Care instructions KERALA

ORIGIN:

India

For this furniture, we use solid sheesham wood of the finest quality which is grown on plantations under governmental control. The sheesham wood - a type of East Indian rosewood - grows very slowly and is thus even harder than oak wood. The typical quality characteristic is a strong grain which remains clearly visible.

Pieces of solid wood furniture are a piece of nature. They ensure an ideal living environment.

Each piece of furniture has been hand-made and is a natural product with irregular structures and colors. This means each piece of furniture is unique, with its own characteristics.

Pieces of solid wood furniture can darken due to solar radiation. Therefore, please ensure even incidence of light and do not place any objects on your furniture for long periods during the first few weeks. This could lead to an irregular color picture.

Pieces of solid wood furniture must be kept in the living space. In the case of improper storage or placement in humid or cold surroundings, damage can occur to the furniture.

Please note that wood can undergo changes due to fluctuating temperatures, humidity and other influences. Despite careful selection and processing of the wood, the side panels and plates can warp slightly, and cracks may even appear. This is not a case of complaint, as you can prevent shrinkage and swelling of the wood with a humidity of 50 - 60 percent and a constant room temperature of 68°F. The furniture should never be placed too close to a direct source of heat.

Our pieces of furniture comply with the European directives REACH and EUTR.

Handles:

In some products, bigger handles may be found inside the piece of furniture or in the interior of drawers, or mounted to doors. This serves for transport safety. The handles can easily be remounted with a screwdriver.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Never use strong household cleaners, abrasive cleaners or wet cloths for cleaning your furniture.

It is normally sufficient to wipe down your piece of wood furniture on a regular basis with a slightly moistened, lintfree cloth. Always wipe in the direction of the grain. To prevent marks, you should not allow fluids or greases to rest on a surface for a prolonged time.

COLOR NATURAL:

In the color “Natur”, your piece of furniture does not need any additional treatment such as oils or waxes.

Please remember that the surface is not sealed completely in order to preserve the natural optics and haptics of the wood. You should therefore be especially vigilant in immediately wiping away fluids and greases.

If marks still occur, for instance due to fluids absorbed by the wood, these can be removed by means of the enclosed sandpaper sponge. Sand with slight pressure in the direction of the wood grain and control the result in short distances by dry wiping or suctioning of the sand spot.

COLORS OILED, NOUGAT:

Please remember that the surface is not sealed completely in order to preserve the natural optics and haptics of the wood. You should therefore be especially vigilant in immediately wiping away fluids and greases.

If necessary, the surface of the wood can be retreated with a colorless, customary furniture oil.

COLORS WALNUT, HONEY AND MARBLE:

These colors have a very shiny wooden surface. If you notice that it is becoming increasingly matte, you can retreat your furniture with customary furniture care products such as polishes.

WE WISH YOU LONG-LASTING JOY WITH YOUR NEW PIECE OF FURNITURE!
