What are the differentials in using wood as the main material for luminaires?

Despite so many options on the market, wooden luminaires present some differentials in relation to other materials. Check it out!

Sophisticated design

Gone are the days when wood was only associated with simple and rustic materials. In recent years, designers have increasingly proven that this material can bring elegance, sophistication, and modernity to environments.

This is the case with Accord, which produces innovative pieces, combining the most advanced technologies with sustainable practices and personalized work.

Coziness

Some wood patterns can still bring a feeling of coziness to your projects. They are perfect for resting and long-stay spaces.

This happens because of the warm and welcoming colors that usually accompany this material, in addition to its texture.

Versatility

Finally, a good piece of wood can last a lifetime. It is easy and quick to maintain and brings quality to your project.

This is because it can be combined with different decoration styles and get new looks over time, without losing its classic characteristic.

Wooden luminaires: why are they a sustainable choice?

The wooden luminaire represents a sustainable option for your interior project, a feature sought after in decoration items today. Check out some of the reasons:

Material quality

Some types of wood have high durability and lifespan. This is the case with walnut, teak, or imbuia, for example.

Therefore, make sure your wooden luminaire has high quality and durability. This may represent a higher initial investment, but it will certainly result in an object that will be in your home for many years.

Classic design

A wooden luminaire with a quality design represents a piece that will be part of the home decoration for a long time.

This is because wood can prove to be quite versatile, harmonizing with various design trends over the years.

Manufacturing process

Finally, it is necessary to pay attention to the manufacturer's certifications of your wooden luminaire to know the origin of that material.

Accord's operation, for example, is certified by IBAMA, and the suppliers use the FSC seal, which guarantees that the products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits.

This means that the company does not buy from illegal exploitative actions and that all suppliers have authorization to cultivate the species they harvest themselves or work with a sustainable forest management method.

Exploring different wood patterns: how do they influence luminaire design?

Each type of wood gives the luminaire different aesthetic and visual characteristics, besides being more suitable for certain contexts.

Discover some of the patterns available on the market and understand which one makes the most sense for your project.

Walnut (Nogueira)

Brown in color, with a slightly light tone, the Nogueira pattern represents the strong-structured walnut. It offers environments sophistication and striking personality, working with timelessness.

Cathedral Freijó (Freijó Catedral)

This pattern has a lighter coloring, high quality, good cost-benefit, and good workability, with organic design veneers. It is present in high-traffic areas, such as living rooms, corridors, and halls, or in commercial areas, such as theaters, cinemas, and hotels.

Teak (Teca)

Tectona grandis is a subtropical wood found in Southeast Asian forests. Because it is hard and quite resistant, it is frequently used in furniture manufacturing and shipbuilding.

It is widely used in the design of open spaces, such as gardens and facades, as it resists weather conditions. It has a long lifespan, up to 100 years, and is sometimes compared to oak.

Imbuia

Found in the southern region of the country, the ocotea porosa represents high durability and quality, even against termite attacks and other organisms.

It can compose various types of projects, since it combines beauty, luxury, and resistance. It has a very characteristic and pleasant smell and an irregularly lustrous surface.

Heavy, it is easy to work with and takes finishes well, whether varnishing or painting.

Maple

Light reddish-brown with small dark spots, the soft maple tree has a shiny and resistant appearance.

It is semi-hard, soft, and somewhat heavy, widely used in the manufacture of high-quality furniture.

It is present especially in environments located in domestic interiors, as it can deteriorate with storms or excess water.

Ash

The ash pattern offers a light and soft natural color, which harmonizes well with neutral environments and also with minimalist proposals.

It is widely used in fine finishing furniture and, being more porous, allows the preservation of a relief different from that present in smooth woods.

Louro Freijó

Known as the "Brazilian walnut", this tree offers wood with a yellowish light-brown color, almost honey, with blackened and parallel streaks.

Therefore, the pattern is widely used by designers and architects seeking exclusivity and style in their projects.

Lacquer (Laca)

In addition to wood patterns, it is possible to opt for the finish of your wooden luminaire in lacquer.

Lacquer is a natural varnish used for centuries in furniture and decoration pieces. It protects the wood and makes its surface more resistant. There are different types of lacquers, glossy or matte. Furthermore, this type of paint provides a uniform finish in the selected color.

Accord uses lacquer finishes from the Italian brand Lechler, a benchmark in industrial painting companies.

The available color options are: matte black, white, cappuccino, iridescent white, gold, olive green, bronze, straw, lead, and satin blue.
