PROPER USAGE AND MAINTENANCE

Proper usage and maintenance is vital for getting the most out of the valuable resources we have. Our designs are made to last for generations, but just like everything else, they need a little care to get there.

PAINTED OAK

Origin 
Oak grows in most temperate zones. The Skagerak oak comes from European forests and is either 100% FSC certified or FSC mix certified, harvested under sustainable forest management. The selection of the wood is extremely careful and all processing is by hand, so that only the best and most durable pieces of wood are used in production.

Why 
Oak is a sturdy and hardwearing type of wood containing natural tannins that will protect against bacterial growth. As an open grain wood, Oak absorbs colour really well and leaves graphic traces of the natural texture visible on the surface. 

Maintenance 
When painted, your product requires no maintenance other than cleaning with a damp cloth. The best result is obtained by wiping over with a dry cloth afterwards. Ordinary cleaning products may be used to remove stubborn dirt.

Note 
Do not leave the painted product in direct contact with fluids, for example left standing in water or in contact with wet towels or clothes. The fluid may damage the surface on the painted product. 

LEATHER

Why 
Leather is a strong and natural material that gets a beautiful patina over time. This makes it very easy to maintain and a great match for our many wooden designs. 

Cleaning 
Use a suitable leather cleaner when necessary. 

Maintenance 
The product requires a minimum of care, but if you want to freshen up the original colour of the leather you can use a suitable leather grease.
