the elegance of light wood.
Ash wood is distinguished by its very light color , with an almost white appearance. Its discreet tone-on-tone veins and slightly more chestnut in the heart make it a wood particularly appreciated in the world of Nordic decoration.

Furthermore, it is a hard and resistant wood species that is hardly affected by the effects of time and light. It will therefore last for many years.
The Oak,
a timeless and classic wood.

Walnut is a noble and precious wood whose elegance allows for the creation of unique boards and shelves of exceptional beauty . Its dense grain is distinguished by marked curves that make this species unique.
This elegant wood is distinguished by its nuances , which are generally a very recognizable chocolate-hazelnut , but they sometimes extend to boards tending towards purple-brown which are quite original. Likewise, the sap zone and the veins of the Walnut can be more or less pronounced depending on the boards , so that each board is always unique .
Walnut is used in every room of the house, on very light or very dark walls, which will highlight it with a sublime play of contrast. Lovers of dark wood looking to create a luxurious interior will be seduced by this species, which is unlike any other.

Smoked Larch,
an elegant and warm wood.

The color of this wood varies slightly depending on the heat treatment, oscillating between a light brown and a slightly dark brown . Our cabinetmakers meticulously select each log of wood, favoring lighter shades to accentuate its natural charm.
