Origin and character of the wood
Maple comprises a large number of species of the genus Acer, which are widespread in Europe, North America and Asia. The wood is known for its light, almost whitish color and uniform structure. These characteristics make it a sought-after material for interior fittings and furnitureas it conveys visual calm and elegance.
A native, versatile wood
Maple is characterized by good workability and a fine-pored surface that is easy to polish. It is a medium-weight wood, but only has a low natural durability.
Aesthetics and care requirements
The fine grain and light color make maple a popular wood for high-quality furniture, parquet and instrument making. At the same time, it is sensitive to moisture and tends to discolor, which is why careful care and surface treatment are crucial to preserving its light appearance.
