Sustainably managed forests, Germany & Poland
European oak with a clean, golden grain. Kiln-dried to 8% moisture, then finished with a UV-cured oil that protects without obscuring. Ages to a warmer tone over years of use.
Oil annually with our bespoke Aura wood oil. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight.
Sustainably managed forests, Germany & Poland
The same European oak, steam-treated to drive out natural sugars and push the grain dark. The process is entirely chemical-free — darkness from heat, not stain.
Oil annually with our bespoke Aura wood oil. Deep scratches can be sanded and re-oiled.
Natural stands, France & Italy
European walnut is one of the most structurally stable hardwoods available. The chocolate-brown heartwood contrasts naturally with the pale sapwood in every board.
Oil every 18 months. Walnut responds well to wax as a top coat in dry environments.
Carrara quarry, Tuscany, Italy
Bianco Carrara marble, honed to a matte satin finish. Each slab is unique and will develop a natural patina. Supplied with a 12-month penetrating sealer applied in-house.
Reseal annually. Wipe acids (wine, lemon) immediately. Never use abrasive cleaners.
Recycled brass billet, Birmingham, UK
Cast from high-grade recycled brass and hand-polished to a warm, living finish that will patina naturally over time. We intentionally do not lacquer our brass so it can age gracefully.
Allow to age naturally, or buff with a soft cloth and brass polish to restore shine.
Belgian linen mill, Kortrijk
A mid-weight Belgian linen with a natural slub texture and warm sand colouring. OEKO-TEX certified, woven on heritage shuttle looms. The texture improves with each wash.
Spot clean only. Steam to remove creasing. Dry clean covers annually.
Weave studio, Yorkshire, UK
A heavyweight boucle in natural cream, hand-loomed in Yorkshire. The looped texture is highly resilient and pill-resistant. Zero synthetic content.
Vacuum weekly with upholstery brush. Spot clean with damp cloth. Annual dry clean for covers.
Mill of Sant'Andrea, Prato, Italy
A cut velvet with a muted olive tone from the natural dyeing process. The pile is directional — arranged in opposing directions on curved seams for visual depth.
Brush pile in one direction with a soft brush. Steam to revive crushed pile. Avoid water.
Chromium-free tannery, Córdoba, Spain
Full-grain vegetable-tanned leather in a warm tobacco tan. Develops a rich patina unique to each piece. Sourced exclusively from Europeancattle — traceable to farm level.
Condition 2–3 times per year with a pure lanolin cream. Avoid direct heat and moisture.
Recycled steel mill, Sheffield, UK
Cold-rolled mild steel, powder-coated in matte graphite. Sheffield-made from 100% recycled steel. The matte finish is durable and non-glare.
Wipe with a damp cloth. Touch up chips with our Aura touch-up pen. Avoid abrasives.
