Pine planks “Shou Sugi Ban” by Havwoods

# Selected innovations from Innovations@DOMOTEX
Parquet and laminate floors

Tropical woods with globally recognized certification and wooden flooring with a used look were clear trends among the Innovations@DOMOTEX 2017. Many companies make use of wooden surfaces in their new products, which look like they have grown naturally and boast a pleasant, three-dimensional feel. Parquet flooring is offered in a broad range of dimensions and woods, with a high level of design quality.

Patched-up knot-holes and uneven surfaces create the raw aesthetic of **“Antique Rustic Decking”,** which is being exhibited by Peruvian company **Pacific Wood**. The 100% FSC-certified tropical wood is worked manually in the country of origin, with the aim of securing jobs there. Another Peruvian exhibit: the **“Munay Deck”** outdoor planks by **Maderera Río Acre**. They are manufactured from small wooden strips, which form an intriguingly structured surface and would otherwise end up as waste. With **“Medieval Castle”**, Polish manufacturer **Baltic Wood** presents a wooden floor with a used look, which convinces thanks to the extraordinary width of its fishbone elements and can be laid quickly.

Lively patterns are brought to flooring by British firm **Havwoods** and **Abovo Wood** from Lithuania. With its new exhibit **“Shou Sugi Ban”**, the company is presenting strongly color-contrasting pine planks that are also suitable for furniture construction. **“Minoa”** from **Abovo Wood** adds an almost royal touch with the perfect craftsmanship of its brass details. The inlays consist of one sole laser-cut brass part, which is fitted flush with the wood so there are no sharp edges. (he)
