To preserve the appearance and durability of products with lacquered colored surfaces, it is essential to follow a few simple maintenance guidelines. Lacquered surfaces are delicate and require care in daily use: dust and dirt should be removed regularly with a soft cloth, slightly dampened with water or neutral detergents. It is important to avoid the use of abrasive sponges, metal scourers, or aggressive products containing solvents or alcohol, as they may dull or scratch the finish. For more stubborn stains, gently dab the area without rubbing vigorously, avoiding any intense friction. Protecting the surface from direct heat sources or prolonged exposure to strong light will also help preserve the color and shine of the lacquer. With regular care and attention to small daily precautions, lacquered surfaces maintain their original appearance over time, preserving their sheen and smooth touch, and ensuring a consistently refined and uniform aesthetic result.
Lacquers
For Desalto, lacquer is not just a finish, but a true language of color. Through its nuances, every surface comes to life, becoming an expression of style and personality. Color dresses the furniture like a second skin: it defines, characterizes, and makes each piece unique. Matte lacquer provides understated and sophisticated elegance, a subtle presence that gently engages the eye. In contrast, glossy lacquer reflects light and amplifies shapes, bringing energy and depth to spaces. In both variations, lacquer becomes emotion: a detail that transforms design into a sensory experience and guides every project toward new expressive possibilities.
For Desalto, powder coating is a gesture that unites aesthetics and substance. A finish that wraps metal like a perfect veil, enhancing its shapes and giving furniture a pure beauty. Color becomes the protagonist: intense, uniform, capable of turning a detail into a distinctive feature. The surface, compact and harmonious, conveys a sense of solidity that endures over time. Whether matte or glossy, powder coating gives each piece a unique character, where design engages with elegance, transforming every object into a visual and sensory experience.
Desalto also uses liquid lacquer, a technique that involves applying paint in a fluid form directly onto the surface. This process is designed for materials or components that cannot be placed in an oven and are therefore unsuitable for the baking required for powder coating. In this way, each element still receives a uniform, high-quality finish, ensuring aesthetic continuity and careful attention to detail.
