Wood tops require simple but consistent daily maintenance to ensure the durability and integrity of their surfaces. Cleaning should be done using a soft cloth, preferably microfiber, or a sponge with gentle bristles, avoiding abrasive tools that could scratch the material. To remove dirt, it is recommended to use a controlled amount of lukewarm water, taking care to prevent liquid from pooling in joints or wood grain. After cleaning, the surface should be immediately dried with a clean, dry cloth to reduce the risk of warping or moisture stains. It is essential not to use harsh detergents or products containing acidic chemicals, such as vinegar or bleach, which can alter the color and natural finish of the wood. Surfaces should also be protected from direct heat sources and prolonged exposure to humidity, using trivets and promptly removing any spills or stains. By following these cleaning and maintenance protocols, wood tops retain their aesthetic and functional qualities over time, ensuring consistent performance and a surface that remains safe and pleasant to the touch.
Wood
The woods selected for the Desalto collection are not simply materials: they are the silent protagonists of every project, bringing warmth, character, and harmony. Each wood species possesses its own identity, capable of telling different stories through grain, color, and texture. Some convey a sense of comfort and familiarity, others evoke elegance and lightness, while still others surprise with strong character and unique personality.

La scelta di un’essenza non riguarda solo l’estetica: è un gesto che influenza la percezione dello spazio, creando ambienti capaci di emozionare chi li vive. Il tatto, la vista, persino l’olfatto possono cogliere la vitalità di queste superfici, testimoniando il dialogo tra artigianalità, natura e design contemporaneo. Con le essenze Desalto, ogni prodotto diventa più di un oggetto: diventa un’esperienza sensoriale, un incontro tra materia e emozione, pronto a raccontare la propria storia in ogni ambiente.
L’essenza amaranto si distingue per la sua colorazione intensa e calda, che spazia dal rosso profondo a sfumature più morbide e naturali, conferendo agli spazi un carattere avvolgente. La sua venatura sottile e uniforme aggiunge un senso di naturalezza, rendendolo ideale per arredi e finiture che vogliono unire design e armonia cromatica. La sua presenza porta con sé una sensazione di solidità e calore, capace di valorizzare sia ambienti moderni sia contesti più tradizionali.

In the high-resolution images section, you can explore up close the different colors and grain patterns of our woods. Downloading these images allows you to appreciate the material details, study color combinations, and better understand the aesthetic characteristics of our products. It is important to remember, however, that these are natural materials: each wood species has unique grain patterns and slight variations in tone, so it is not possible to guarantee that every piece will exactly match the displayed image. This natural variability is not a limitation, but the true added value of wood, giving each product an authentic and unique character.
Iroko is a prized African hardwood, valued by architects and designers for its technical qualities and extraordinary durability. With a dense structure and natural resilience, it stands out for its ability to withstand weathering without losing its properties. These characteristics make it particularly suitable for outdoor use, where exposure to sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations requires materials that ensure long-term stability and reliability. Choosing iroko for outdoor furniture is deliberate: it combines aesthetic beauty, with warm grain patterns and golden hues that evolve over time, with technical performance that remains durable and reliable even under intensive use.
To preserve the aesthetic and functional qualities of iroko, regular and non-invasive maintenance is sufficient. Routine cleaning should be done with water and a soft cloth or a brush with gentle bristles, avoiding harsh detergents or solvents that could alter the surface finish. For more persistent dirt, a neutral detergent diluted in water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and immediate drying of the surface. It is important not to leave stagnant water on the wood for long periods, especially after heavy rain, as this could eventually affect the material’s uniform coloration. For the same reason, leaves, dust, and organic debris that accumulate on outdoor surfaces should be removed periodically. Over time, iroko naturally develops a surface patina that enhances its appearance and reflects its authentic character. This process does not compromise the quality of the material but highlights its natural evolution in response to the outdoor environment. Careful and regular maintenance, even without invasive treatments, allows the wood to retain its functionality while accompanying its aesthetic transformation, making each piece unique and unrepeatable.
Vavona Burl is an extraordinary wood, prized for its density, compactness, and the unique beauty of its grain patterns. Each section reveals knots, curves, and natural patterns that make every tabletop truly one of a kind. Its solid structure ensures stability and durability—essential qualities for surfaces that must combine aesthetics and functionality—while also offering a warm, tactile experience. Visually, Vavona Burl captivates with the contrast between light and dark tones, the natural luster of its grains, and the complexity of its details, giving the wood an almost sculptural presence. Each tabletop thus becomes a visual narrative, a story of nature shaped by time, the tree’s growth conditions, and the craftsmanship that enhances and honors it.
The appeal of Vavona Burl goes beyond aesthetics: its technical qualities make it ideal for use on design surfaces, where strength and precision are essential. At Desalto, this precious material is selected for certain MINI HEB table tops, carefully chosen for specific diameters. Limiting its application to selected formats is deliberate: it maximizes the beauty of the grain and the depth of the burl, avoiding compromises and ensuring a result that is always harmonious and consistent with Desalto’s quality. In this way, each MINI HEB table with a Vavona Burl top becomes not only a functional object but a small natural masterpiece, where the balance between form, material, and light creates a unique atmosphere. Vavona Burl once again demonstrates Desalto’s ability to combine craftsmanship, innovation, and the poetry of design, offering materials that speak of beauty, attention to detail, and respect for nature.
