STAGES OF PRODUCTION

WOOD SELECTION

The production process starts from the material selection. The furniture production at Desires implies a careful selection of high quality seasoned wood and an accurate wood processing work of our artisans.

Only the precious wood species are used in the production: noble types of rose wood, mahogany, oak and ash-tree; also for inlays and veneer exclusively selected materials are used: radica (the part of the tree close to the root), walnut, ash-tree, mahogany that make the furniture surface elegant and refined.

WOOD CARVING

More fine carving means more attractive piece of furniture. At the next stage our experienced craftsmen prepare the raw hand-carved furniture items.

This stages takes more time and patience. The whole wood-carving process is entirely handmade and is carried out with the use of traditional carpenter’s tools.

INLAYS

On table tops, anterior surfaces of consoles and other parts of furniture charming marquetry inlays from various materials are realized: little pieces of different types of wood, marble and mother-of-pearl are inlaid into the wooden surface composing a lavish palette of colours and variety of wood textures.

The carving and laying inlay technique is called Marquetry and is performed manually. Afterwards the inlaid surfaces are polished, smoothed with a special paste and placed under a heavy press for 2 days. The wooden furniture is ready for finishing.

FINISHING

The prepared unpolished carved or plain wooden furniture pieces are passed to the finishing workshop. Most of the finishing process is carried out by hand, When colouring and finishing the furniture compositions with special spray diffusers the craftsmen make sure that the color is as much as possible equal to the finish sample chosen by the client. We have state of the art finishing plant including paint booth and heating system.

GOLD LEAF

It’s time to add some splendor to the furniture with the use of gold, silver, bronze and other types of leaf. As the whole production process the gilding is done manually: the craftsmen apply a special glue on the decorated surface and cover it with a fine piece of gold (silver etc.) leaf. Afterwards with a special stiff brush the tiny pieces of gild are knocked into the wooden surface. According to the amount of shine and the density of golden decoration desired by the client the artisans use from 2-3 up to dozens of gold leaf layers in this procedure.

HAND PAINTING

At the next stage of furniture decoration at Desires our artists manually paint the furniture realizing the most innermost dreams of the customers. Traditional motives appear on the wardrobe doors and lively flower patterns blossom out on the table tops. Our artists would draw whatever the client requests on the furniture surface.

TOP COAT

We use different kinds of coatings as per client demand. That includes nitrocellulose wood sealers and lacquers for Matte and Clear Finishes and polyurethane hardeners and epoxy coatings as top coat for ultra glossy look and durability. The lacquered furniture proceeds to the drying stage in controlled environment.
