Metta Highboard

Product Details

This piece of furniture has characteristic knots and splits to give a rustic appearance and is made of primarily oak and oak veneer using traditional methods.

Oak is an exceptionally durable hardwood that has been valued in interior design for Centuries.  Its beautiful fine grain and varying colour shades give the wood a highly authentic, natural appearance. Very rustic oak veneer with some knots and cracks in a dark accent colour and handcrafted metal parts with a dark finish. Oak grows mainly in Northern and Eastern Europe, where it is harvested from sustainably managed forests under the strict supervision of the forestry commissions. This appearance/shade results from the varying concentration of the sap fluids. An oakwood veneer is used in combination with blockboard, and plywood lacquered parts that are both weight saving and environmentally friendly and ensure robust construction. Blockboard is a solid plate material made up of small strips of wood specially glued together. Plywood is a robust pressed plate material/hardboard glued together with fine wood fibres. Both are covered with veneer for that unique look(structure) and, at the same time, make optimum use of the trees to cause as minor environmental damage as possible. A colour treatment was applied to the furniture, the so-called “smoking” of the wood, using the natural wood fluid in combination with high temperatures. The colour mix is unique and will vary from piece to piece within this furniture range.
