Description
The modern Bullnose dining table is made of mango wood. The shape of the table is
rectangular, with a cross base.
This table is available in 3 sizes: 180, 200 and 240 cms.
Mango wood:
This collection is made from a special type of hardwood: mango
wood from India. This type of wood is really sustainable because it’s a byproduct of an already
thriving industry: mango fruit. The trees grow on a large scale in India and they mature quickly:
in 15 years instead of for instance oaks (50-100 years).
The fruit production is good in the first period of the tree. As it grows older, fruit production
also decreases. That is why this tree is economically less valuable on the mango plantations.
The solution for mango farmers is then: cut down and replant.
Because of this way of working, the wood of the mango tree is really sustainable.
Forest is not just cut down. After his life as a food producer, the wood gets a second life as a
piece of furniture.
Features:
Wood is a natural product, which means that not all items will have
the same grain pattern, knots, and color. We finish all tables with a stain that determines the
color of the furniture. We aim for a consistent final result, which gives each piece of furniture
a robust and unique appearance.
Finish:
We sanded the mango wood, stained it, and
applied a sealer coating to protect it against water stains.
Maintenance:
-Wipe down periodically with a slightly damp or dry dust cloth that contains no heavy stitching, in order to avoid scratches.
-Avoid all cleaning tools with a rough surface.
-Avoid polish or cleaning products containing silicone, which can dry out natural wood over time.
-Do not use detergents or any cleaning products that contain ammonia.
-Rub wax into the wood to create a beautiful shine and a natural protective finish. It also prevents the wood from drying out.
-Mineral oil can be applied using a cloth. This will build up over time to produce a protective surface.
