CONSIDERATIONS
- The craft of moulding or bending timber is a specialised skill whereby multiple veneer layers are glued together through heat and pressure in a mould.
- Each PROPPR stool is pressed one at a time; akin to being handmade.
- As timber is a natural resource, each PROPPR is slightly different in character and colour with cosmetic inconsistencies such as grain pattern, knots, mineral oxidation streaks, scars and growth rings.
- The colour may also ‘mellow’, becoming deeper and richer, over time.
- These natural timber characteristics will not affect the functionality of your PROPPR ® and may even add to its character and uniqueness.
