VELKO Wardrobes
Inspired by a feeling of being welcome.
For us, sustainability does not start with production, but as early as in the development of ideas for new collections. Unique pieces can only be created by focusing on durability and a timeless design that you want to keep for a lifetime. There is therefore no better source of inspiration for our designers than nature.
Velko is derived from the Danish word “Velkommen” – and this is how everyone who walks into your new reception area immediately feels. This special closet program sees us combine Umato smoked heartwood oak with white lacquered solid birch. Due to its thin mitered carcass, we can mill particularly filigree carcass edges. The resulting look seems almost fragile, but it still has a totally solid impact. The natural water-based varnish does not just protect the surfaces of your new closet piece, it also protects the environment. Welcome Mother Nature to your own home!

Umato oak heartwood
For manufacturing our Umato heartwood oak surfaces, planks of wood are first selected from the heartwood area of the oak trunk. These heartwood planks depict typical characteristics, e.g. heartwood splits and splay knots. The assorted products are then stored before drying for several days in a special chamber where they pass through a smoking process. During this process, the wood is solid coloured and as a result, it gains an even dark colouring. The character of old oak logs emerges.
Oak heartwood is a traditional furniture wood. Umato oak heartwood becomes slightly lighter as it ages. This is hardly noticeable because the change happens so slowly.
Two layers of very matt UV water-based paint are applied to the intensively brushed wood. The surface is sanded down after every procedure. Wax is applied as the last layer.
