​​Your Thos. Moser furniture is made from premium hardwood provided by nature. The unique characteristics and the subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Great care is taken to skillfully match the individual boards that make up every piece of our furniture.

Our furniture is finished with oil and lacquer. After each piece of furniture is carefully hand-sanded, it receives a coat of our proprietary oil blend. A day’s drying time is allowed, and the piece is lightly sanded, ready for the final finish.

After oiling, our pieces are finished with catalyzed lacquer. This finish is water, solvent, and household chemical resistant and does not require routine maintenance.

To clean, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. When necessary, furniture can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Re-wipe any remaining moisture immediately with a dry cloth.

Like every piece in our Edo Collection, the Edo Bench walks a fine line between substance and space. With four stout legs that taper as they rise, the bench presents a clear sense of lasting strength. Like the Asian influences that informed the design – and the Moser tradition of practicality and economy – the substance of the Edo Bench is augmented by its openness. The meticulous joinery of the legs eliminates the need for spreaders, lending the bench a lightness that contrasts artfully with its structure.

The rear leg of the bench rises beyond the plane of the seat in a carved arc that supports a simple, solid, hand-carved crest. The height is carefully considered and provides abundant support for the bench's occupants.

The seat of the Edo Bench provides another demonstration of intentional design. Crafted of two matching wooden planks, the front plank is slightly canted, securing the sitter's position, while adding a further measure of comfort.
