Made-to-order: This Dialekt piece is made-to-order, handcrafted in Denmark with care and precision, ensuring sustainable, high-quality furniture tailored to you; production typically takes 6-12 weeks, and while we cannot accept returns on custom pieces, we’re here to resolve any issues promptly, delivering a slower, more intentional approach to design.
Material: The Elmwood can alternate from light grey/whitish to medium reddish-brown. With its interlocking grains and colors, Elmwood has great strength, durability, toughness, and hardness. The wood is a natural material and therefore various degrees of knots, fillers, and other irregularities should be expected. Bed slat and mattress dimensions are not universal. If you intend to use your own slats or a certain mattress, we recommend consulting with us first to ensure compatibility with the frame.
Please note: Bed slat and mattress dimensions are not universal. If you intend to use your own slats or a certain mattress, we recommend consulting with us first to ensure compatibility with the frame. Mattress depth 10 cm with bed slats & 12 cm without bed slats

Duties & Taxes
For EU countries, local VAT is included in all prices (e.g., Denmark includes 25% VAT).
For orders outside the EU, VAT, duties, and taxes are not included and may be charged upon delivery, in accordance with local customs regulations. DIALEKT ships according to Incoterm DAP (Delivered At Place) — meaning you are responsible for any additional fees required to clear customs.
Dialekt does not cover costs resulting from customs delays, unpaid duties, or storage. We recommend checking with your local customs office before placing an order.

Materials & Care
Dialekt works with a limited selection of materials chosen for their structural integrity, surface honesty, and ability to age with use. No coatings are applied to hide behaviour. No finishes are used to freeze time.
This guide outlines how our materials respond to use—and how to care for them without interfering with their natural lifecycle.
Aluminium
Dialekt aluminium components are used in a raw, untreated state. The surface is neither painted nor lacquered.
Material behaviour
- High structural strength with low weight
- Naturally corrosion-resistant
- Will develop fine scratches and tonal variation through handling
- Surface appearance changes with light, touch, and time
These marks are expected and form part of the object’s visual depth.
Care
- Clean with a soft, dry cloth
- Use a lightly damp cloth for heavier dirt
- Dry immediately after cleaning
Avoid
- Abrasive pads or powders
- Acidic or alkaline cleaners
- Polishing compounds or steel wool
No maintenance is required. The surface is allowed to evolve.
Oiled Wood
Oiled wood is finished to protect the material while preserving tactility and grain definition. The oil penetrates the surface without sealing it.
Material behaviour
- Warm surface with visible grain structure
- Sensitive to liquids and grease
- Will patinate gradually with exposure to light and use
Grain variation, tone shifts, and minor irregularities are inherent to natural wood.
Care
- Dust regularly with a dry cloth
- Wipe spills immediately
- Dry the surface after cleaning
- Maintain stable indoor humidity when possible
Maintenance
- Re-oil when the surface appears dry or uneven
-
Typically 1–2 times per year, depending on use
Use a neutral oil intended for the specific wood and oil previously used. Apply sparingly and remove excess. Reach out to the Customer Care team for more information.
Avoid
- Standing water
- Harsh household cleaners
- Direct heat on the surface
Wood (General / No surface treatment)
Some Dialekt products use wood with minimal or no surface treatment. This allows the material to respond freely to its environment.
Material behaviour
- Changes in colour over time
- Increased sensitivity to moisture and friction
- Surface marks occur more easily than on treated wood
These changes are not defects but part of the material’s lifespan.
Care
- Clean with a dry or lightly damp cloth
- Avoid excessive moisture
- Maintain stable indoor humidity when possible
Long-term
- Light sanding can refresh the surface
- Optional oiling may be added later for increased protection
Ageing & Use
Dialekt objects are not designed to remain visually static. Patina, surface marks, and tonal shifts are a result of use—not wear in the conventional sense. Care is about maintaining function while allowing time to remain visible.
