Ayush's design studio AKFD is committed to development of ideas using local crafts that have evolved over centuries. His work represents a fusion of unique creativity and uncompromising integrity rare to find in the highly competitive world market. Kasliwal explains: ”Products have their own eco-system.

Mater is one of the few to recognize this, and to engage, in a positive manner with these ecosystems".

Product Care

To maintain the finish quality of your Mater product, please follow the care and cleaning procedures provided below. The instructions for the care and maintenance are provided to you as a service. No warranty is implied since results may vary.

Wood

Lacquered or stained wood

Lacquered or stained wood offers a stronger surface than oiling and is also effective when colored surfaces are desired. Compared to natural or oiled wood, lacquered and stained wood is easier to clean and requires very little maintenance.

For daily care, it is recommended to dust the furniture with a soft cloth. Lacquered and stained wood can be cleaned with a soft cloth wrung in a mild solution of lukewarm water and a universal cleaning detergent. Always follow the wood grains and always dry with a soft dry cloth immediately after cleaning.

Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive cleaning detergents as this will damage the surface of the lacquered or stained wood. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.

Mater always recommends the use of trivets under hot objects, such as coffee pots and cups to prevent the lacquer or stain to react to the heat.

Soaped wood

Soaped wood requires gentle and daily care for not to gain permanent stains. Clean with a slightly damp, soft, lint-free cloth and follow the wood grains, and always dry with a soft dry cloth immediately after cleaning.

In case of stains on soaped wood, lightly sand the surface with sandpaper grade 220 or 240. Then wipe with a dry soft cloth and follow the wood grains and apply the white soap following the wood grains.

Avoid the use of abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive cleaning detergents as this will damage the surface of the lacquered or stained wood. Avoid placing wooden furniture in direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity.

Aluminum

Polished aluminum

A polished aluminum surface is durable and requires very little maintenance. It is recommended only to use a soft dry cloth to clean polished aluminum surfaces or if necessary a soft cloth wrung in lukewarm water can be carefully applied.

In case of large-scale stains; mix 1 tablespoon cream of tartar with one quart of lukewarm water. Apply the mixture to the aluminum with a soft cloth. If necessary scrub gently with a steel wool pad in a back and forth motion. Avoid using a circular motion as this can cause an uneven look. Be cautious not to scrub too hard with the steel wool as this can scratch the aluminum. Finish by applying a little bee wax on the surface to obtain the shine.

Powder coated aluminum

A powder-coated aluminum surface is durable and requires very little maintenance. It is recommended only to use a soft dry cloth to clean powder-coated aluminum surfaces but in case more severe cleaning is necessary, soft cloth wrung in lukewarm water can be carefully applied. Always dry immediately after cleaning with a soft dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning agents or aggressive cleaning detergents on powder-coated surfaces as this may permanently damage the surface.

Stainless steel

Dust stainless steel products for daily care using only a soft dry cloth. Cleaning of stainless steel should be done only by using a cleaning detergent specifically for stainless steel. Cleaning agents not developed specifically for stainless steel may permanently damage the surface of the stainless steel and should never be used.
