LUYA Projects
MANUFACTURING & MATERIALS

We choose materials for the real load of use.

A coffee table that lasts years at home can wear out in a few months in a hotel lobby. In contract furniture, materials are chosen for intensity of use, cleaning regime and spec requirements as much as for looks.

Materials we work with

Wood

Solid wood, natural and engineered veneer, lacquer. Panels and adhesives selected for humidity and temperature changes.

Metal

Steel, stainless and aluminium; powder coat, PVD coating and patina finishes.

Stone & surfaces

Marble, travertine, compact laminate and sintered surfaces. Graded for stain and scratch resistance.

Upholstery

Contract-grade fabric, leather and faux leather. Removable covers and replaceable foam.

Glass & mirror

Tempered and laminated glass, smoked and bronze mirror, integrated LED lighting.

Hardware

Commercial-grade hinges, runners and locks; brands with spare parts readily available.

Specifications and documentation

Hotel chains, airports and public projects often call for specific standards. We select materials to whatever the project spec requires and add supplier test reports to the handover file.

Fire

Upholstery fabric and fillings meeting the target country's requirements, such as EN 1021, BS 5852 or CAL 117.

Abrasion

Martindale rating for upholstery fabric, and scratch and stain resistance for surfaces, set per project.

Emissions

Low-formaldehyde panels (E1 and lower classes) and water-based paint options.

Documentation

Every project is handed over with a material list, test documents and a care and cleaning guide.

In our workshop

From workshop to site

Production runs from approved technical drawings. The first-off piece is checked before serial production, photo progress reports are shared throughout, and shipments are labelled by room or area. So on site, nobody argues about which piece goes where.
