Our natural oak furniture is treated with a colourless natural oil wax product to preserve the innate beauty of the timber.

American oak is known for its distinctive grain, which can vary from straight to intricate patterns. It has a warm, golden hue that can range from light to medium brown. Oak is a highly durable hardwood, making it an excellent choice for furniture that needs to withstand everyday use and wear.

Walnut is known for its rich, dark brown colour with occasional lighter streaks. It often features a fine, straight grain, although it can also have waves or curls that add to its aesthetic appeal.

Iroko is known for its warm golden-brown to medium brown colour, which can deepen over time with exposure to light. It typically features a straight to slightly interlocked grain, sometimes showing subtle figuring that adds character and visual depth to the material.

Our iroko furniture is suitable for outdoor use. Over time, the colour and texture of the timber will naturally change due to sun exposure. To support its longevity and appearance, occasional treatment with a natural, non-pigmented product is advised.

A slightly more robust linen with a dimensional surface. This fabric feels more rugged under the hand compared with softly washed linen: the texture is expressive without being coarse.

Because it’s 100% linen, it still carries all the fibre’s strengths, but the pronounced texture makes it especially striking in upholstery where visual depth is the main focus.

This gently washed, soft-textured 100% linen has a relaxed character with a natural, matte finish.The washing process softens the fibres, giving the fabric a supple handle and an easy drape while keeping linen’s structure and breathability. The surface has a soft grain that adds depth rather than polish.

Comfortable against the skin, this type of linen works beautifully where a casual, understated feel is the goal, developing even more character over time.

This velvet is a high-end pile fabric made from mohair fibres, chosen for its natural sheen, softness, and impressive resilience. The pile has a smooth, dense feel rather than fluffy, giving it a refined, tailored look.

For upholstery use, mohair velvet is often blended with synthetic fibres to improve durability and performance. This added strength helps it better resist crushing, wear, and everyday use, while still keeping its sheen and texture.

A premium polyester velvet with a dense, plush pile and subtle sheen that gives colour real depth.

Durable and practical, it’s designed to handle everyday use on sofas, chairs, and cushions while still delivering a refined look.

When upholstering with leather, we prioritise full, natural grain hides, each carefully selected and approved by the designer. With proper care, leather develops a rich patina over time, reflecting its natural character.

All leather has inherent variations, and differences in grain may occur across hides or even within a single hide. The leathers used in our upholstery are treated to withstand regular, everyday use.

Kalahari Springs Granite is a natural stone known for its unique blend of colours and patterns. One of the most striking features of this granite is its intricate veining and patterns. The stone may exhibit swirls, waves, or speckles of contrasting colours, adding depth and character to its appearance.

Used as the table surface of the MŪ311 coffee table, we offer this granite with a honed or sandblasted finish.‍

Naboomspruit White Sandstone typically exhibits a predominantly white or off-white colouration. However, it often features subtle variations and undertones, ranging from creamy beige to light grey. This sandstone is known for its fine-grained texture, which imparts a smooth feel to the surface. The stone may also contain occasional quartzite veins or speckles, contributing to its character.

Used as the single material of the MŪ161 bench or as a table surface, we offer this stone in a honed finish.‍

Verde Antique is characterised by its deep green hue, which ranges from emerald to forest green. The colouration may vary slightly depending on the specific quarry and the presence of mineral impurities. One of the most distinctive features of Verde Antique is its intricate veining and patterns. These veins can vary in intensity and may appear as swirls, waves, or irregular patterns throughout the stone. The contrasting veins typically range in colour from white and grey to lighter shades of green.

Used as the single material of the MŪ221 tray, we offer this stone in a honed finish.

Dekton Sirius is an ultra-compact, carbon-neutral surface engineered from a sophisticated blend of glass, porcelain and quartz, fused under extreme heat and pressure to create a dense, non-porous material. Its deep matte black tone and refined texture offer a bold architectural presence, while providing exceptional resistance to scratches, stains, heat and UV exposure.

We use Dekton Sirius as the decorative surface element of the MŪ16181 shelving.

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy made primarily from iron and chromium, often combined with elements like nickel or molybdenum for enhanced performance. It’s valued for its strength, longevity,and clean appearance. For our tray set, we use mirror-polished, food-gradestainless steel, while the custom glides on the MŪ16181 shelving, MŪ11 bed, and MŪ181 daybed are produced from grade 316 stainless steel.

3CR12 is a ferritic, corrosion-resistantsteel developed by Columbus Stainless in South Africa. Containing around 12% chromium, it performs well in mildly corrosive conditions such as exposure to water, general atmospheric environments, and certain chemicals.

We use 3CR12 as the structural steel for our coffee tables, finished with a vapour-blasted surface.

In our material selection, we opt for either a ferrograin or gloss finish on our powder-coated steel. The ferrograin coating contains fine particles that create a subtle, lightly textured surface, enhancing durability and corrosion resistance while adding subtle visual depth. The gloss option offers a smooth, light-reflective surface with the same hard-wearing performance.

For pieces such as the MŪ16181 Shelving and the MŪ811 Table, we typically specify dark grey or white powder-coat finishes. The MŪ411 Swivel Table is available in either ferrograin or gloss, and the gloss powder-coat colour can be customised to suit specific requirements.

Mild steel has a naturally smooth surface and a muted, matte character when left untreated. Once waxed, the finish becomes smoother to the touch and develops a soft sheen that enriches its dark grey tone. The wax subtly deepens the colour, lending the material added richness and depth without masking its inherent character.

A wax finish also provides practical protection, forming a barrier against moisture and slowing corrosion and oxidation. As a material, mild steel may reveal machining traces and mill marks—details that speak to its industrial origin and fabrication process.

Spectrum’s chromatic mirrors are created by layering combinations of pure metals onto clear glass, producing luminous colour fields and soft gradients that shift with light and perspective. The surface moves between reflection and colour, each mirror offering subtle variation and a distinct visual presence.
