Bøg

(Fagus sylvatica)

Vores hårdeste træsort, bøg, er kendetegnet ved en imponerende styrke og et behageligt ensartet udseende.

Bøgetræet er udbredt i store dele af Centraleuropa og er hyppigt anvendt som tømmer. Historisk set er træsorten blevet brugt som byggemateriale, men den har også spillet en vigtig rolle inden for kunsten: For flere hundrede år siden brugte de store kunstmalere brændt bøgetræ til at lave en brunlig sot, der fungerede som maling til deres værker. I dag benyttes den robuste og slidstærke træsort i fremstillingen af en lang række produkter, herunder som trærammer til vores polstrede møbler.

Bøgs popularitet skyldes i høj grad træets hårdhed. Hos Carl Hansen & Søn bruger vi kun kerneveddet fra bøgen, så vores møbler bliver så robuste og slidstærke som muligt. Udover sin hårdhed er bøg kendt for sin ensartede struktur fri for tydelige årringe og de mørkebrune, kommaformede aftegninger på den lyse, rødbrune overflade.

A natural fit for finishes

Beech lends itself well to treatments and finishes because its trademark hardness and smooth, homogenous surface allow for a neat and even distribution. As the preferred choice for paint, beech was selected for a special edition series, which saw the Wishbone Chair dressed in non-toxic, water-based paint in an earthy palette of colours selected by Ilse Crawford.

Because untreated beech is easy to maintain, it is the preferred wood for our children’s furniture. Once the piece has been assembled in its new home, it can be soaped and sanded down to enhance its beauty.

Information about beech

Qualities in furniture production

Beech is a very hard wood type and the hardest wood type in the Carl Hansen & Søn range.

Beechwood has a very homogeneous surface, structure and hardness, which means that the wood does not absorb the paint when surface-treated, but the paint is distributed neatly and evenly on the surface.

At Carl Hansen & Søn, beech is also used for wooden frames and upholstery frames due to its high strength characteristics.

 

Origin

Beech grows naturally throughout Europe and especially Central Europe.

Carl Hansen & Søn only uses FSC-certifiedÒ(FSC-C135991) beech from responsible partners.

 

Growth & size

The beech tree can grow up to 40 metres in height and 2 metres in diameter.

The wood species is relatively accessible due to the large trunk with good opportunities to utilise all the wood.

 

Hardness

Beech is a hardwood species.

The weight of the wood may vary, but the mean weight is approximately 680 kg/m³.

Appearance

At Carl Hansen & Søn, we only use the heartwood of beech.

Beechwood has a reddish-brown colour in an untreated, lightly evaporated state.

With beech, it is not easy to see growth rings and the structure of the wood is thus very uniform.

Beech can be recognised by the dark brown, comma-shaped flecks in the wood.

At Carl Hansen & Søn, we prioritise the careful sorting of all our wood – wood that is uneven or exhibits colour difference is surface-treated and the most solid-coloured wood is treated with oil or soap.

 

Surface treatment

At Carl Hansen & Søn, we surface treat beech with soap, lacquer, oil and water-based paints.

Surface-treating the wood ensures a beautiful surface, additional durability and easy cleaning.

Since the colour of the wood ages with exposure to light, its appearance changes over time. Beech will eventually acquire a darker tone.

At Carl Hansen & Søn, we lacquer beech in all our standard colours, and the surface is smooth with minimal structure due to the dense and fine-pored wood structure.
