Raw material and finishing


Firstly, Raw Material.

Since wood is a living and natural product, its pieces differ from each other in colour and structure, even though they might belong to the same tree species.

Therefore, differences in tone in the grain, which may be streaked or flamed, and variations due to the natural movement and change of solid wood are distinctive features that demonstrate its naturalness and cannot be considered reasons for claims.

Moisture, temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight can impair the gluing of product parts, cause wood defects such as banding or slight splitting and alter the colour of the wood and coatings.

Sipa is only for indoor

Our solid wood chairs, our handcrafted wooden stools, our production of artisan solid wood tables and table tops are exclusively meant for indoor areas, their use is not recommended in open space, to be carefull in open verandas.

The woods we use for our products, from bar and restaurant chairs to table tops, are spruce, ash and oak, and come from European forests that are managed correctly and responsibly according to FSC regulations.

Control over the entire production process

Choosing Sipa means choosing sustainability also in the production process: painting, upholstery coating and packaging operations take place at Premariacco (UD) plant, in our premises.

Wood treatment

The wood is slowly seasoned in boards until it reaches a humidity level of +-20%, and then goes through the drying process in a ventilated oven or autoclave until it reaches a humidity level of between 8 and 10%.
