Each panel is built with a solid frame, a large recessed inner field, and a restrained horizontal rail that subtly structures the surface. The result reads as a minimalist wall object, yet with real depth thanks to the pronounced wood grain.

Dimensions (per panel): height 64 cm, width 88 cm, depth 3 cm.

The front shows a dark, deeply matured surface with warm reddish-brown undertones and lively flame-like figuring that varies from board to board. In raking light, fine signs of use and a soft sheen appear, giving the panels a rich, lived-in character.

In the home, these panels are surprisingly versatile: as a duo above a sideboard or low cabinet, as a wide wall panel behind a sofa, or as a quiet backdrop to style ceramics, textiles, or art. They also work beautifully in a shop, studio, or hospitality space as a warm, graphic background element that adds atmosphere without demanding attention. See less
