We hope you are happy with your ARCHITECTMADE product. Most of our products are handmade, and of natural origin, which gives them a unique appearance. As a result of a natural process, they might change overtime. This is not a product defect. Here are some tips to use to make them last longer.

Oak, Natural – Bird, Owl, Jul, Bubo
Wood is a living material. This means that over time, if the material is exposed to sunlight or high humidity, for example, the colour may change slightly as the wood moisture content changes. In this case, we recommend sanding the products with fine sandpaper (preferably grain 220 or finer). This will also give the product a smooth surface again. To preserve the glow of the dark wood in the eyes, we recommend to use beeswax balm or furniture wax, applied using a cotton swab.

Oak, Smoked – Bird, Owl
Products in smoked wood will fade over time. To refresh the glow in the wood, we recommend to polish the product with beeswax balm or furniture wax, applied with a dry cloth first and then a lint-free cloth.

Elastic – Oscar, Bobby
Over time, the elastics in Oscar and Bobby’s joints may break. If this happens, you can request a repair kit sending an e-mail to: service@architectmade.com

Teak – Duck, Duckling, Optimist, Pessimist, FJ Bowl, Jul
To preserve the colour, we recommend to use a wood oil suitable for Teak wood. In our repair shop we use beeswax balm.
