Texture is the wood’s natural pattern and is unique for each type of wood. The texture is determined by colour, lustre, the way the cut is made, and anatomical structure.
Deciduous trees have a more complex anatomical structure, due to which we can see with the naked eye annual rings, pores, pith rays, knots, etc. For example, healthy small knots are valued for their decorative appeal. Knots develop in places where new or dead branches are covered by wood. A healthy knot is darker than the surrounding wood and does not diminish the wood quality. In a tangential cut, the texture creates an interesting figured pattern.

B.39 Beech (natural)

BEECH WOOD

Beech is among the best known and most commonly used deciduous trees. Beech wood is light to pinkish in color. Beech wood texture is not very distinctive because there is not much difference between the color of spring and summer wood (so called annual rings). The wood is hard, relatively strong, less elastic, homogeneous and dense. For indoor furniture you can select from 12 colors from our standard offer, 4 of Extra and Pantone and NCS colors below.

The standard finish for our chairs is water-based clear lacquer. The lacquered surface reaches the degree of gloss of 10° Gardner, which creates a deep matt effect. UV protection in the lacquer layer slows down natural oxidation changes in the wood coloring. The surface is resilient to the accumulation of dirt and is easy to maintain.

B.39 Oak (natural)

OAK
Oak has been one of the most sought-after materials for centuries. Its core is relatively wide, evenly colored, brownish with grey or yellowish tinges. Oak differs from other woods by its texture, especially by visible pith rays occurring in a radial (central) cross-section in the form of small, differently colored spots. These are called “mirrors” and are an evidence of genuine solid oak. The wood is strong, hard and very durable. It is the most resilient material against weather changes and fluctuations of wet and dry periods.
For indoor furniture you can select from 9 colors from our standard offer (all except B.111 cappuccino, B.116 honey and B.60 whitewash), 1 of Extra (b.20 white) and NCS colors above.

Natural Oak B.39 can be oiled or vanished.

B.39 American walnut (natural)

AMERICAN WALNUT
American walnut is native to North America and was brought to Europe in the 17th century. It is of dark brown color with lighter strips and spots of purple tinge. Thanks to its coloring, it is ideal as a substitute in furniture manufacture for more expensive dark word. American walnut is a hard, strong but relatively light wood from the temperate zone. It is easy to process and its surface shows a beautiful gloss and coloring, especially when treated with oil.


American walnut can be in natural color, oiled only.

ANTIQUE FOR BEECH

Antique finish is created by using specially developed finishing materials, which are applied manually – this technology underlines the unevenness and the originality of each product. The Antique Bianco finish imitates the appearance of an old peeling chair which was once beautifully white,
but due to the long use the cover layer has been rubbed off at edges and most exposed surfaces.
The Antique Classic finish imitates a dark stained
chair surface which has been attacked not only
by age, but also by woodworm. Besides irregular,
rubbed off, bleached, and hand-worn spots, the
surface is also decorated with tiny holes made by
the woodworm wood master.

! By default, we finish most of the seating furniture in the Antique Classic without faux woodworm holes. In that case, the colour will be identified as B130/A0. Faux holes can only be applied to products in the classic bent collection (identified as TON R&D).
! To be protected against damage by liquids, Antique Classic table tops are finished without woodworm holes. In this case, the colour code is B130/A0.

OIL-TREATED SURFACE (OAK, AMERICAN WALNUT)
The clear base of natural oils and waxes creates a mat protective film on the wood surface which does not crack and does not peel, and yet allows the wood to breathe. Minor damages on surfaces treated this way can be easily repaired. Oil layer is applied directly to the machined raw surface which is not treated by any color before being oiled. The oil brings out the wood’s natural color. This effect can be best observed on American walnut, which we therefore recommend to finish exclusively with oil. With oil, we also finish the products from unstained oak wood.

BICOLOR
A two-color combination often emphasizes the product’s beauty and exceptionality, as it cannot be applied to all products or be used with all colors. For technological reasons, only stains of the color group standard can be combined. However, the most popular combination is a base in natural colour B39 – natural with plywood or table top in a contrasting color finish. 
Bicolor is available without a surcharge for 002, Stockhoml, Malmö and Petalo models. There is a surcharge of $20 for models no.14, 18 and 30. 
B60 – whitewash, EXTRA colours, Pantone, NCS and RAL cannot be combined as bicolour.
