Material Care Guide Lookup

Natural materials live and breathe. Learn exactly how to maintain them so they age gracefully over decades.

Oiled Solid Wood

Unlike lacquered wood, oiled wood remains breathable and can be easily repaired.

  • Daily: Wipe with a dry or slightly damp lint-free cloth.
  • Monthly: Clean with specific wood soap to nourish the grain.
  • Yearly: Lightly sand with fine paper and reapply furniture oil.

Natural Wool

Wool is naturally dirt-resistant due to its lanolin content.

  • Weekly: Vacuum on low suction.
  • Spills: Blot immediately, never rub. Wool sheds water naturally if caught fast.

Aniline Leather

The purest form of leather. It will develop a patina and show scratches—this is intentional.

  • Avoid: Direct sunlight to prevent severe fading.
  • Yearly: Treat with a high-quality leather cream to prevent drying.

Linen Upholstery

Durable but prone to wrinkling, giving it a relaxed, lived-in look.

  • Care: Professional dry clean recommended for slipcovers to prevent shrinkage.
