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.

01

Appearance

Color, grain, texture and finish shape the visual character of the furniture.

02

Performance

Materials are selected according to how and where the furniture will be used.

03

Consistency

Materials and finishes are coordinated across collections and complete projects.

WOOD & SOLID WOOD
