Materials
Material decides everything: how a piece feels, how it takes the light and how it ages. Here is our guidance on choosing and caring for it.
Solid wood and veneer
Solid wood patinates, can be sanded and repaired: it is the material that best stands the test of time. It moves slightly with room humidity. Veneer — a thin sheet of wood on a stable core — gives the look of wood with great dimensional stability, useful for large tops.
Care
Dust with a dry cloth, wipe spills immediately and avoid placing furniture against a radiator or in direct sun.
Upholstery fabrics
Bouclé
A looped yarn creating a soft relief. Fine, tight loops resist snags better than large loops.
Velvet
Short-pile velvet catches the light and shifts in tone with the angle. Brush it in the direction of the pile.
Linen and cotton
Natural and breathable, they take on a creased look that is part of their charm.
Leather
Full-grain leather keeps the natural grain of the hide and patinates with use. Nourish it once or twice a year with a suitable product and keep it away from heat sources.
Stone, ceramic and metal
Natural stone is unique by nature but can be porous: protect it from acids such as lemon or wine. Ceramic resists heat and scratches. Lacquered or treated metal cleans with soapy water, without abrasives.
