BLACK AMERICAN WALNUT
Black American walnut is a slow growing deciduous tree native to north America and Canada. It is a hardwood prized for its dark brown, purplish hue with a sometimes swirling grain, it can display many unique characteristics, such as knots and variations in depth of tone. Walnut will get lighter with age becoming more honeyed over time. We use a protective lacquer finish which enables the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
COLOURED LACQUER
The exterior is sprayed with a satin Polyurethane lacquer which is far more durable than a standard paint. We have a choice of house lacquer colours, or the lacquer can be matched to a custom colour reference.
EUROPEAN OAK
European oak is a slow growing hardwood native tree to Europe. It has a golden to light brown colouring with a variety of grain patterns. Oak is very hard, durable wood and gets darker and richer with age. We use a protective white oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
European oak can display a variety of characteristics from straight grain to large swirling crown cut grain Medullary rays, small 'Cats paw' knots all of which are an intrinsic and natural part of the grain pattern.

DETAIL
INSPIRATION IN ART
A good few years ago, walking past a gallery in London, we were struck by a Ben Nicholson relief artwork that we spotted through the window. It was layered and engaging, yet it evoked a feeling of total stillness. This moment stuck with us and we went home with the goal of recreating its impact in a piece of furniture.
BRINGING LIFE TO AN IDEA
Taking inspiration from this artwork, we began building a layered card model, painted in a plaster paint that would become the cabinet's facade. The shape and size of each rectangle is carefully considered to have a balanced group of shapes that look random in their alignment.
They exist in four levels and are designed to not allow the same height panel to intersect with one another. The overall effect is a gentle yet engaging relief where the perceived simplicity belies the complexity involved to achieve a piece of this quality.
Our Alba series is made in Essex. These makers take a huge pride in what they make for us. In our work the human hand is present from the crafting of the original model, through to the final sand and carefully applied lacquer finish. The Alba series can be finished in any of our house lacquers - it lends well to Agi, a warm off-white with a slight hint of red that best reflects our initial plaster concept but the Alba design is versatile and takes well to a range of shades. If you can't find the colour for you amongst our house options we also offer a custom lacquer service so there is endless opportunity for the perfect match.
CARE GUIDE
COLOURED LACQUER/LACQUERED WOOD
A lacquered finish requires very little maintenance and is durable and resistant to spills.
DAY TO DAY CLEANING
Wipe clean with a damp cloth then buff off with a clean, dry cloth.
DO NOT
-Leave any wine, oil or liquids that might stain – wipe up as quickly as possible. -Use any abrasive cleaning products or bleach as this could damage the protective layer of lacquer.
OILED WOOD
An oiled finish is a durable natural looking finish that can be revitalised (and if necessary, more easily repaired). Oiled finishes require some low level maintenance to keep the wood protected and looking its best.
DAY TO DAY CLEANING
-Wipe clean with a damp non-abrasive cloth, then using a dry cloth remove any excess moisture. -Wipe up wine, oil and any liquids that might stain as quickly as possible. -To ensure the finish remains as resilient as possible to staining we recommend Osmo Wash & Care (8016) as it contains soaps and oils to both nourish and prevent the wood from drying out.
DO NOT
-Leave any water, wine, oil or liquids that might stain - wipe up as quickly as possible. (Oil provides a semi-permeable finish, which means some liquids can penetrate the surface if left). -Use ANY chemical cleaning products or bleach as this will remove the protective layer of oil and it will then stain.
6 MONTHLY REPLENISHMENT / MORE STUBBORN STAINS
As the table is used it can dry out as the oil can thin with wear and washing with even water. If the table looks dry or you have a more stubborn stain we recommend using a revitalising Osmo Liquid Wax Cleaner (white 3087) for oak pieces and (clear 3029) for walnut pieces.
