A Scandinavian Midcentury Masterpiece
Scandinavian styling with inspiration drawn from mid-century design, the Rotterdam Oak collection will look gorgeous in your home for years to come. With top quality hardware, soft closing drawers, subtle wooden handles and sculpted edges this collection has a timeless elegance.
The Timber
Wood displays different grain patterns depending on which way they are cut – for example, the ‘medullary ray’ which can appear on oak furniture is a mark of good quality timber, these are just characteristics of the natural beauty of the wood. Wood veneers also allow distinctive patterns to be created on some surfaces, such as table tops and drawer fronts by the way slivers are arranged. All timber and veneer surfaces will change colour and mellow over time. New furniture will initially vary in shade from items that have been previously purchased.
Care
Dust with a clean, damp, lint free cloth
Frequent dusting will remove abrasive build up, which can damage the finish over time
Do not use a very wet cloth or allow liquid to contact with the veneers for a long period of time as this can permanently damage the surface. Wipe up spills immediately
Do not use any abrasive cleaner or harsh detergent as this can damage the surface of the furniture
Spray polishes are best avoided as they contain silicones which may spoil the furniture’s surface when building up over time
Make sure all surfaces are protected from heat and liquids by mats and coasters
Ensure that a mat or pad is placed under paper when you are writing on the furniture surface
Do not place rubber or plastic materials on the wood finish as chemicals which may react with the finish if left in contact for an extended period of time
Our furniture will endure most temperatures in the home but it is best to avoid placing furniture next to heat sources such as radiators or fires. Be particularly careful with solid wood as the lack of humidity caused by home heating can cause damage such as warping, cracking or splitting
Excessive exposure to sunlight can cause fading of your furniture
