Leather is a product of nature, imbued with its own history and life, resulting in distinct and individual characteristics. Each piece will inevitably display unique signs of its origin, making every hide one of a kind.

Crafted from premium natural leather, unlike synthetic alternatives, this leather retains its organic character, ensuring a timeless and luxurious appeal. With its soft, supple texture,it feels smooth and inviting to the touch, while its breathable nature allows it to adjust to body temperature for enhanced comfort.

Over time, this leather develops a rich patina, deepening in character and beauty with use. No two pieces are ever the same, as each hide showcases unique variations in grain, tone, and texture. These natural distinctions add authenticity, ensuring that every piece reflects genuine craftsmanship.

As a product of nature, leather naturally displays individual characteristics such as subtle colour variations, stretch marks, scars, and fine grain patterns. These markings are not imperfections but rather inherent features that celebrate the leather’s organic beauty.

We embrace these unique qualities, as they contribute to the authenticity and timeless appeal of each piece. With its exceptional durability and character, this leather is a true investment in quality and craftsmanship.

As with any natural material, existing fluids and moisture can leach over time. A natural process of teak involves oil moving to the surface of the teak.

This natural process of teak oil leaching can cause staining; this can be especially evident if the furniture pieces are experiencing exposure to weather elements, particularly rain.

We do not recommend placing this natural timber piece directly onto carpets or rugs. Moisture will generally seep through the ends of the timber. If placing it onto carpets or rugs, markings may be avoided by using a protective liner such as thick plastic.

None of the above is viewed as a fault; we embrace these changes as the natural characteristics and beauty of timber furniture.  

Humidity causes mould to grow. Limited airflow and moisture create a microclimate for mould to develop. In some cases, mould will begin growing on furniture, clothing and other contents within the home.
In instances when this occurs, it is not an inherent fault of the furniture, clothing and other contents; rather, humidity or dampness in the air can supply enough moisture for mould growth on any surface. Mould can occur anywhere, and humid climates provide the optimal conditions for the fungi to grow and thrive on any surface.
