Solid Wood

Solid wood is a term most commonly used to distinguish between ordinary lumber and engineered wood, like plywood, MDF, and particle board.

It is strong, durable, and comes in different species and grades. It is important to consider the unique properties of solid wood when choosing a furniture piece.

Solid timber is ideal for high-impact areas such as tables. It is durable and can be sanded back if damaged or scratched to restore it.

Wood is a natural, living material that responds to its environment. It can be affected by light, temperature, humidity, and wear.

FSC® Certified

We prioritise the use of timber certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®)

Citta - US

In recent times, we have made the shift to using FSC®-certified wood across many of our furniture pieces. The Forest Stewardship Council (or FSC®) is an international, non-profit organisation that sets standards to ensure forestry is practised in an environmentally responsible and socially beneficial way.

FSC® helps to protect forests from deforestation and therefore the animals and ecosystems within. By using FSC®-certified material, we know the wood in our furniture comes from well-managed forests and originates from sustainable and legal sources. It also ensures the people who work within the entire supply chain are treated fairly and ethically.

Discover the Difference: Veneer & Solid Wood

Both types of materials and production techniques have been used for centuries. A common misconception is solid wood furniture is of better quality than veneered pieces.

Each material has its advantages and disadvantages—in terms of practicality, functionality, and longevity, as well as appearance. Several factors are considered when choosing to use solid or veneer wood such as how the piece of furniture has been designed and its intended use. Often, a combination of materials works best.
