A Unique Textured Wooden Surface
Ridgeline is a wooden, magnet-compatible surface featuring a distinctive textured layer inspired by the ridgeline of the Alps between Bavaria and Italy. Drawing from the raw beauty of split wood and the deep, time-worn hues of bog oak, Ridgeline embraces natural irregularities, paying tribute to the character of weathered timber and aged wood surfaces. Using an innovative technique, Ridgeline creates a three-dimensional structure that constantly reveals new facets depending on the light, offering a dynamic visual and tactile experience. This exceptional surface is the result of extensive research into the potential of wood, integrating an advanced magnet-compatible system that allows for greater flexibility and creative freedom in wood design. Beyond its striking aesthetics, Ridgeline also enhances acoustic properties, making it an ideal choice for crafting pleasant sound environments suitable for both traditional and contemporary spaces.
Showcasing Innovation Through Collaboration
Torben Hansen, founder of Schotten & Hansen, says:
"We are very excited to present Ridgeline in Milan as part of two new exclusive partnerships with Bodo Sperlein and Janua; both leading German design brands who share our ethos of quality and craftsmanship. Ridgeline is the result of our research and development into the possibilities of wood, and its innovative magnetic-compatible system allows greater flexibility and options when installing wood finishes."
Ridgeline and a collaborative wooden wall system will take center stage in German designer Bodo Sperlein’s MENU installation, where large-scale wood veneer-paneled screens with a fluid, organic pattern will encircle the exhibition space, creating an immersive design experience.
In a second exciting collaboration, we are partnering with German furniture brand Janua to launch the T-Rox series – a collection of coloured tables and sideboards based on the NCS colour System, accompanied by the innovative Ridgeline wall system. The integration of Ridgeline’s magnet-compatible technology within this collection results in vibrant, tactile designs that celebrate the shared values of both brands: innovation, authenticity, and an unwavering commitment to material excellence.
