Finish Options
European oak
European oak is a durable hardwood known for its beautiful grain pattern and neutral to warm undertones. It often features subtle knots and natural variation, giving it character while still maintaining a refined, high-end appearance.
Zebrano
Zebrano is known for its striking striped grain pattern, featuring alternating light and dark bands. Its bold, linear appearance makes it highly distinctive and visually dynamic. Each panel becomes a design feature on its own.
Teak
Teak is valued for its warm golden-brown colour and smooth, straight grain. It naturally contains oils that make it resistant to moisture and humidity, which contributes to its durability. Over time, teak can mellow into a softer, slightly deeper tone.
Ebony
Ebony is extremely dark, often appearing nearly black with subtle grain detail. It delivers a dramatic, refined aesthetic that feels bold and architectural. The smooth texture and depth of colour make it ideal for statement cabinetry.
Wenge
Wenge is known for its dramatic, deep brown colour that can appear almost black. Its straight, fine grain gives it a sleek and sophisticated presence, making it a striking choice for modern cabinetry. The bold tone creates strong contrast when paired with light countertops or metal accents.
Fir
Fir is a softwood with a straight grain and warm, natural tone. It often features visible knots and character marks that give it a casual, organic appearance. Fir brings warmth and authenticity, especially in rustic settings.
