemical treatments on your aluminum surface.

Brass is a natural material that will patinate over time. To us, patina is beautiful, but if you prefer, you can use a special brass polish to remove discoloration when needed. Please handle with care. To clean the brass surface, wipe with a dry cloth.

On certain products, the brass has been lacquered to prevent marks and to increase the product's durability. However, the surface is still delicate and should be handled with care. Wipe with a damp cloth to clean.
