The Vintage Mango collection is made from a special type of hardwood mango tree (India). This type of wood is truly sustainable, as it is often a byproduct of an already thriving industry: mango cultivation. Mango trees grow on a large scale in India and the wood matures quickly: in 15 years instead of, for example, oaks (50–100 years).
Fruit production is good in the early stages of the tree's life. As it matures, production decreases. Therefore, this tree is economically less valuable on mango plantations. The solution is often: cutting down and replanting. However, the wood can be used to create beautiful pieces of furniture and accessories, thanks to its hardness and quality it offers. Thus, the forest is not just cut down.
The base of mango wood has a pleasant warm color in multiple color variations, so you may encounter the wood with subtle color deviations. It is robust, strong, and truly unique.
Mango wood is sanded and coated with a protective finish against water stains. The surface treatment is done to preserve the wood's most original form and natural appearance. Iron joints are powder-coated in a metallic color.
Maintenance: Regularly wipe with a slightly damp or dry dust cloth (preferably seamless, without a rough surface). Avoid all polishes or cleaning agents containing silicone or ammonia, which dry out natural wood. Wax the wood preferably with natural wax - it will treat the wood, give it a natural shine, and protect it from drying out. Mineral oils can be applied with a cloth.
