The Apeiron is built from premium lumber and refined with carefully selected finishing products. Together, these materials demand precise, time‑intensive methods to achieve the level of craftsmanship expected of a premium piece.
Lumber
The lumber used in the Apeiron is sourced from two trusted suppliers to ensure the exacting quality and characteristics demanded by its craftsmanship. Only boards that meet NHLA (National Hardwood Lumber Association) highest grade FAS, are selected to make the base. This ensures wide, defect-free clear boards are used.
Circular Base
The base of the Apeiron uses kiln dried white oak which is locally sourced from a family run lumber store.
Helices
The helices of the Apeiron use white oak sourced from the only supplier in the United States that produces wood for extreme wood bending.
To ensure the stability of the double helix design, each helix undergoes a controlled drying process to reach a target moisture content before being reacclimated to its environment. The duration of this step varies depending on several factors, but because it is critical to the integrity of the final piece, the process is never rushed—whatever time is required will be taken.
Finish
Rubio Monocoat Wood Cleaner is used prior to the application of finish to the Apeiron. This ensures the surface is completely free of dust, natural oils, and handling residues while opening the wood pores. Proper cleaning is especially important — it prevents uneven absorption, enhances color depth, and guarantees the finish cures uniformly for long‑term stability and elegance.
Rubio Monocoat Oil Plus 2C Pure is a premium, eco‑friendly, VOC‑free finish that enhances the natural elegance of wood while providing long‑lasting protection. Engineered to bond at the molecular level with the wood fibers, it delivers a single‑coat application that preserves the sculptural clarity of tight radius bends without masking the grain. Once applied it will take 5-7 days to fully cure. This finish ensures a satin‑matte sheen that accentuates the flowing geometry while safeguarding against seasonal wood movement and everyday use.
