ELZORVAN Wood — furniture with grandchildren in mind
Every house needs one chair that belongs to somebody; the Terrine is usually claimed within a week — pitched for books rather than naps (though it forgives them), with an ottoman cut from the same hide.
The joinery works in solid oak, walnut and ash, air-dried three years before the saw earns its say. Frames are mortise-and-tenon, tops are breadboard-ended against the seasons, and finishes are oil and wax — surfaces that mend with a cloth rather than fail with a scratch.

Care
Oiled oak and walnut want coasters' logic and seasonal oiling: wipe dry daily, feed with the house oil twice a year, and lift rather than drag. Heat and water leave marks that the cloth-and-oil ritual erases.
Waxed surfaces refresh with a soft cloth; scratches retire under a fingertip of wax. Real damage goes to the joinery, which planes, patches and returns the piece to its own colour.
Questions, Answered
Can I order a different finish?
Oil tones and wax colours are chosen at order from the house book; painted finishes are a commission with a stated lead time.
Is the furniture solid wood?
Solid oak, walnut and ash throughout — tops, frames and drawers; veneer appears only where marquetry asks for it and is stated when it does. The chalk under every piece names the joiner.
