Wood
The use of quality wood is crucial for the Finn Juhl collection. When properly sourced and selected, the natural material contains unique qualities which ensures gracefulness and durability for generations. With distinctive and natural structures, the material creates life and movement, making it the ideal choice for organically shaped furniture like Finn Juhl's.
It is important to be aware that no two trees are alike and the living material is continually changing. The colour and the texture will change in appearance over time as it becomes affected by the environment in which it is placed. In order to maintain the look, we advise you to read our maintenance and care guide.
Please note that the images shown are for guidance only. There will be colour and texture differences from the images shown to the furniture delivered.

Oak | Clear Oil
When treated with clear oil the tone of the oak is kept light, meaning that the wood’s original colour is maintained for longer and premature darkening is prevented. The oil also protects the surface of the wood and makes it more resistant to water and stains while leaving the structure visible and touchable. The oil is absorbed into the wood, creating a smooth surface with a silky touch.
Oak | Dark Oil
The dark oil treatment enhances the grain structure of the oak and provides it with a warm and darker tone. The dark oil is a natural oil based on virgin linseed oil. The oil protects the surface and makes it more resistant to water and stains while leaving the structure visible and touchable. The oil is absorbed into the wood, creating a smooth surface with a soft and natural feel to it.
Oak | Smoked
Smoked oak is an old way of treating oak. The dark brown colour comes when the natural content of tannic acid in the oak reacts with ammoniac. The colour can vary depending on the content of acid but is typically in an elegant matte dark brown. Finally, the smoked oak is treated with a dark oil. The oil is absorbed into the wood and creates a smooth surface with a silky touch. The oil protects the surface of the wood and makes it more resistant to water and stains.
Oak | Black Painted
A black paint is applied to the oak. The treatment protects the surface and makes it resistant to water and stains while leaving the grain structure visible.
