Materials & Care
Our philosophy
At Isle of Dogs Design, we attach great importance to the careful selection of high-quality materials, environmentally friendly production and a transparent and fair value chain.
Our goal is to ensure the longevity and unique quality of our products so that you can enjoy our children's furniture, textiles and accessories for many years and even pass them on to future generations.
To maximize the lifespan of our products, we offer comprehensive care instructions, straightforward customer service and convenient repair options.
The Basis
Wood as a natural raw material
Beech wood is a robust and durable material that stands out due to its natural properties. The natural tannins contribute to the hygiene and durability of the wood. With its clearly defined grain, beech wood is ideal for high-quality furniture.
Our wood comes predominantly from sustainably managed forests in Europe. We attach great importance to the fact that our wood is carefully selected and processed by hand.
Our wood meets the highest standards. We offer you products that impress not only with their beauty and functionality, but also with their durability and sustainability.
5-year warranty
Our top priority is to design and manufacture exceptional products that will last for generations. To achieve this, we work closely with talented designers, experienced craftsmen and certified partners. This commitment to the highest quality results in us offering a 5-year guarantee on all of our furniture and accessories.
The addition
Breathable cotton
Cotton is ideal for children's textiles. Its natural softness ensures a pleasant wearing experience, which is particularly important for children's sensitive skin. Cotton is also extremely breathable.
We use Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton, which is grown according to strict ecological and social standards. This certification guarantees the absence of harmful chemicals and protects biodiversity and resources. Organic cotton promotes soil health and reduces water consumption, which minimizes environmental impact.
With this choice, we actively contribute to environmental protection while offering skin-friendly, safe textiles.
Do you have any questions about caring for our products?
extend the life of furniture
If you choose high-quality furniture, you will benefit from its greater durability and less susceptibility to wear and tear. Small defects or signs of wear can often be remedied with targeted measures such as refreshing surfaces, tightening screws or replacing damaged parts. Such repairs extend the life of your furniture, so that you can enjoy your existing pieces for longer.
In addition, by repairing furniture you are actively contributing to protecting the environment. The production of new furniture requires considerable amounts of raw materials, energy and water and causes CO2 emissions. By repairing existing furniture instead of buying new, you reduce this environmental impact and conserve valuable resources.
cleaning of wooden surfaces
For daily cleaning of wooden surfaces, we recommend using a slightly damp microfiber cloth and wiping the entire surface evenly. After cleaning, you should immediately wipe the surface with a dry, clean cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
Please do not use cleaning products as these may contain chemical ingredients that may be harmful to children and may also affect the natural properties of the wood and reduce its longevity. For stubborn stains, you can use a mild cleaning product. Please test this on an inconspicuous area first to ensure that the varnish is not damaged.
Washing and care instructions for textiles
To protect the environment, we recommend limiting the amount of washing you do to a healthy level. Only wash textiles when it is really necessary - it is often enough to air them out in the fresh air or to treat specific stains. This not only reduces water and energy consumption, but also extends the life of the materials.
For the washing process, especially for children's textiles, we recommend using environmentally friendly detergent that is free of harmful chemicals. In addition, always pay attention to the care instructions on the labels, especially the recommended maximum temperature, to avoid damage and preserve the quality of the textiles.
The finishing touches
Painted surfaces
Our children's furniture is painted with the utmost care using non-toxic, water-based paint. This not only ensures an attractive appearance, but also puts the safety of your children first.
Water-based paints do not contain harmful chemicals such as solvents that can be found in conventional paints. This reduces the risk of allergies and illnesses and contributes to a healthy indoor climate.
By using non-toxic paint, we guarantee that our furniture is both safe and sustainable, giving you the peace of mind that you are making a conscious choice for the well-being of your children.
