Melalui pengeksplorasian kekuatan dan kekasaran alam, Maritime Pine dan Japanese Cedar mengutilisasi kulit kayu sebagai bentuk komunikasi yang mewujudkan esensi material menjadi karakter yang menawan.
Maritime Pine mereproduksi kulit kayu dengan segmen-segmen dari bentuk tak teratur, yang terentang mulai dari nuansa warna kemerahan yang hangat hingga sentuhan abu-abu muda.
Sementara pohon cedar, yang merupakan simbol umur panjang dan keagungan, memiliki kulit kayu yang bervariasi dari merah ke cokelat. Inilah yang direproduksi secara apik oleh Japanese Cedar.
