SURFACES

“Take any tree, you have two ways to make a single piece: knock down all the others, or Haute Material”.

Antique woods

ANTIKE HÖLZER | BOIS ANTIQUES

The quality of antique surfaces is preserved through the recovery of beams and other precious wooden elements. After a careful selection, the most valuable wood is subjected to a meticulous, “hand made” restoration and cleaning, in order to avoid any alteration of the original quality, while removing splinters on surface.

Heat-treated woods

THERMOBEHANDELTE HÖLZER | BOIS THERMO-TRAITÉS

Heat-treatment is the best way to obtain improved features in our wood, keeping it completely chemical free, adding dynamic stability and a range of outstanding colors that characterize the wood.

Steamed woods

GEDÄMPFTE HÖLZER | BOIS ÉVAPORÉS

Evaporation treatment is carried out by applying steam to the piece of wood, which absorbs moisture and becomes softer and evens out the colour. Staying in contact with water vapour at over 90° for less than or more than 24 hours allows for colour homogenization and/or colour variation towards darker shades.

Burned woods

FLAMMEN-BEHANDELTE HÖLZER | BOIS TRAITÉS À LA FLAMME

Carefully controlled fire burns the wood on the surface: through this technique the wood is charred to create a unique and beautiful finish with unique color. The wood is subsequently brushed to bring out the underlying color, creating a rare texture.

Carved woods

GEMEIßELTE HÖLZER | BOIS SCULPTÉS

Carving – usually on heat-treated wood – is an original technique , with a combination of mechanical process and handmade work. The union of machine work and craftsmanship of skilled artisans generates unique textures of a strong aesthetic impact.

Mosaic woods

MOSAIC WOODS | MOSAIK-HÖLZER

Continuous research and development of new techniques for the recovery of wood has led us to develop this new method of assembling various wood elements. “Mosaic” is the composition technique that our company has optimized for the manufacturing of unique panels, elegant and highly recognizable.

Natural woods

Woods from Europe, living matter, able to express themselves to our senses by scent, color and touch. Natural wood remains the focus point of our design idea.

Finishes

Surface finishes, deep expertise: the uniqueness of a material lies not only in its essence, but also in the competence and care with which you can work it. Finishes developed by our carpenters result in great textures and exclusive surfaces, with an handmade look.

“Surface finishes, deep expertise”
