Material detail of the Mantle Shelf: solid oak

On the material

Oak, stone and wool, left to age.

Our oak comes from two forests in the Ardennes, felled in winter and air-dried for three years before anyone is allowed to cut it. Stone comes from a quarry near Soignies. Wool is spun in Belgium and left undyed.

Every surface is finished by hand with oil and wax. It will mark, and it is meant to.
