Solid oak
The Solid Oak category includes furniture made from a dense, durable wood suitable for structural use. Solid oak has a clean, sometimes knotty grain and a natural color ranging from light beige to medium brown. It is used for tops, bases, frames and fronts. Its mechanical strength allows visible joints and clean cuts, without compromising stability. Solid oak visually anchors volumes in space while providing a clear reading of materials. read more >

Solid oak properties and furniture uses
Solid oak is a high-density European wood, valued for its durability, long life and ability to withstand heavy loads. It is often used in structural furniture parts: tops, legs, frames or crosspieces. Unlike reconstituted or veneered wood, solid oak retains its integrity even under daily stress. It resists bending, shocks and small impacts, making it a functional choice for tables, benches or storage furniture exposed to repeated use.
Visual reading, grain and shades of solid oak
Solid oak is distinguished by visible, sometimes irregular grain, and marked rings depending on the cut of the wood. Its natural color ranges from pale blond to medium brown, with variations linked to oxidation, finishing or light exposure. It can be used untreated, brushed, oiled or lightly tinted, while retaining a clear reading of the material. This wood blends into sober, contrasting or graphic compositions, where its mass and texture play an active visual role. Solid oak establishes a stable presence in space, whether as a stand-alone piece of furniture or as part of a coherent ensemble.
Durability, maintenance and balance of arrangement
Solid oak furniture is designed to last, provided you avoid areas of high humidity or prolonged exposure to direct heat. We recommend the use of glides to protect contact surfaces and limit significant thermal variations. Routine maintenance is limited to gentle dusting and the occasional use of a suitable wood finishing product (oil or wax). This type of furniture is ideal for interiors seeking a strong visual base and assertive materiality, without excess weight or superfluous decorative effects. It can be combined with lighter materials to balance volumes: glass, textile or matte metal.
The *Solid Oak* category offers pieces where wood is not just a support, but an active element in the spatial composition, through its material, shade and visual weight.
