MATERIALS
wood
Wood is one of the longest standing building materials in existence. Produced by many botanical species, it’s available in various colors and grain patterns.
In our production we use wood such as plywood, MDF, teak, oak and cumaru.
Plywood – There are different kinds of plywood such as overlaid, hardwood, softwood, etc. It’s first application in furniture making dates back to the 1850s.
MDF (Medium-density fibreboard) – MDF is an engineered wood from the family of manufactured boards which includes plywood too.
Teak – Teak is type of tropical, deciduous tree that belongs to the mint family. It originates from South and South-East Asia. It tolerates various climate conditions and thrives in different habitats.
Oak – A mature oak tree stands about 30 meters. Oak wood is prized in furniture making as well as in flooring and cabinetry because of its durability, workability, and natural beauty.
Cumaru – Cumaru is also known as Brazilian Teak. It’s an excellent wood for high traffic flooring and decking, and for exterior application such as wood cladding where weather resistance is required.
STEEL
Iron is usually found in the Earth’s crust in the form of ore, usually iron oxide. Iron is extracted from iron ore by removing oxygen through its combination with a preferred chemical partner such as carbon which is then lost to the atmosphere as carbon dioxide. This process is also known as smelting. When iron is melted from its ore, it contains more carbon than is desirable. To become steel, it must be reprocessed to reduce the carbon to the correct amount, after which other elements can be added.
The earliest known production of steel is nearly 4,000 years old, dating from 1800 BC. As regards of the earliest production of high carbon steel in India we can talk about Wootz steel, produced in South India by about the sixth century BC and exported globally. The steel was exported as cakes of steely iron that came to be known as “Wootz“. Today, steel is one of the world’s most-recycled materials, with a recycling rate of over 60% globally. In the manufacture of furniture steel is used as part of the structure, but not infrequently as a decorative part.
ALUMINUM
Ever since aluminum first became commercially viable in the early 20th century, it has transformed every industry imaginable, from aerospace to communications. This includes furniture thanks to aluminum being economical, strong and aesthetically pleasing. Aluminum ability to be both strong and lightweight is a very desirable trait for furniture. Portability in home and office furnishings is a valuable asset. Aluminum is a silvery-white, lightweight metal. Above all, aluminum alloys have a modern sleek appearance, making it an excellent choice for furniture.
stainless steel
The invention of stainless steel followed a series of scientific developments, starting in 1798. These events led to the first American production of chromium-containing steel. In the late 1890s, German chemist developed an aluminothermic (thermite) process for producing carbon-free chromium. Between 1904 and 1911, several researchers prepared alloys that would be considered stainless steel today. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steels do not suffer uniform corrosion when exposed to wet environments. That is why they are suitable for making furniture, especially for outdoor use.
