Living outdoor spaces like indoor ones is now the norm and even the world of design has adapted to this new trend of living, creating functional accessories suitable for any type of environment, such as wooden furniture.

Wood for outdoors: treatments and essences

Wood is a porous material and is not suitable for outdoor use, so it is treated with specific products that make it waterproof and weatherproof.
The protective finishes are often transparent but you can also opt for dark or light shades.
