Wood Furniture Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has associated a sense of sheltering comfort and hominess with wood. Solid wood possesses the untamed, rugged dignity of a material that does not allow itself to be domesticated, for it could split or splinter anytime and anywhere, but that aspect of unpredictability inherent to nature and natural materials has once more become a much sought-after feature.
