Yes, absolutely. Our wooden urban outdoor furniture is treated exclusively with non-toxic, eco-friendly finishes that prioritize both human health and environmental sustainability. We understand that urban outdoor spaces—parks, plazas, café terraces, and residential balconies—are high-traffic areas where people of all ages, including children and pets, come into direct contact with the furniture. Therefore, we have deliberately avoided harsh chemical sealants, varnishes, or paints containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), heavy metals, or biocides.
Instead, we use a combination of natural plant-based oils, such as linseed or tung oil, and water-based acrylic sealants that are certified low-VOC or zero-VOC. These finishes penetrate deep into the wood grain, providing robust protection against moisture, UV radiation, and fungal decay without forming a toxic film on the surface. For enhanced durability in outdoor urban environments, we also incorporate a proprietary blend of natural waxes—like carnauba or beeswax—which repel water and dirt while allowing the wood to breathe, preventing internal rot and cracking.
All finishes we apply meet or exceed stringent international safety standards, including EN 71-3 (toy safety) for heavy metal content and AgBB criteria for indoor air quality, which are also relevant for semi-outdoor urban spaces. Importantly, these finishes are non-leaching, meaning they will not release harmful substances into the surrounding soil or water when the furniture is exposed to rain or humidity. Moreover, the finishes are skin-safe and non-allergenic, making them suitable for prolonged contact.
We also conduct regular third-party testing to ensure the finishes remain non-toxic throughout the furniture’s lifecycle, including after years of sun exposure and temperature fluctuations. If a piece ever requires refinishing, we provide guidance on reapplying the same safe, plant-based or water-based products, ensuring long-term safety and sustainability.
In summary, our wooden urban outdoor furniture is not only aesthetically pleasing and weather-resistant but also completely safe for people, animals, and the planet—because we believe that outdoor living should never compromise health. Choose our furniture with confidence, knowing that every coat of finish is as clean as the air we hope you enjoy while sitting on it.
