    Material Characteristics

    Pine gets better with age. The colours mature to a deeper palette. The heartwood and sapwood age at different speeds and bring out the natural patterns of the grains. After a few years, pine will settle into a rich and complex honey tone
     
    Pine is a soft wood and will get dents and bruises over the years. But don’t think of them as blemishes or flaws. Embrace them. They’re evidence of life lived and furniture loved. Pine isn’t life-proof. It’s proof of life.
     
    All our products are locally made by select Finnish makers and specialists.
    Every pine tree is harvested from sustainably managed Finnish forests.
    The wood is hand-selected of the highest quality and each piece has its own unique colours and grain patterns.
