Recycled Wood Desk
A desk is a piece of furniture found in all homes and offices: there are those who prefer it wide and long to position numerous monitors or place folders and catalogues alongside the computer; there are those who prefer it slimmer and more minimalist, almost like a simple board, to enrich a living area or for reasons of space.
Recycled Wood Desk: how to choose the right one for your needs
More and more Italians are deciding to buy a desk made of recycled wood because:
- They want to make their own contribution to the environmental impact and support the ecosystem by choosing a product made without cutting down trees and causing deforestation.
- They know that it is a strong and durable wood.
- They are aware that they have a piece of furniture in their home or office that has unique characteristics and reflects values and ideologies.
There are many types of recycled wood desks.
So let’s see how to choose the one that best suits your expectations and needs:
1| Consider the environment in which you are going to place it. Is it a home study? Is it a shared office with other people? Is it an open-plan studio? Is it an office open to the public?
2| Assess the space you have available. Perhaps you would like a long desk, e.g. to put two or three workstations side by side, but the area does not allow it.
3|Even if it is recycled wood, find out about the quality of the materials and, if you can, the production cycle.
The manufacturing process of the Ecological Panel® consists of several important stages:
- collection for the disposal of used wood throughout Italy at Savionet centres
- sorting and cleaning process, to separate the wood from any other foreign material;
- breaking up the wood in several steps so that it can then be assembled;
- production of the 100% recycled wood panel in the form of large sheets ready to be cut and customised;
- ennobling process with various decorations and finishes.
4|Choose the design you like best. There is often a tendency to think of wood as a material intended only for a classic, traditional or country-chic taste. This is not the case: you can go for a recycled wood desk even if your style is more modern, minimalist and industrial. On the contrary, the touch of wood will warm up modern rooms that are sometimes very cold.
How to clean a Recycled Wood Desk?
Cleaning is very quick and easy: just use a soft cloth barely dampened in plain water or a non-aggressive all-purpose cleaner.
It is best to avoid overly degreasing or stain-removing detergents, as they may ruin the surface of the desk.
