Each Nexart piece is finished by hand with professional, food-safe premium hard-oil — allowing the colour to soak into the wood fibres rather than sitting as a surface coating — giving a natural, tactile luxury for the senses.
Certain finishes can also be formulated for outdoor resilience — on request.
Our colour palette is presented on European oak.
Please note — these tones are reference expressions, not rigid codes.
Every tree grows under different light, soil and climate.
Even within the same species, natural shade, grain density and fibre structure can shift subtly — and those nuances will influence the way each pigment, oil and light reflection reveals itself.
This is not variability — this is the soul of real hardwood.
