Every Au Bûcheron piece is designed to be lived with over time. To help preserve the quality, comfort, and character of your furniture and ceramics, all products are delivered with a detailed care card specific to the item. We recommend reading this guide carefully before use, as it provides essential information to ensure your piece remains in its best condition for years to come.

Below you will find general guidance for our current collection.

Sofa & Seating Care

Our seating pieces are crafted with carefully selected upholstery and structured interior materials designed for daily living. Regular, gentle care will help maintain both comfort and appearance.

Upholstery

• Vacuum the surface regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and particles.

• Avoid direct exposure to strong sunlight, which may cause fading over time.

• Keep the fabric away from sharp objects that may snag or damage the surface.

• In case of spills, blot immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub, as this may spread the stain or affect the fabric texture.

• For deeper cleaning, we recommend professional upholstery care suited to the fabric type.

Structure & Form

• Rotate sitting positions regularly to ensure even wear.

• Allow vacuum-compressed pieces time to fully expand and settle into their intended shape after unpacking.

• Do not jump or apply excessive force, as this may affect the internal structure.

• Keep seating on a level surface to maintain balance and stability.

Ceramic Care

Each ceramic piece is made in stoneware and finished by hand. Subtle variations in tone, texture, or form are a natural result of the process and part of the character of the piece.

Everyday Use

• Handle with care, as ceramics can chip or crack if dropped or knocked.

• Avoid sudden temperature changes, which may cause stress to the material.

• Clean with mild soap and warm water using a soft cloth or sponge.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that may affect the surface finish.

Placement

• Use protective pads or surfaces when placing ceramics on delicate furniture.

• Keep away from edges where accidental knocks are more likely.

• For decorative vases, ensure stability before adding water or floral arrangements.

Glass Furniture & Décor Care

Our glass pieces are designed to bring lightness, clarity, and refinement to a space. Regular gentle care will help preserve their finish and keep them looking elegant over time.

Everyday Use

• Handle with care, as glass can chip, scratch, or break if knocked or dropped.
• Clean regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dust, fingerprints, and smudges.
• Use a mild glass cleaner or warm water with a small amount of gentle soap. Dry immediately with a clean cloth to avoid water marks.
• Avoid abrasive sponges, rough cloths, or harsh chemicals, as these may scratch or damage the surface.
• Do not place very hot or very cold items directly onto glass surfaces, as sudden temperature changes may cause stress to the material.

Placement & Protection

• Place glass furniture on a level surface to maintain balance and stability.
• Use coasters, placemats, or protective pads beneath decorative objects, tableware, or items with rough bases.
• Avoid dragging objects across the surface, as this may leave scratches.
• Keep glass pieces away from high-traffic edges or areas where accidental knocks are more likely.
• For mirrored or tinted glass, clean gently and avoid excessive moisture around edges or joins to help protect the finish.

General Advice

Natural materials evolve with use. Subtle changes in surface, texture, or finish over time are part of the life of the object and contribute to its character. With thoughtful care and considered placement, your Au Bûcheron piece is intended to remain a lasting part of your home.
