Our Furniture

Our pieces of furniture are solidly crafted mostly from pinewood, but linden, oak, beech or wallnut can also be used upon request and they are exquisitely hand painted with the traditional ornaments characteristic to the Saxon population of Transylvania.

Backgrouds colors, consisting of water-soluble paint are also hand painted and are sanded back to reveal the grain, the knots and nuances of the wood.The decorated surfaces are protected with several layers of oil-glaze and water-soluble or wax-oil based varnish.

One of our major concerns during the painting process is to keep the furnitire as environment-friendly as possible.

We take care that our painted furniture should carry harmonious patterns that refresh the eye and relax the soul of those who contemplate it.

The main pattern you'll find almost anywhere on our pieces is "the tree of life" a metaphor often related to fertility and immortality first discovered in Persia 8000 years ago. In Transylvania, our traditional tree of life brings together multicoloured flowers each of them with it's symbol : roses - passion (fervent love), lily of the valley - gentleness (grace), tulips - pride, carnations, pomegranates, flower buds meaning virginity and wide open flowers meaning maturity, falling pollen and seeds meaning regenesis.

The story must go on!
