Salted Wood Surfaces

Experience the perfect blend of innovation and craftsmanship with our Salted Wood Surfaces, handcrafted in Berlin. By leveraging the natural osmosis effects of salt, we create extraordinary wooden surfaces featuring unique patterns and vibrant colors. Each design is formed as salt draws pigment into the wood’s natural grain, emphasizing its organic beauty. The process, influenced by the type of salt, humidity, and reaction time, ensures every piece is truly one of a kind. These surfaces are available in various colors and patterns, perfect for furniture, panels, or full boards.

Protected by durable PU lacquer, Salted Artwood Surfaces are liquid-resistant, fire-resistant, and hygienic, making them practical and beautiful. They’re easy to clean, safe for food contact, and free from harmful substances. Whether you’re designing furniture or statement pieces, these innovative surfaces combine functionality and artistry to transform any space.
