Materials

Oak

Oak is a hardwood tree which can become more than 1000 years old. The oak has a beautiful grain and is much wanted because it is strong, but at the same time elegant and sophisticated.

Ash

Ash is a large hardwood tree within the Oleaceae family, and is together with oak and elm among our broadleaf trees. The Ash’s wood is hard and tough, but is easy to bend and has a bright color with a clear and very beautiful grain.

Birch

Birch is material easy to work with and has a bright and beautiful surface which alters from a yellow-white color to a red one. Birch is a common material when it comes to furniture and decorating. We often use birch in our color painted furniture (no structure).

Veneer

Veneer is surface covering, produced from a timber of high quality which is glued on to a construction of wood. On Hans K we offer ash veneer and oak veneer.

MDF

MDF stands for Medium Density Fibreboard and is a wood board made 100% of softwood trees. The material is very hard and the surface is smooth. The clean surface is good for painting or as a foundation for veneered furniture.

If you want your furniture to be comfortable and unique, choose furniture with the leather on it. Leather will always add its authentical natural character to the product. It is a very elastic and shapeable material which makes your furniture much more enjoyable. Leather is a durable material and if it is cared for properly it can end up having a very long life and even growing more beautiful over the years.We work with the following leather types when producing our furniture:

Genuine Leather

Our genuine leather is a light embossed semi aniline leather produced from the South American hides. The hides are soft and comfortable with an elegant look.

Bonded leather

Bonded leather is a recyclable leather. To form the bonded leather a leather waste is combined with a binder on a fabric. After that the surface is treated with polyurethane with a mat model to preserve looks, scent and feeling. The best solution for a surface treatment of the bonded leather is with products intended for PU and Bycast.

Elmo leather / Elmosoft

Elmosoft is a chrome free, soft and pliable Semi-Aniline leather. Outstanding comfort combined with excellent durability and an extensive shade card, makes it very suitable for the public environment. Compare it with the somewhat sturdier, Elmonordic. Visible insect-bites and scars from healed wounds add to the elegant quality of the leather.

Raw material: Grain leather from Scandinavian cattle. All Elmo leather is dyed through and tested at Elmo’s laboratory.

Hans K aims for high quality in all fields. We therefore work with both, durable fiber like polyester as a standard fabric.

Hans K standard fabric Nature has been used for over 15 years.

It is a durable fabric and has a minimum of 30000 Martindales in durability.  We recommended 15000 for home environment and at least 25000 for public areas. Our Nature fabric is available in 3 colors and more colors on demand. 

Hans K Nature fabric is a polyester, which is a synthetic material with high durability and wrinkle resistance.

Today polyester stands for approx. 20% of the world production, making it the world’s second most important fabric material after cotton. The polyester is also easy to clean because dirt easily comes off and the material dries fast.

If you want to add other fabric we use Pick Your own fabric, for example we work closely with Svenssons fabrics, and especially Svensson Macro fabric.

Also you can send your favorite fabric to Hans K and we reupholster the product.
