Our Materials
We believe in buying once and buying well. Bokel Home furniture is handmade to be used every day, loved for a lifetime, and easily fixed up if it ever needs a refresh. This is our direct 'no' to fast furniture and overconsumption, shaping Bokel's core values.
100% solid wood inside and out
We opt for real solid wood because it is strong, durable, and naturally full of character. We intentionally avoid MDF, particleboard, and mass-produced veneers. They lack the texture and natural variation of real wood grain and knots, which give every piece of solid wood furniture its own distinct look. Real wood is also easy to look after and maintain. If your furniture ever needs a refresh down the line, you can easily paint, restain, or sand it back. For us, it is about choosing a slower, more thoughtful way to furnish your home with high-quality pieces made to last.
100% natural fibres
We choose our fabrics based on two things: how they feel and how they perform. Every textile we select uses premium natural fibres, ensuring your furniture stands up to daily life without wearing thin or losing its structure.
Caring for Your Materials
To help your furniture last, treat each material with care. Keep solid wood away from direct sunlight and radiators where possible, wipe spills promptly, and use coasters or placemats to protect surfaces. Periodic conditioning with natural beeswax will nourish the grain and retain its natural sheen.
Upholstered pieces should be vacuumed gently with a soft brush attachment to maintain the weave. True natural materials are designed to age with use, gathering character and becoming deeply personal pieces over time.
