Much like your fingerprint, every tree showcases a unique grain pattern, rendering our solid wood products truly one-of-a-kind.

This inherent uniqueness is a direct reflection of the natural characteristics of wood. We consciously choose to highlight, not hide, this distinctiveness, embracing the authentic and individual charm of each piece of wood.

Knots in wood, the natural markers where branches once grew, are an inherent part of its character. While we carefully remove larger, unhealthy knots, eliminating all of them would significantly reduce yield and lead to excessive material use. By embracing these natural features, we not only honor the wood's authentic beauty but also uphold our commitment to sustainability.

Oak, a hardwood of the genus Quercus, is a natural treasure found across Europe, North America, and Asia. At Gazzda, we take pride in our commitment to sustainable practices. Our oak primarily hails from the lush forests of Bosnia and Croatia, where 'Quercus robur,' known locally as 'Luznjak,' and 'Quercus petraea,' referred to as 'Kitnjak,' flourish. These regional varieties not only contribute to the distinctive character of our furniture but also align with our dedication to responsible forestry.

Sourced from responsibly managed forests, our oak is a testament to our commitment to environmental stewardship.

We believe in the importance of preserving the integrity of our natural resources, ensuring that each piece of furniture crafted is not only timeless in design but also sustainably sourced, leaving a positive impact on the environment and the communities we serve.

To maintain the beauty of your wood surface, gently wipe it daily with a clean, dry cotton cloth. For more thorough cleaning, a damp cloth may be used, but ensure you promptly dry the surface to prevent moisture damage, which can lead to drying out or cracking of the wood.

For minor stains, employ a natural, wood-appropriate soap cleaning agent, followed by immediate drying of the surface.

Avoid using harsh chemicals on oiled wood surfaces, as they can hasten the drying and deterioration process.

Should any surfaces appear dry, please refer to our detailed 'maintenance' guidelines for proper care and restoration techniques.

Over time, oiled wood will dry out and stains will appear due to use. These stains can easily be removed by re-oiling the surface.

For detailed instructions please follow our guide.

Owning a solid wood product comes with the reassurance of durability and repairability. Almost any damage, from dents to breaks, can be effectively restored. Solid wood’s resilience makes it a favorite for woodworkers to either repair or repurpose.

Our detailed repair guide empowers you to mend your oiled wood products easily at home. For lacquered items, although repairable, professional assistance is recommended for reapplying the finish.

Beyond physical damages, wood can also crack due to placement in unsuitable conditions. Fortunately, these too can be repaired following the same guidelines.

Moreover, the natural aging process of solid wood leads to the development of a beautiful patina. While many appreciate this evolving character, you have the option to rejuvenate your piece. A simple sanding and a fresh oil coat can restore its original look. We believe that this ability to renew and maintain, thereby extending its life across generations, is a key aspect of sustainability.
