This Bikkel stool is a surprising item in the interior! The stool is made from paulownia wood, which is the fastest growing hardwood in the world. The paulownia wood is known for its knotty characteristics, cracks and holes in the wood may occur and give this Bikkel its robust character.
Maintenance
A disadvantage of this soft wood is its vulnerability to frequent use. Items made of paulownia wood are easily damaged and difficult to repair. Do not place a paulownia item in direct or indirect sunlight for long periods as this can cause the wood to dry out and crack. Keep the wood dust-free weekly with a clean, dry cloth. Additional treatment with a transparent coating is possible but not necessary. Because of the coarse structure it is difficult to get the item fully protected.
