When placing untreated wood outside it will patinate over time and become silver-grey in the end. If you wish to preserve or intensify the original dark/golden/honey brown colour, use Skagerak’s natural oil for outdoor furniture. The oil is designed to protect and strengthen wood types such as teak, western red cedar, cherry, and mahogany. As the natural oil saturates and darkens the surface a little, it brings out the natural beauty of the wood and leaves it well-nourished, resistant to water, dirt and grease.

> white soap – indoor

Skagerak’s white soap for indoor use is a ready-to-use quality soap designed for cleaning and protecting light wood-types such as oak, ash and beech, and surfaces such as floors, furniture and table tops. As the soap seeps into the wood and promptly closes up the pores, the surface is well protected from filth and fluids.

> oil with white pigment – indoor

Skagerak’s oil with white pigment is designed to protect and strengthen wooden surfaces on light types of wood such as oak, ash, beech, birch and pine. The oil will minimize the natural darkening of the wood and keep it well-nourished and light – resistant to water, dirt and grease.

> natural oil – indoor

Skagerak’s natural worktop oil is designed to protect and strengthen wooden surfaces. As the natural oil saturates and darkens the surface a little, it brings out the natural beauty of the wood and leaves it well-nourished, resistant to water, dirt and grease.

It is recommended to saturate the oak with soap or suitable oil to make it more resistant and protect it from various stains. Untreated teak can be used as it is, but a natural oil can be applied, especially to keep a beautiful dark brown colour. We offer several products to guide you in your choice.

Cutter is a varied and versatile collection, designed by Niels Hvass for Skagerak. It consists of several storage units (coat racks, shelves and boxes), several seats (stool, bench and folding seat), and a beautiful mirror to decorate the wall of a room or hallway.

The Cutter collection will be perfect for furnishing small spaces like a house or a apartment entry, where storage must be practical and well optimized. The Cutter elements will also find their place in much larger spaces, such as a living room, a bed room, a veranda or a terrace: the bench and the stool can indeed serve as seats and as side tables to have plants and decorative objects.

All the Cutter elements are available in untreated teak, untreated oak and black lacquered oak.

Teak is a type of very hard and sturdy type of wood. The high content of natural oils makes it very resistant and rot-proof. It will be perfect for use both indoors and outdoors. As the wood is not treated, the surface will change colour over time and eventually turn into a beautiful silvery gray. To maintain untreated teak, it is advisable to use abrasive paper (120-150 grit) once or twice a year.

For untreated oak, it is recommended to saturate the wood with soap or suitable oil to make it more resistant and protect it from various stains. We offer several products to guide you in your choice.

As for the black lacquered oak, it does not require any particular maintenance. Just wipe it with a damp cloth and then with a dry one.
