Sempre’s products are handmade with old and new oak wood and reclaimed teak sourced from old houses, bridges, boats, railway sleepers,… which can easily be 80 years old before used in our furniture. Purchasing a wooden piece means accepting a crack or gap here and there, an irregular surface or wood structure, and the fact that the material lives. As a natural result of external influences, each piece will age differently and develop its unique character over time. When left outdoors, the wood will develop a grey patina.
