Wood is the main component of more furniture. We’re still fascinated by its life, warmth and individuality. No two pieces are alike in their feel, structure or grain, and this makes each of our pieces of furniture unique.
more uses only slow grown solid wood from sustainable forests in Europe. Our longstanding partnerships and the trust we have in our sawmills – which guarantee the regional origin of our wood and the respect of strict forestry legislation – are more important for us than a cluster of certificates (e.g. FSC), which have been hea- vily criticised by Greenpeace and Robin Wood. Do contact us if you have questions on this.
Oak, walnut, ash or cherry. Careful drying is vital to the production of highquality, longlasting furniture. The timber used by more is airdried for two long years. When its humidity levels have dropped to 16%, it is moved to a special chamber with controlled air humidity, where the process is completed. Only when humidity levels fall to 8 - 12% is the wood ready for further processing.
The wood is then sanded laboriously, to produce particularly fine and long-lasting surfaces. If requested, these can be varnished. As a rule, however, we treat the wood with hard wax oil from natural raw materials. These oils produce a slight shine, emphasise the structure and protect the wood, without sealing it completely. The material can breathe, stays alive, retains its authentic character and, over the years, becomes more beautiful with use.
