The choice of conifer wood is currently in vogue – interestingly but also separated from the classic Alpine style. Rather, domestic woods now find themselves again in more highly modern furnishing concepts. The reason for this can be quickly found in two aspects:
The Appearance
Wood, with its unique appearance, gives rooms character - regardless of whether one is focused more on the rustic style or the modern age. The inherent natural appearance of various woods has fascinated people for centuries. Wood remains eternally unique and differs in each and every plank. Characterful features such as knots are a form of expression. That’s precisely why conifers play an increasingly important role. Beautiful, clear colours combine with a lively, yet natural surface appearance.
The Haptics
In addition, fewer and fewer people are looking for a pure wood look. It is important to also feel the wood. Here at mafi we can certainly provide you with one of the most attractive solutions in this branch. The oiled and air dried finishing penetrates deep into the plank without forming a layer on the surface. Thus the robustness comes from inside the plank, and people come into direct contact with the wood - a material that is always body temperature. Conifers are also usually slightly softer than hardwoods, making the brushed surface more noticeable.
Grandiose in Plank form
The Fir Wide-Plank measures at a maximum expression five meters in length and 30cm in width. The imposing planks are a clear statement for any room. The surface was, in this example, brushed and white oiled. In addition, the boards were leached. This concentrated soap, in principle, bleaches the wood and enhances the contrast between early and late wood - intensified as is the grain. The result is a bright plank with clearly visible annual rings. Visible is also exactly what was described at the beginning – real wood, clear structure and a body temperature feel.
