A perfect combination of the organic feel of wood with a minimalistic modern style.
Leather is a product of nature imbued with its own history and life, resulting in distinct and individual characteristics. Each piece will inevitably show unique, diverse signs of history and life.
Each skin will present both individual and natural characteristics, including different structures and discrepancies in colour. Scars, scratches, bites or rough spots aren't flaws, but a sign that your leather is natural and organic, therefore such markings are not considered faults but rather inherent features that showcase the organic nature of leather. We celebrate these unique qualities as they contribute to the authenticity of each piece.
Sungkai is a beautiful light-coloured soft wood that features an attractive grain. Sungkai wood furniture is not recommended for use in full outdoor spaces, high moisture areas or spaces with direct sunlight exposure for extended periods. For longevity, protect Sungkai wood furniture from being exposed to the elements and avoid direct contact with the ground (e.g. garden furniture use).
Do not expose Sungkai wood surfaces to liquids and wipe with a damp cloth to clean dust and surface grime. To prevent yellowing, protect and preserve the matte texture of Sungkai furniture, applying a wax rather than varnish can assist. Many of our sungkai pieces are treated with a reclaimed age finish to add a subtle grey grained texture to the design.
