Trend of the moment
An industrial (dining room) table is characterized by the use of sturdy and robust materials. Metal and wood usually form the right combination to create an industrial look. A wooden table top goes very nicely with a natural interior. The steel legs ensure the industrial and massive feeling. Not only the model just described, but also a model complete of wood with steel elements or a complete steel table go perfectly with the contemporary industrial trend. In this blog we focus on the different types of wood.
Mango wood
Mangohout is a type of wood that has become extremely popular in recent years. The wood of the mango tree is used for furniture when the tree has stopped giving fruits. For Mango plantations, the tree has become worthless when you no longer give fruits. The tree is being cut down at that time and the wood can be used for the production of furniture. The felled trees are being replaced by new trees: Sustainability at its best!
Mangohout cannot be compared in terms of appearance and structure with a different types of wood such as teak or oak. Due to the busy wood print, every mango product is even more unique than you are used to from other types of wood. Although the base of the mango wood is always the same, color shades can occur and one table top is different from the other. Mangohout can have a yellow result that belongs to the product. It is therefore possible that you have a dining table without yellow shades and a TV furniture with yellow shades. This can be due to the treatment of the furniture, but also by, for example, the area where it comes from. In a more humid area, a tree grows differently than in a dryer area, which has the elaboration of color with the mango tree.
The mango tree grows very high in a short period and often has a large diameter. This makes the mango tree extremely suitable for the furniture industry. Mangohout has become so popular that this is now seen as an important material of the future. Mangohout is currently the best -selling wood type in the Netherlands and then mainly at dining tables and coffee tables. Our mangowood products can be found via the following link: Mango products
