Crafted in a bespoke factory in Hungary, this engineered timber collection

takes interiors to elegant new heights, inspired by some of history’s

greatest artists.

The rustic-grade Smoked Oak surface is deeply brushed to reveal the

natural wood grain, and knots and tonal differences are given space to

shine. Together with an undulating surface and original saw-markings,

you have a look reminiscent of hand-cut timber from days gone by. The

layered accents and tonal variations integrate flawlessly into heritage

designs but will also add character to any contemporary home.

The curated palette of five warm, contemporary colours will transform

your spaces into works of art – inspired by legendary artists such as

Picasso, Monet, da Vinci, van Gogh, and Vermeer.

The 250mm extra wide plank offers a 5.5mm extra thick wear layer and

with 4-5 re-sands is made to last. Each extra-long plank is meticulously

crafted to create a timeworn feel, protected by a durable Italian lacquer to

shield it from the sun’s harsh rays, while maintaining a luxurious look and

textural feel underfoot.

It’s never been easier to experience such timeworn, distinctive beauty in

your home – so go ahead and create your masterpiece.

Artiste Picasso Imbue your interior with the individuality of Picasso, a wide plank sandy-toned timber that

emanates luxury, warmth and artisanal mastery. Picasso’s style evolved as he experimented

with form and colour, and this warm, rustic-grade timber is the result of similar innovation. The

timeworn finish and willingness to let each piece of timber shine means each Picasso plank is

wholly distinctive – just like works by the artist himself.

“Each Picasso plank is wholly distinctive – just like works by the artist himself.”

“No matter your interior’s style, Monet’s saturated hues will bring it to life.”

Artiste Monet

Bring the light inside with Monet, a wide plank golden-hued timber that radiates warmth,

texture and artisanal mastery. Monet’s rustic-grade Oak wear layer has been lightly smoked

to slightly darken the wood colour, enhance the grain pattern and increase colour variation.

Just as natural light meant everything to Claude Monet, this timber will illuminate today’s

most discerning homes.

“Da Vinci’s attractive tones are set to enrich your interior for years to come.”

Artiste Da Vinci

Let subtle tones do the talking with Da Vinci, a wide plank earthy brown timber with pale grey

highlights that imbue rustic charm and artistic expression. Smoking of Da Vinci’s wear layer

brings out the timber’s natural character, and a subtle white wash lightens the overall look.

The 15th-century Italian artist cultivated masterful contrasts of light and dark to make an

impact – just as this unique timber that’s inspired by him does.

“Van Gogh will make a strong statement in contemporary homes, with a look that’s almost impossible to replicate.”

Artiste Van GoghWith distinctive tones of greys and browns, this textured timber radiates unique energy, just

like the bold, loose brushstrokes of Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh’s rustic grade Oak wear

layer has been intensely smoked to darken the wood colour throughout, and deliver increased

colour variation. A subtle white wash lightens the overall look and provides definition to the

wood grain pattern. Van Gogh’s works were vivid and compelling – much like this unique

timber inspired by him.

“Vermeer’s luxurious, rich brown shade offers a masterful finish which will transform your interior into its own work of art.”

Artiste VermeerSink into the timeworn elegance of Vermeer, a luxurious brown wide plank timber that invites

you to slip off your shoes and experience its tactile qualities for yourself. Vermeer’s rustic-

grade Oak wear layer has been intensely smoked to darken the wood colour throughout, and

increase colour variation. Knots and tonal differences are celebrated, so however you use

Vermeer in your home, you can rest assured it will be distinctive.
