Product care guide
wood
Mango wood
Mango wood is one of the most durable woods. The wood is subject to natural movements that cause its colour to vary and create knots and other imperfections, making it unique. Light in colour, the wood may have orange-yellow or brown streaks.
Precautions
Do not place hot objects on wooden surfaces as this may leave an indelible mark.
Care
Easy to maintain, mango wood only requires regular dusting to preserve its surface.
Acacia wood
Acacia is a very resistant wood (comparable to exotic woods) and is known for its longevity. Acacia has an irregular grain and a light colour. In sunlight, it changes colour and becomes darker.
Precautions
Do not place hot objects on acacia wood surfaces as this may leave an indelible mark. Use trivets.
Care
On a daily basis, clean your acacia furniture with a dry, soft cloth. If there is a stain, a little soap and water will be enough.
textiles
Cotton
The cotton we use is OEKO-TEX certified. This way, we can guarantee that our fabrics are free of harmful substances. Cotton is a soft, pleasant-feeling and highly absorbent material, ideal for bath linen.
Precautions
Air and shake out your cotton textiles to limit dust accumulation.
Care
Cotton is very resistant, so you can wash it at 40° and even 60°C for very dirty fabrics. It is best to air-dry it. For bath towels, you can put them in the dryer from time to time to maintain their fleecy softness. Lastly, cotton should be ironed with a medium hot iron and on the reverse to avoid altering the colour.
Leather
Leather is a material that's been used by man since the dawn of time. Today we use it to add a warm decorative touch to our home interiors. Over time, leather naturally develops a patina and becomes more supple, making each product unique.
Precautions
To preserve leather and its colour, do not expose it to the sun. It is not advisable to apply polish to leather furniture and decorative objects, as this can cause cracking, or use abrasive objects for cleaning.
Care
To help leather age in the best possible way, it should be regularly nourished with a suitable cream and a soft cotton pad. Use circular motions over the entire surface and allow to dry, then wipe off any surplus with a soft cotton pad.
Hessian
Hessian is a natural botanical material. It comes from jute, an exotic plant grown mainly in Asia. The plant produces a silky and resistant material.
Precautions
To maintain the beauty of your mat, put it in a dry place away from humidity.
Care
Vacuum your hessian mats regularly to avoid dust accumulation. If you stain it, rub it with the soft side of a sponge, some Marseille soap and cold water. Then wipe gently with a dry cloth.
Velvet
Velvet is a material used mainly for chairs, armchairs and cushions. It is a soft, pleasant-feeling material that adds a touch of character to your interior.
Precautions
Velvet is a fragile material that needs attention. Be sure to keep your velvet objects away from humidity and heat, which may damage them and alter their colours.
Care
Brush your velvet furniture regularly with a soft textile brush to remove dust and restore the colour of the fabric.
Polyester
Polyester is a synthetic fabric often used for textiles and upholstery. It is a resistant, wrinkle-free and low-maintenance material.
Precautions
From time to time, a thread may stick out; do not pull on it and cut the thread flush with scissors.
Care
For washable polyester fabrics, you can machine-wash them at 40°C maximum to preserve their appearance and colour. For non-washable items, if there is a stain, rub gently with a slightly damp sponge and soap.
Pre-washed linen
Linen is an ultra trendy fabric with much charm and many advantages: its breathability, thermoregulation and anti-allergy properties.
Pre-washed linen is hard-wearing and easy to maintain.
Our range of pre-washed linen is labelled European Flax®, illustrating the special care we take in choosing the fibres we use.
Precautions
Pre-washed linen is very resistant, but needs to be looked after all the same.
Linen softens over time, with washing!
Care
We advise that you wash your bed linen as pre-washed linen at 40°C maximum. Your linen will be softer and less creased if you dry it outside rather than in a tumble drier. And it does not need to be ironed.
synthetic materials
Moulded plastic

glass
Tempered glass
Tempered glass is more resistant than regular glass. It is also safer, as it breaks into small pieces without sharp edges if broken.
It is called tempered glass as it is glass that has been treated with cooling processes known as tempering, which give it its resistance.
Precautions
Avoid placing hot objects on tempered glass surfaces to avoid weakening them.
Care
To remove dust and keep the glass shiny, clean it with a damp cloth and then wipe it with a dry cloth.
Recycled glass
Glass is a hard material when cooled and a very malleable material when melted, so it can be given all kinds of shapes.
It is also a material that can be recycled endlessly. It can be recast and reworked again and again.

Glass is a very fragile material. Handle with care and caution.
Care
Dust your glass objects with a damp cloth and then wipe them with a dry cloth to avoid leaving marks.

Care
Clean the surface with a mixture of warm water and lemon using a well wrung-out soft sponge and then wipe with a dry cloth.
