Frame / Metal

Aluminium

In addition to being expressive and ecological, aluminium is also a unique metal in terms of technical qualities. Three times lighter than steel, it offers stability over time, resistance to the weathering and easy maintenance. Moreover, it is recyclable and can be reused an infinite number of times without the slightest alteration of its technical and mechanical properties. The aluminium of the collection has been processed using a specific anti-saline pretreatment, which inhibits the natural oxidation process. The subsequent powder-coating process increases resistance to corrosion while also protecting the metal against scratches and chipping.

Teak Maintenance

Frame / Wood

Teak

Teak (Tectona grandis) is one of the most precious tropical woods, having exceptional characteristics of hardness, ductility and resistance to the weathering, moisture and salt. Its uniqueness comes from an oily resin which naturally improves its impermeability and resistance, even to insects and parasites. The natural teak used in our furniture originates from natural forests in Mexico.

Tzalam

Frame / Wood

Tzalam

Tzalam wood is a particularly hardy species from the forests of Mexico and is naturally protected against water and humidity. Unlike teak, Tzalam does not lose its color as teak does. A very important thing about the Tzalam tree is that during its growth process, it sheds seeds which grow into more trees. For this reason, Tzalam is considered a sustainable wood. It has remarkable mechanical properties, such as its special resistance to bending. The Tzalam used in our furniture is a kiln-dried solid wood, which not only increases its compactness, but also enhances its grain or color shades.

Parota

Frame / Wood

Parota

Parota wood is commonly known as Guanacaste and scientifically known as Enterolobium Cyclocarpum. The parota tree grows primarily in Mexico and Central America and is commonly used in wooden furniture design and projects for its large dimensions, neutral golden-brown coloring, distinct grain patterns and affordable cost.
In particular, Parota wood is used to create unique furniture pieces. The heartwood is streaked with honey, reddish and dark brown colors alongside clearly distinct, creamy sapwood
Parota is particularly desired for its bold, striking wood grain, which resembles Acacia wood in appearance but with more texture and consistent color. It also has a natural luster, which is naturally highlighted with oils. This allows to protect the wood and bring out its intricate grains in a much less damaging way than glossy varnishes.
Parota is a fast-growing tree that can reach enormous heights and widths in an incredibly short time. This makes the Guanacaste tree the ideal role model for sustainable and environmentally responsible wood furniture.

cumaru

Cumaru

Cumaru is known for its exceptional hardness and durability; colors ranging from light tan to a reddish brown – sometimes with black stripes. This is a sustainable alternative for Burmese teak, with the added benefit of being more than three times as hard. Cumaru is a nautical wood widely recommended for outdoor use due to its great durability, this is why it is used for the manufacture of outdoor furniture and deck flooring, it is also used in the construction of boat decks and docks.

They are resistant to mildew. However, mildew can grow on dirt and other foreign elements, so Sunbrella fabrics can be cleaned quickly and easily with a simple bleach solution.

Outdura

The quality of the fiber used to make a fabric is crucial in terms of fading resistance. Outdura fabrics are made from 100% solution-dyed branded acrylic. This means that the color pigments go all the way into the fiber, not just on the surface of the fiber. This gives the fabrics a superior color fastness and makes the colors shine for a longer period of time. Outdura fabrics resist fading and remain colorfast after sun and weather exposure exceding 1,500 testing hours.
