Colour
Our colours are children of nature.
We work with the wood and with natural pigments
to create your desired tone.
The range of natural
pigments is endlessly diverse.
Over decades of research, we have found unique ways of transferring the colours of nature to wood. Our pigments are grown in plants or minerals. They harmonise with the colouration of the wood, developing the finest nuances, changing over time. In complex recipes requiring numerous production steps we adapt the original wood colour to the individual requirements of our customer.
“We refine nature and we know how to create a harmonious and exciting colour effect on wood surfaces, fully meeting individual customer requirements. Keeping things natural does not limit the selection of colours. Natural pigments offer endless variety.”
Mineral
dynamic, clear & strong character
All rocks on our earth consist of minerals. Their structure tells the story of millions of years of geological processes. The bizarre shapes and iridescent colours of their crystals adorn many a piece of jewellery. Ground into fine pigments, we have always used them to add colour accents to wood.
Terra
subtle, earthy & warm
A healthy earth is the source of all growth and flourishing. Looking at warm earth tones creates connection and confidence. Depending on which elements predominate in the soil, the colour spectrum ranges from golden sandy tones to dark brown, almost black earth tones.
Should you be unable to find your desired colour tone here, we will find it together in a personalised meeting. We are happy to advise.
“I am constantly developing new recipes for my colour library, probably the biggest in the world. In addition, I am researching new and better methods to make our products even more durable, so they preserve their value even longer.”
Our surfaces:
aesthetic, robust, durable.
Nature is our template.
Nature is the source of inspiration for our tones. Our colours can be introduced into the wood through a complex, multistep colouring process involving smoking, deep cleaning and the use of natural essences. Pigments penetrate deep into the pores of the wood which creates an incomparable effect on the surface. An effect which endures. That is what sets it apart from superficially applied colours.
We create your colour.
If the right colour tone for your project is not already in our collection, we will find it together. If you already have a sense of the colour direction or material with which the wood colour should fit, we will generate the appropriate colour tone in wood. And what’s special about this: through years of refinement, we offer unparalleled colour possibilities using only natural pigments and natural processes.
The colour is in the wood.
The characteristics and composition of the wood are critical to the colour impression. These depend on the location of the tree, its genetics, the growing region and growth period as well as the nutrient content of the soil. The environmental influences that have affected the tree over the course of its life influence the grain of the veneer, which in turn influences the effect of the colour. Making each product truly unique.
We make use of the natural potential.
By using an appropriate pre-treatment, the wood becomes more resistant to staining and the colour tone more stable. This approach retains the beneficial features of the wood: warmth, elasticity, and vapour permeability; perfect for regulating the indoor climate.
“Each of our colours is permanently locked into the pure wood, freed from minerals and contaminants.
