The Ukrainian company WOODSUN, whose name combines wood and the sun, has developed several collections of furniture for outdoor use: on the balcony and terrace, in the garden, and by the pool. WOODSUN is a full-cycle company that carefully controls all stages of the process: from the purchase of Ukrainian oak and ash wood in a certified nursery, to drying, oiling, and manual assembly.

The Lugano Garden furniture set consists of a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, coffee and press tables and gives you the comfort of a Swiss mountain resort. For lovers of the Scandinavian style, WOODSUN created the Scandinavia Garden set, which is similar in functionality to Lugano Garden. Comfortable and functional sun loungers California Lounge and Chalet Lounge are responsible for a special level of relaxation. The brand also offers lounge chairs, swing chairs, and many other pieces of furniture.
At the beginning of January 2023, WOODSUN furniture from the Lugano collection arrived in Riga and is displayed in the floating Gallery of architecture, art, and universal design, moored in the waters of the Daugava river near the AB dam. The inspiration for the creation of the Lugano collection was the coastal landscape of the famous lake in Switzerland, where a pair of Latvian geniuses, Rainis and Aspazija, lived and worked in 1915-1920.

There are no right angles in the items presented in the collection, but there is an ecological material that provides hardness, strength, and beauty of texture. The Lugano garden set includes a two-seater sofa, two armchairs, coffee and press tables, as if transporting you to the Swiss region of Ticino.
The mystery of the coffee-chocolate color and the special strength of the wood lies in the unique technology. In the first stage, the wood is treated with an antiseptic, which allows to get rid of bacteria and other microorganisms that live in the pores of a living tree. This is followed by a primer with a special solution to block the pores. And, finally, the third phase - coating with Danish oil, on a specific brand of which the furniture makers came up with an empirical method. The most important component of the furniture manufacturing process is heat treatment, which gives the originally dark oak and ash a final noble chocolate-coffee shade and resistance to temperature changes - the wood repels water and does not deform even after long-term use. &ldquo;After such processing, our wood can be compared to a rare teak - it is in no way inferior, and in certain aspects even surpasses it,&rdquo; say the masters of WOODSUN with pride.
Before the war, WOODSUN furniture makers worked only in Ukraine. Currently, interest in the brand is shown in Poland and the Czech Republic, but the first EU country where Ukrainian products were noticed and appreciated was Latvia. Latvian modular house manufacturers are going to use WOODSUN products in the interior of floating modular houses and offer them in the EU countries, USA, and worldwide.

No surprise, the Ukrainian collection got high evaluation by the Baltic partners.
"For Lithuanians and Latvians, oak symbolizes hardness, strength and power - and Ukrainian furniture fully corresponds to this definition. We appreciate the sense of elegance inherent in the furniture of the brand, as well as the treatment of holes and surfaces not with varnish, but with linseed oil. If a scratch appears, it's no big deal. A little oil rub and you're good to go. As soon as I saw this furniture, I immediately understood: my mirrors, shelves and wooden sculpture will fit perfectly into such an interior," - shares his impressions the Lithuanian wood sculptor Rytis Zavickas.
Guntars Berzinsh, chairman of the board of the Ponton.LV company specializing in the manufacture of pontoons sees Ukrainian furniture on the terraces and in the interiors of modular houses on the water: &ldquo;The items from this collection are suitable for both an ordinary house and one equipped in accordance with the requirements of a universal design and the &lsquo;Modul for All&rsquo; project. We already had a successful experience of cooperation with Ukrainian partners - and now a new interesting continuation followed. With a high aesthetic quality, this furniture is particularly resistant to water and frost, so everything will be in order with demand. It remains to wish the same resilience to the Ukrainian people - on the battlefields and in the rear.

Valdis Bishers, an expert on legal aspects of the use of houseboats, fell in love with the WOODSUN design armchair at first sight: &ldquo;The main thing in furniture is a harmonious combination of functionality and aesthetics. So that the object pleases the eye as a work of art and at the same time remains easy to use and maintain, strong and reliable. This furniture can be used in the summer in the garden and on the terrace, and all year round in the interior of a house or apartment. I must admit that I was especially hooked by the multifunctional lounge chair. It is ideal for relaxing on the terrace in summer and by the fireplace in winter.&rdquo;
"Before meeting with Ukrainian furniture, I was a fan of Le Corbusier's classic armchairs," - admits the head of the Knauf Academy Andris Veinbergs. &ndash; "The armchairs of the great architect and designer remain still unsurpassed, but the samples from the WOODSUN collection are also very interesting. Especially when arranging the interiors of modular houses on the water for people with special needs."
