Fruitwoods - Exclusive beauty in high-quality furniture and object construction
Fruitwoods such as cherry, pear, and walnut enjoy special recognition in the furniture world. Not only for their warm tones and fine grains, but also for their historical associations with value, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Their limited availability also ensures exclusivity and special appreciation. Below, we take a closer look at cherry, pear, and walnut and show why these woods are among the favorites in high-end furniture making.
- Cherry: warmth, depth and timeless elegance
- Appearance: Cherrywood impresses with its uniform, soft reddish to deep brown color. The grain is sanded very finely, giving the wood a very elegant appearance.
- Properties: Cherry is a native hardwood and therefore particularly stable. Cherry wood is easy to work with, absorbs varnishes, oils, and waxes evenly, and thus achieves a smooth, even surface.
- Furniture style: Ideal for both classic and modern interiors. Cherry wood blends seamlessly into living room, bedroom, or dining room furniture and creates a luxurious effect, especially in darker, cozy settings.
- Pear: brightness, finesse and characterful structures
- Appearance: Pearwood has a light, creamy to yellowish base color with a fine grain. The heartwood has dark, distinctive grooves. The surface appears soft and welcoming, giving pearwood furniture a bright and inviting appearance.
- Properties: Pear is tough and stable, and the wood is easy to work with. A finely sanded surface gives the wood a particularly elegant look.
- Furniture style: Pear is a perfect match for Scandinavian, modern, or even Mediterranean interiors. The light base color makes rooms appear airier and calming.
- Walnut: Profound beauty, luxury and character
- Appearance: Walnut wood impresses with dark to dark brown tones with violet-black nuances and a striking, often veined grain. The texture appears rich, deep, and very high-quality; furniture and design objects display exceptional plasticity.
- Properties: Very robust and durable, withstands stress well. Walnut lends itself excellently to sanding, processing, and finishing. The surface absorbs varnish, oil, or wax deeply, allowing the detailed grain to be particularly well-illustrated.
- Furniture style: Walnut is the epitome of luxury and elegance. It pairs particularly well with classic, modern, or baroque-inspired furniture. Walnut furniture sets a distinctive accent in rooms with darker tones or contrasting elements.
- Exclusive role in high-quality furniture construction
- Value and history: Fruitwoods often represent responsible use of wood, craftsmanship, and sustainable origins. They are often offered as absolute highlights in high-quality furniture collections.
- Finishes and surfaces: High-quality furniture finishes such as oil-wax combinations, matte or silky varnishes, and gently polished surfaces are particularly effective. The grain is emphasized, color depth is enhanced, and the piece of furniture acquires a distinctive feel.
