Although Sakura could have been made for one of the great landscape gardens of Japan, it was actually designed for parks and coastlines in the Western world. This elegant bench is crafted from slats of varying widths that form a single curve, creating the seat and backrest in one unit. The legs are grouped in pairs that distribute the bench’s weight laterally rather than anchoring it to either side. Sakura is fully customisable.

Nola's pine is of high quality and comes from sustainable forestry. Pine is an environmentally friendly, domestically produced material. Damaged or untreated pine is quite easily attacked by decomposition processes; therefore, it is particularly important to repair damaged surfaces.
FSC-marked mahogany is a wood with good durability in the outdoor environment. In addition, it retains its color tone better than, for example, oak and teak. Mahogany lives and moves, sometimes more than teak.
FSC-labeled teak is exceptionally durable in an outdoor environment. Teak has a high content of silicon and tannic acids, which makes it quite expensive to process. If you want to keep the reddish-brown luster, you should oil the wood several times during a season, otherwise it turns gray quickly.
Oak is a heavy, hard and medium tough wood. Moderately dimensionally stable in case of moisture changes. Oak wood blackens if it is exposed to moisture or wetness for a long time. However, it does not affect the other properties of the wood. Thanks to its hardness and toughness, the oak wood is suitable for furniture and other use in exposed environments.
Varnishing of wood is done with a water-based varnish. A water-based paint that is kinder to the environment. Under normal use, the paint has a good wear resistance and long durability.
Wood oil provides good protection against the stresses of the outdoor climate and at the same time highlights the wood's natural appearance and properties.
Nola uses high-quality steel with good strength in our products. Steel rusts if left untreated and must therefore be surface treated.
Electrogalvanizing (also known as zinc plating) provides corrosion protection through the sacrifice of zinc ions. It is created via a zinc coating on the steel using an electric current.
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
Cast in ground.
The seat and backrest unit is fully assembled but the legs should be attached with the stainless steel screws provided.
Products in varnished pine must be maintained regularly with alkyd paint. Maintenance intervals approximately 1 time per year. Damage and cracks should be repaired immediately. Touch-up paints in spray packaging are available in standard colors to order.
Oiled oak should be oiled twice a year for best protection. Good maintenance can never completely prevent stains from occurring, but oak that is not maintained will turn blacker and turn gray faster, but it still has a very long life. When re-oiling products, a finely boiled oil that penetrates the wood should be chosen over a film-forming oil. Black stains on oiled oak can be removed with oxalic acid.
Teak should be oiled annually to maintain the brown color. Without maintenance, teak takes on a silver gray color over time.
Oiled mahogany should be oiled two times a year.
Products that are powder-coated can be touch-up painted with alkyd paint.
The slats can be made in oiled teak, oak or alkyd oil enamel on pine. Customised versions are also available. A matching table is available.
