Bring the references together

Finish board

Save your chosen configurations to a finish board and compare the chosen finishes side by side.

Start a finish board →

Find your way into the room

Give the visual idea a practical next step.

Begin with a silhouette

Look at the back, arms and visible frame before choosing the finish. Then check the proportions against the table or counter where the piece will be used.

Explore chair shapes →

Consider the surface and its support

The tabletop and base both contribute to the composition. Check their materials alongside the seating, then confirm the pairing and mounting details.

Find a table for the palette →

Gather the actual references

Save selected finishes with their products and group them by room. The board keeps the references visible while you review how the pieces work together.
