Forêt
Forêt is built from six planks and six patterns in endgrain oak, combined freely by the architect into a surface that feels composed rather than laid, holding together like a forest without ever repeating.
The Story
Composed by 6 different patterns
The Forêt Collection contains 6 different patterns, a playground for architects who can easily personalize compositions.
Finishes
Natural
The FORÊT natural finish provides a nice textured oak that plays with light. A 2 component invisible varnish seals the surface and offers a very high resistance. A highly crafted surface in an uncompromising quality. Adapted for residential, hospitality, and retail projects (usage class 34 and fire rating Cfl-S1)
Smoke
This FORÊT core-smoked finish reveals all-natural brown colors throughout the total depth of the oak. A 2 component invisible varnish seals the surface and contributes to the high resistance. A highly crafted surface in an uncompromising quality. Adapted for residential, hospitality and retail projects (usage class 34 and fire rating Cfl-S1)
Black
The FORÊT black finish celebrates the Japanese burning technique “shou-sugi-ban” revealing a deeply textured black. A 2 component invisible varnish seals the hardened surface and contributes to the high resistance. A highly crafted surface in an uncompromising quality. Adapted for residential, hospitality, and retail projects (usage class 34 and fire rating Cfl-S1)
Applications
Edition and version

The same six patterns and the same freedom to compose, read through the long grain of the oak, in a standard or grand format.
Rosace
Endgrain oak, drawn in a circle.
A spiral in endgrain oak, bent from straight planks into a circle four metres across. It is the slowest floor we build, a centrepiece that becomes the reason a room is arranged around it.
Crafted with Forêt
