MATERIALS

- WOOD - 

Our wood comes from legal american, african, asian and european forests  Our environmental commitment is to give nature a cycle of renewal by planting more trees instead of cutting trees; generating more oxygen, collecting and absorbing more CO2 as well as biodegradable waste.

ROSEWOOD: It is a brazilian tree, lush and evergreen containing an oil with sweet and floral aroma similar to nutmeg. It is a hard, warm and luxurious wood that Fento® has the pleasure of having for its wide range of colors from mottled brown, violet colored heartwood with irregular black stripes, to the bottom demarcated from the sapwood cream.

FRESNO: It grows in temperate regions from the northern hemisphere. It is a white wood and when cut for the first time turns into a pale pink dye that forms a pattern due to their growth rings. To Fento ® ash is like the white of nature that provides freshness and purity.

WENGUE: It is a tropical African wood characterized by its dark and almost black color that is turning into as it has contact with light, this color gives this classic, elegant and contemporary touch to our frames.

NOGAL: Walnuts are distributed throughout temperate and warm regions of the Northern Hemisphere, extending to South America. European walnut wood is gray-brown, with black streaks and straight grain, occasionally slightly wavy. Fento® combines it perfectly with natural stone giving an elegant and neutral touch.

MAPLE: It is the best wood as concerning relative density/stiffness that comes from the forests of Canada, USA and Northern Europe. It is a cream colored wood that is used as filling frames plywood.

HAYA: It is a European specie of hard to medium density that features a pale sapwood and darker heartwood which is closer to the center of the tree. Fento® uses it to give life and movement to our frames.
