What should I know about natural timber variation?

Our products will not always look exactly like the pictures on our website, this is due to the nature of the materials we use:

Unique and Natural Products

At Naco, we take pride in using a combination of engineered and natural materials, ensuring that every piece we create is truly one-of-a-kind. Just as no two trees are the same, the grain, texture, and tone of natural timber will vary. These natural variations guarantee that the item you receive will have its own unique character, making it special and distinctive from what you may have seen online or in-store. Please note that the product displayed on our website is a representation; the shipped item may differ in color, tone, and texture.

Handmade Craftsmanship

The majority of our products are handmade by skilled artisans. This handcrafted process may result in minor imperfections, which we view as part of the charm and authenticity of handmade objects. These details reflect the care, attention, and human touch invested in every piece we produce.
We believe these qualities celebrate the individuality of each product, adding warmth and character to your space.

How Are We Sustainable?

Is Naco Design furniture made to order?

We minimize the risk of producing excess stock by making our furniture to order, ensuring that each piece is crafted specifically for you.

How does Naco Design choose its materials?

We choose materials for the right reasons. For example, we use High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) made from waste streams and high-quality veneers that use solid timber sparingly. HDF’s stability allows us to create durable joints like mitres, which are less prone to splitting compared to solid timber.

Does Naco Design use locally sourced materials?

We prioritize sourcing materials locally to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation.

Does Naco Design offer furniture repair or servicing?

Our local manufacturing facility has been servicing customers for over two decades. We offer stripping back and refinishing services to give your furniture some TLC, making it look brand new.

What makes Naco Design’s delivery eco-friendly?

We currently do not use any packaging materials such as plastics, foams, or cardboard. All deliveries are handled with care by our furniture movers, directly from our factory, reducing the need for packaging.

How does Naco Design use solar power in its operations?

All of our sites are solar powered and we will continue to invest in this sustainable form of power
