Our bedframes are essentially build in solid, plain natural wood. Since your spending 1/3 of your liftime in bed, you avoid therefore any exposure to chemical substances like used in any kind of fiberboards (glues, laquers, flame retardants, etc.) Also it makes this furniture very long lasting, actually even totally refurnishable after decades.Since they have oiled/waxed finish, and are not painted or laquered. This finish truly reflects the beauty of the veines and textures, and with aging comes a nice natural patina. Again by oiling or waxing you avoid the possible toxicity of any laquer. Our furniture is produced with local woods of certified origin, and assures therefore an excellent sustainalbility. (Only walnut and cherry wood come from specific plantations that might be outside Europe.) Another advantage is, that generally this type of bed base can be kept completely dust free and assures best evacuation of damp or humidity that is absorbed by the matress during the night.
Based on our experience it would be an error to publish our designs on internet, a platform that gives always advantage to the cheapest, international mass production, that surely will never respects intellectual property.
Nowadays people seek professional information, soon provided by small qualified traditional business, and then turn to the cheapest sold product they find on internet, that has been produced in a low cost production country. The big market players gain their price advantage by harvesting trees in a non durable way, they push delocalized industrial mass production, and destroying therefore local craftmanship that existed during centuries in our countries. Even the obligatory drying and aging of wood before it is used for furniture has been “accelerated” by drying in ovens. This again for economic reasons, but it is fatal to the quality of the final product: cracks will appear in furniture.
As reported on ARTE tv, in the recent years, for instance, centennial trees were cut illegally down in Rumania, for nothing more then their usage as raw material for fiberboards! Valuable wood that growed during hundreds of years is shredded to cellulose fiber. This is a real crime! Wood should be respected and valued as a natural material as it is. Fiberboards should be produced only with recycled, secondary wood materials (sawdust etc.) But the high demand for cheap fiberboards -and cheap furniture- somehow inverted, or – I would even say “perverted” our use of trees. Be aware that the choice for natural solid wood therefore promotes also traditional local workmanship, that is going totally lost in our time. Wooden furniture that you buy should reflect your respect of the values of our trees. Don’t buy (“consume”) furniture that you will have to throw away in 5 years.
If you visit our store you will get plenty, plenty of usefull information that will make sens to you. But, we hope that you unterstand by now, we do not share this knowledge “internationally” on internet. This is not a tricky “lack of transparency” but a matter of survival for our small company and our local suppliers.
