Acacia wood, widely found across the Philippines, is valued for its strength and natural beauty. This hardwood features a rich variation of tones, ranging from warm to lighter hues, giving each piece a unique character.

It is also a sustainable choice. Acacia trees grow quickly—reaching maturity in around sixteen years—and are replanted after harvesting. The cultivation, harvesting, and trade of the wood are carefully regulated and certified by the government to ensure responsible practices.

Durable, distinctive, and sustainably sourced, acacia is an excellent material for timeless design.

All wooden table accessories are finished with a food-safe varnish + natural dye. The products can be hand washed in lukewarm soapy water, but they are not dishwasher safe.

Do not let them soak in water. If the varnish is worn off, we recommend wiping the product with a cloth dipped in some walnut or salad oil.

To prevent dehydration never expose the wood to direct sunlight or store near heating units. This can cause warping or breakage of the wood.
