Materials & finishes

Wood is a natural material. Its color, grain and pattern vary with species, climate, soil and the tree's growth. Conde House treats live and leaf knots, mineral streaks, tiger stripe, branch knots and fiddleback figure as individual character rather than defects.

Direct sunlight and heater air can change color or cause small splinters. Solid wood continues to move after production and can sometimes warp or crack, but dents, burns and surface damage can often be repaired.

Conde House uses genuine natural leather. Healed scars, pinholes, vein marks, natural wrinkles, scuff marks and variations in grain remain visible as evidence of the animal's life and of an authentic material.

Full-grain collections include RK, MG, KP, BQ and GR; EN and MR are corrected-grain leather. Pigment and aniline treatments are balanced to retain texture while improving concealment and maintainability.

A durable, workable ring-porous wood with distinct annual rings, brown heartwood and pale yellow-white sapwood. Its straight, uniform grain has made it a core Conde House material since 2015.

A strong, water-resistant ring-porous hardwood with pronounced grain, gray-brown heartwood and characteristic ray flecks. Local Hokkaido oak has been central to the collection since 2014.

A large deciduous hardwood with clear annual rings and a quiet, individual color palette. Introduced in 2024, its soft grain adds gentle visual character to furniture.

A light, soft Hokkaido hardwood with a bright color, distinct annual rings and a glossy, contrasting grain. Adopted in 2024, particularly for expressive solid-wood table tops.

A refined hardwood with reddish-brown heartwood, pale-yellow sapwood, luster and excellent workability. Its slender dimensions and color develop a richer character with age.

Wood furniture. Keep surfaces dry. Wipe gently with a dry cloth, or use a firmly wrung damp cloth followed immediately by a dry one. Do not use benzene, alcohol, thinner or other volatile liquids.

Fabric. Vacuum surface dust gently. For stains, dab with a firmly wrung cloth and neutral detergent, follow with a clean damp cloth, then a dry cloth.

Leather. Wipe with a dry cloth without rubbing hard. Do not use an oil cloth. Vacuum regularly with a soft brush.

Cushions. Pat softly and pull back into shape to reduce wrinkles and loss of form.

Place furniture level, use fitted adjusters and protect every natural material from direct sunlight, heat and extreme dryness.
