Our wood species At Cyria, wood is a great love story!
But since not all woods are equal for use in urban environments, we have selected the most appropriate species. Sturdy, top-quality woods that stand up to the test of time and external stress: tropical species, renowned for their solidity, but also a number of tried-and-tested local species renowned for their resistance. And because we're so attentive to the quality of our materials, all the wood we use is untreated and FSC and PEFC certified.

Materials & Finishes

A living material that evolves over time

Wood is one of the most popular materials for furniture. And with good reason! We appreciate its nobility, its natural, warm appearance, its elegance, the uniqueness of its grain, veins and knots.

But we mustn't forget that wood is a living material! So it's hardly surprising that its appearance changes over time. It lives and adapts constantly to the demands of its environment: temperature, humidity levels, sunlight.

Over time and in response to climatic variations, you may observe deformations of the surface, slight cracking and a change in color, with the gradual appearance of a natural patina tending towards gray.

All these changes are natural and in no way affect the quality of the product! And despite the use of the most resistant species, it's impossible to keep wood perfectly smooth for years. However, if these effects bother you, you can slow down the process with regular maintenance and treatment by applying our NATIXT® protective oil.

Its solidity, due to its high hardness, enables it to withstand the elements without the need for any special treatment. An asset for urban design!
