The more we understand the unique characteristics of wood and its source, the better we can understand how much warmth and beauty it can bring into our everyday lives. Each piece of wooden furniture is a unique masterpiece of design and texture as every piece of wood has a unique grain pattern. There are several types of wood and it will take a lot of passion and patience to discover all the types of woods in the world.
To simplify it, the classification of wood is generally divided into two groups;mataʻitakiʻaʻehardwood.

“How do I know if it is Softwood?”
SOFTWOODis produced from coniferous or evergreen trees. Evergreen trees do not lose its leaves annually like hardwood does as coniferous trees have needles and not leaves. Conifers are fast growing tress and can take 20 to 30 years to mature. Any timber that comes from coniferous tress is open grain. Open grain means it is not as durable as hardwood. Some softwood trees are used for paper production. Paper is usually made of pine wood, which is a type of softwood. There are many types of softwood used in the production of furniture as well, including pine.

KAKAULI主要是由低矮树木制成的。硬木木材纹理紧密，因此最适合制作家具。紧密纹理的木材被认为坚固且不易开裂。硬木树也可以生长多达100年才能完全成熟。难怪市场上的硬木木材价格昂贵！正如我们所见，有些家具行业以硬木为基材。在KIAN，我们通常使用硬木制作家具，即橡木、桦木、橡木、巴劳木、橡胶木和尼托霍木。实际上，KIAN最初开始使用橡胶木制造桌面。橡胶木被称为环保且廉价的木材选择，因为它利用了已经完成其生产乳胶功能的橡胶树。
