When it comes to choosing furniture for a new fit out, the mind can feel somewhat overcome with the endless options available. There’s durability, functionality, comfort, aesthetics to think about, and that’s just a starting point. Then there’s material, colours, volumes and costs…it just keeps on going!

Any new office fit out, residential build, renovation or building development has to consider furniture choices carefully.

We’ve outlined a few reasons why handmade wood furniture is the best choice for meeting each and every one of your long-term requirements.  

Luxury aesthetics

Wood furniture is firmly at the top of the list when it comes to elegant, luxury aesthetics. Generally speaking, it is made using high-quality materials and by skilled craftsmen that have honed their skills over a number of years. (Tür Offen’s craftsmen use traditional hand tools for all the artistic touches!)

The time and effort that goes into these products ensures that there are no faults or imperfections, ultimately reflecting complete exclusivity and beauty.  

Durability

It’s all well and good buying hundreds of cheap plastic chairs that have been manufactured in a factory in China, but with regular use and high footfalls, they won’t come with the promise of longevity. They’re also going to look pretty cheap, and it certainly doesn’t paint a particularly good picture of your brand to customers, clients and employees.

Wood is the strongest building material on the planet. With it being extremely hard-wearing and resilient, it can handle the inevitable knocks and bangs it’ll receive over time. That means that when you invest in a piece of wood furniture, you’re making a long-term investment that won’t need replacing for years to come.

Whether you’re choosing seating, cabinets or tables, you’re guaranteeing yourself hard-wearing, functional furniture that won’t let you down.

Sustainability

Every business and organisation are fighting their way towards greater sustainability and doing all they can to help the environment.

Wood is excellent from a sustainability perspective! Every stage of the production process enables wood to be reused and repurposed which means zero waste and an ideal material for supporting a circular economy. Wood products are also healthy for the environment and prevent climate change.

In terms of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) (a technique used to assess the environmental impacts of a product over its lifetime),wood consistently comes out on top as the most sustainable and eco-friendly material.

Health boosting

Did you know that wooden products increase oxygen levels in the same way that plants do? Breathing in that fresh oxygenated air indoors keeps everyone more alert and is proven to improve wellbeing and reduce stress levels.

By implementing wooden furniture pieces, you’re offering a piece of nature that has significant health and wellbeing benefits.

Bespoke

Everyone wants to stand out, and its hard to do that when you’re buying off-the-shelf furniture products. You’re also vastly limited with creativity!

Bespoke handmade wood furniture can be uniquely crafted to suit your specific needs, and each piece offers character, charm and history. Compare this to a piece of factory furniture where you’ll receive a mass-produced item that is one of many!

Handmade furniture is personal, and no two pieces will be identical. Additionally, if you want your craftsman to add extra detail that’s specific to your requirements, you’ll truly receive a one-of-a-kind, bespoke piece of furniture.
