NATURAL TEAK FURNITURE
ABOUT US
TIMELESS DESIGN
All our designs are intentionally timeless. They withstand trends and
associate well with dierent styles, and they can be passed on from one home to
the next, carrying over the stories of one lifetime into another. Our
collections go back to the essence of what we believe is good design: pieces
full of character, made from quality materials that age beautifully. We love
that solid wood evolves with the years as it carries the marks of the life
that happens to it.
THE BEAUTY OF SOLID WOOD
The beauty of natural materials lies in its peculiarities and imperfections.
Variations in the wood grain and colour, knots, medullary rays and other
natural characteristics are inherent. These are far from aws, but an intricate
part of its character. We believe that these imperfections contribute to the
charm of our products.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Outstanding craftsmanship is at the core of our brand, and behind the
simplicity of our pieces lies a constant drive for innovation. Incorporating
advanced techniques to our process of creation, each new design is revised and
reworked to the last detail: every curve, texture and line reects our design
values.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Ethnicraft’s furniture is conceived to adapt well to the hydrometric
conditions of its environment, although some cracking or movement may occur.
This is a normal adaptation to the furniture’s environment.
Our teak range comes without any nish or protective treatment. The wood is
merely polished, allowing the natural oils to rise to the surface. The high
density of teak wood has the advantage that stains do not penetrate the wood
as easily. Even with these characteristics, spills should be removed
immediately.
PREVENTIVE TREATMENT
If you want to protect the wood from the start you can apply a protective
coating. We recommend Occulto Oil (9911). This will seal the pores of the
timber and creates a natural protection. Stains and marks should still be
removed immediately.
REGULAR CARE
For regular dusting, use a dry cloth. For cleaning or in case of a spill, use
a damp cloth and natural soap. Wipe in the direction of the grain. Do not use
soap containing detergent or other chemicals. Dry with a soft clean cloth to
prevent spotting.
We always recommend protecting surfaces with coasters, mousepads, or placemats
as extreme and repetitive daily use or heat can damage the nish. Always move
objects such as owerpots, vases etc from time to time, and ensure any excess
water or dampness is wiped dry immediately to prevent marking the surface.
THOROUGH CARE
To remove stubborn stains or supercial scratches, extra-ne sandpaper can be
used. Make sure you always rub in the direction of the wood grain.
METAL STRUCTURE
We advise the following:
- Dust regularly using a soft dry cloth.
- For a more thorough cleaning, use mild soap and warm water. Rinse with clean water and wipe dry.
- Do not use steel wool, sandpaper, mineral acid, bleach or chlorine cleaners on metal surfaces.
- Do not drag the furniture along the oor, as it might damage the protective coating, cause rusting or leave permanent marks on the oor.
- Always lift the furniture when moving them from place to place.
