Kalon Studios Trunk Bench - 142-S

The piece is cut from a solid block of freshly cut domestic ash or maple. The surface splits as it ages and dries, giving each piece a unique look. Ring and heartwood details have been preserved and featured on the seat. Like much of Kalon Studios’ work, Stump explores the playful relationship between the inherent variations of natural materials and the precision of contemporary form. All the lumber used is sustainably harvested. No finish has been applied to best allow the piece to develop a natural patina as it ages. These materials were thoughtfully selected to offer a piece with no toxins and no off-gassing, for the environment, the craftspeople and you.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Cleaning: Dust with a soft, dry cloth to preserve the natural wood finish. Avoid using water or cleaning agents on raw wood surfaces. 

• Oiling: Periodically apply a natural wood oil or wax finish to maintain the wood's luster and protect it from drying out. Kalon recommends AFM Safecoat Naturals Oil Wax Finish.

• Handling Moisture: If the bench becomes wet, gently blot with a dry cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before use.

• Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause the wood to fade. Position the bench away from direct sunlight to maintain its appearance.

• Storage: If not in use for extended periods, store the bench in a cool, dry place to prevent warping or cracking.
