Solid mango: unusual, sustainable and hard-wearing

As specialists in premium, artisanally crafted solid wood furniture, the quality of the pieces we offer is of the utmost importance to us. The woods we select preserve the tree's natural beauty and character. Each type of wood offers unique and distinctive qualities.

When you think of the mango tree, you likely think of its fragrant fruit, but did you know that it also produces a very dense wood with stunning characteristics? Native to Asia, mango is an exotic wood that offers a rich palette of tones, ranging from deep honey to dark brown, all complemented by a beautiful grain. While the mango tree is unique in appearance, its strength and density make it equally distinctive in terms of durability. And the icing on the cake: it is an excellent example in terms of environmental protection as the tree is harvested wood once it reaches maturity.

Aesthetic

The visible grain is very attractive, displaying shades of brown, yellow, and rosy reds. This coloration is due to a botanical phenomenon known as "spalting", which is specific to the mango tree. Spalting creates a range of unique effects, making each plank of wood one-of-a-kind.

The mango tree is highly valued for its aesthetic characteristics.

Resistant

With its great density, mango is considered a hardwood that is strong and stands up to knocks, bumps, and the passage of time. It is very popular in furniture making for all types of interior use and, when properly protected, is ideal for bathroom cabinets.

The mango tree takes time to live its first life before being cut down, and its long fruit-bearing periods make the wood denser and harder over time.

Sustainable

The mango is a fast-growing tree that contributes to biodiversity by enriching the soil. The mango tree, native to Asia, is not only a symbol of prosperity and wealth but also prized for its productivity. It is widely cultivated for its fruit, in high demand worldwide, as well as its durable wood, which is commonly used in carpentry and furniture making.

Mango is an elegant wood, known for its fine striations that are particularly popular with furniture makers. The resulting pieces are authentic and full of personality, and often used sparingly in the dining room, living room or, bedroom. With its distinctive appearance, mango wood furniture can be combined with many styles, from vintage and industrial to contemporary. You're sure to find a piece that suits you.
