Why oak and ash

The frame of No. 01 is made of solid oak and ash. Both woods are hard and durable, and both have a strong grain. That is exactly what we wanted to see, which is why there is no veneer and no opaque paint.

The planks are finger jointed. Shorter pieces of wood are joined into long planks through interlocking fingers. This uses the wood sparingly and is considered dimensionally stable. The solid wood we use is FSC certified, and every plank is selected individually.

The colour comes from a water based stain in matt black, applied twice and followed by a protective lacquer. The stain dyes the wood and leaves the grain visible. That is why every bed looks a little different.
