We design objects to last. Not to stay unchanged, but to age well. A patina on walnut, the yellowing of a beige parchment shade: these aren’t signs of neglect. They’re signs of existence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What follows are simple habits to keep your pieces in good shape. Gentle, regular attention is enough for most materials. The rest, time handles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Wood<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wood responds to its environment \u2014 heat, humidity, direct sun all affect it over time, so it’s worth keeping pieces away from prolonged exposure to any of them. For cleaning, a soft slightly damp cloth following the grain, and dry straight away.
Waxed finishes benefit from a coat of colourless wax once a year: apply evenly across the whole surface, let it dry, then buff with a clean cloth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Metal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dust with a dry cloth or feather duster; abrasives will scratch the surface regardless of finish. For stains, the approach depends on the finish: painted metal responds to a non-abrasive cleaner or neutral soap; polished aluminium to water and neutral soap (check first that the soap is metal-compatible); gold, bronze, nickel and chrome plating to a microfibre cloth with neutral soap or non-abrasive glass cleaner, then dried; anodised aluminium is the most resistant \u2014 water usually does the job, with neutral soap as backup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Parchment and Washi Paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These shades are delicate and should be treated as such. A dry cloth to remove dust. For marks, a white eraser without pressing. Nothing wet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Fabric<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For linen and cotton, a soft cloth or brush lifts dust easily. Stains respond well to dry foam; if something persists, a damp cloth in circular movements.
Synthetic fabrics (polyester and nylon) are more straightforward: a soft cloth with warm water, and neutral soap if needed. With any fabric, avoid ammonia, solvents and abrasives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
