Forbo is not for every customer:

Surface Scratches, Inclusions and Discolouration

Linoleum is crafted from natural raw materials like linseed oil, cork, and wood flour, which can occasionally result in minor inclusions or subtle colour variations. These small, natural markings are inherent to the material and cannot be completely eliminated. Small inclusions are characteristic of linoleum and should be appreciated as natural elements, much like the grain in wood, rather than flaws. In the supply chain, it’s common for surface scratching to occur. Scratching will occur in use, and over time a patina will form, much like leather. Certain lighter shades of linoleum, particularly Pure Linoleum, may deepen in colour over time, reflecting the organic beauty of materials that mature gracefully.  If you are looking for a desktop surface that will arrive and remain in a pristine state, we recommend considering our Formica Desktop options instead, as they offer a highly durable finish with minimal ageing characteristics.

Forbo Aroma

The distinctive scent comes from the natural linseed oil used in the linoleum’s production. This subtle fragrance is most noticeable when the furniture is first unpacked but will gradually fade within a few weeks.

Yellowish Tint

During the curing process, linoleum can develop a temporary yellowish cast known as “drying room yellowing.” This effect, more noticeable in lighter shades, is a normal characteristic that fades with exposure to direct sunlight. If the surface is partially covered by objects like monitors or mouse pads, this yellowing may recur but will quickly diminish once exposed to natural light. Note that this effect cannot be removed through cleaning, as only sunlight can restore the original colour.

Edge Profile: Our standard chamfered edges add an elegant touch, but straight edges are available through customisation.

Thickness: Each desk is a solid 25mm, offering durability and stability.

Length: We offer desktops up to 240cm long. For lengths of 190cm or more, we recommend adding a support beam.

Corner Radius: Rounded corners are available in three radii options.

Finish: Birch ply edges are smoothly sanded and finished with Danish oil, while the Forbo top offers a beautiful, soft-to-touch surface that is tactile for writing and drawing.
