Wood is a fascinating material that is beautiful and pleasing both to the eye and to the touch; it has a characteristic smell, texture and colour, and is synonymous with a safe approach to the environment. Wood is a renewable resource, does not pose any danger to human health and is no burden to the environment – not during its processing, while the products are used, nor after they have reached the end of their life.
By planting new trees, their life cycle starts again. Unlike modern materials, wood can age and acquires a unique maturity and patina over the course of time.

Stains |
Stains may be used to match beech or oak or products to the surroundings. Staining does not affect the wood structure and most colors do not suppress the wood pattern, either. On the contrary, wood as a natural material absorbs colors differently and for this reason the surface is characterized by lighter or darker places. The color result is also affected by the initial range of color of individual woody plants (see illustration photo). Stains are applied by either immersion or spraying. The surface is then finished only with transparent lacquer. There is no surcharge for stain color finishes.

Pigment finishes |
The natural color and texture of wood can be covered with pigment finishes, which create a compact color layer on the surface. The final appearance of the pigment finishes on the surface is, however, influenced by the type of wood, their different porosity and color, production technology, light refraction and individual perception of color finishes (see illustration photo). The relief on beech plywood is so monolithic after being finished with pigment colors that it may look like a pressed plastic part. On the contrary, on the surface of oak or ash, which have more pronounced pores in their structure, small striations remain visible even after being finished with pigment colors. Pigment finishes are subject to a surcharge.

BICOLOR |
The two-colour combination often underlines the beauty and
uniqueness of the product. It cannot be applied to all products and made in all colours. For technological reasons, only stain colours can be easily combined. However, the most popular combination is a base in colour Natural with plywood or table top in a contrasting colour finish. Bicolour is available on selected models, marked in the price list on the Bicolour line, at no surcharge. If you are interested in using a combination of 2 or more colours on other products, please contact your sales representative who will check your request. We try hard to respond favourably to customer requests. Non-standard finishes are subject to a surcharge. |
socks |
It is possible to apply special finishing to the ends of legs of selected products from our range, which resembles “socks”. We offer color combinations with socks only in the versions shown below. The height of the socks is 10 cm (excluding the glide).
You can identify the option of application of socks according to the surcharges shown by individual products. Please note that pigment colored socks cannot be applied to chairs with pigment color finishes. Please note that the height of the socks is influenced by the design of the product (e.g. upholstery, leg connection). According to the design, the height of the socks may be increased by up to 5 cm for technological reasons. |
