Materials
Where Material Meets Design.
The character of a piece begins with its materials. Lohabour works with a range of wood, engineered panels, metals, glass, stone, upholstery and other materials to create furniture that matches the design, function and requirements of each project.
SELECTED FOR THE PROJECT
Materials Selected for the Project.
There is no single material that works for every piece of furniture. The right choice depends on the design, application, environment, durability requirements, appearance and budget. Our team works with customers to define the appropriate materials and finishes for each project, while considering how they will perform during manufacturing and everyday use.
Appearance
Color, grain, texture and finish shape the visual character of the furniture.
Performance
Materials are selected according to how and where the furniture will be used.
Consistency
Materials and finishes are coordinated across collections and complete projects.
01 / WOOD & SOLID WOOD
Natural Character. Built Into the Design.
Solid wood brings natural variation, texture and warmth to furniture. Depending on the design and application, different wood species and construction methods can be considered to achieve the required appearance and performance.
Wood species, grades and availability can vary according to project requirements and destination.
02 / VENEER
The Look of Natural Wood. With Greater Design Flexibility.
Veneer allows natural wood grain and character to be incorporated into furniture surfaces while providing flexibility for larger panels and coordinated furniture collections. Grain direction, matching and finishing can be controlled according to the approved design.
03 / ENGINEERED PANELS
MDF, Plywood & Engineered Panels
Engineered panels provide dimensional consistency and flexibility for a wide range of furniture applications. MDF, plywood and other panel materials can be combined with veneer, laminate, paint and other finishes according to the design requirements.
04 / METAL
Structure With a Distinctive Finish.
Metal can provide structural strength, visual contrast or a defining detail within a furniture piece. Components can be developed according to the design and finished to complement the surrounding materials.
Cutting · Welding · Polishing · Surface Treatment
Frames · Table Bases · Chair Structures · Handles · Decorative Details · Custom Components
05 / GLASS & STONE
Glass & Stone
Hard materials such as glass and stone can introduce contrast, weight and texture to furniture designs. They can be integrated with wood, metal and other materials to create distinctive pieces for hospitality, residential and commercial environments.
Natural stone · Sintered stone · Engineered stone — availability depends on project requirements.
06 / UPHOLSTERY
Comfort Is Part of the Design.
Upholstery adds another layer of material, texture and comfort to furniture. We work with different fabrics, faux leather, leather and upholstery specifications according to the project requirements.
Fabric · Leather · Faux Leather · Foam · Stitching
Sofas · Lounge Chairs · Dining Chairs · Benches · Headboards · Ottomans · Custom Upholstered Furniture
07 / RATTAN & NATURAL MATERIALS
Rattan & Natural Materials
Natural materials can bring texture and a more organic character to furniture, particularly in hospitality, residential and outdoor-inspired environments. Rattan and other natural materials can be incorporated into selected furniture designs alongside wood, metal and upholstery.
08 / HARDWARE & COMPONENTS
Hardware & Components
The smallest components can have a significant impact on how furniture performs. Depending on the project, hardware and functional components can be selected according to the required appearance, operation and durability.
MATERIAL / FINISH / DETAIL
Every Detail Is a Material Decision.
Grain, texture, weight and finish are decided together, so the material and the design work as one.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Choosing the Right Material.
Material selection is considered alongside the furniture's intended use, design, environment, production requirements and budget.
Application
Where will the furniture be used?
Performance
What level of durability and everyday use is required?
Design
What appearance, texture and character should the furniture have?
Production
Can the selected material and finish be manufactured consistently at the required scale?
MATERIAL / FINISH
Materials Work Together.
The final character of a furniture piece comes from how materials, finishes and details are combined. Wood, metal, stone, glass, upholstery and other materials can be developed together according to the design, function and requirements of each project.
Wood & Veneer
Natural grain, developed tones and refined surface finishes.
Painted & Lacquered
Custom colors and controlled levels of sheen for a refined surface.
Wood & Metal
Natural materials combined with structural and decorative metal details.
Stone & Glass
Hard surfaces that introduce contrast, weight and visual clarity.
Upholstery
Fabric, leather and faux leather developed with foam, stitching and structure.
Rattan & Natural Materials
Woven and natural materials that add texture and organic character.
Metal Finishes
Brushed, polished, coated and treated metal surfaces.
Hardware & Details
Handles, hinges, connectors and functional details that complete the design.
Material Combinations
Different materials brought together to create a cohesive furniture design.
CUSTOM DEVELOPMENT
Your Finish Doesn't Exist Yet?
For OEM, ODM and contract projects, material and finish requirements can be developed around the design. If you have a specific color, wood tone, surface treatment, fabric or material reference, our team can work with the available specifications and samples to develop a suitable production solution.
