In the world of high-end furniture, the materials are just as significant as the craftsmanship. At ROOM, we understand the transformative power of premium wood species and finishes. These elements not only define a piece’s aesthetic but also enhance its longevity, functionality, and unique narrative.
Every wood species carries distinctive characteristics, from its grain patterns to its density. The choice of wood is an integral part of the design process, and at ROOM, we specialize in working with high-quality hardwoods and exotic species.
Classic hardwoods like oak, walnut, and maple are staples of furniture design. Oak, with its prominent grain and durability, offers timeless appeal, while walnut’s deep tones and smooth grain make it a favorite for contemporary and mid-century designs. Maple, known for its fine, uniform grain, lends itself to clean, modern aesthetics and high-use surfaces.
For those seeking something unique, exotic species such as zebrawood or teak provide bold patterns and exceptional durability. Live edge slabs, sourced from single trees, maintain the natural shape and character of the wood, creating one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate nature’s imperfections.
A wood finish is more than a final touch—it enhances the wood’s natural beauty, provides protection, and ensures the piece ages gracefully.
Natural oil finishes penetrate the wood, highlighting its grain and color while maintaining a matte, organic look. Lacquer and varnish finishes offer added durability, with lacquer providing a glossy sheen and varnish balancing protection with a more natural appearance. Stains and tints allow for color customization while preserving the wood’s texture, and specialty finishes like cerused oak or burnished effects create depth and character.
At ROOM, sustainability is non-negotiable. High-end wood species should never come at the cost of the environment. We source materials responsibly, working with suppliers who adhere to sustainable forestry practices and incorporating reclaimed wood whenever possible. This commitment ensures that each piece contributes to a cycle of renewal while carrying a history of its own.
While high-end woods are undeniably beautiful, they must also meet the demands of everyday life. Hardwoods like oak, walnut, and maple provide durability for dining tables and case goods, while exotic woods like zebrawood or live edge slabs serve as striking statement pieces for coffee tables or desks. For outdoor furniture, weather-resistant species such as teak ensure lasting performance.
Customization is where ROOM truly shines. We work with you to tailor wood species and finishes to your taste, offering unique combinations, texture variations, and tailored sheens to suit your aesthetic. Pair contrasting materials, such as a walnut tabletop with a blackened steel base, or explore rustic textures like wire-brushed finishes for added depth.
Every piece crafted at ROOM benefits from the decades of experience our artisans bring to their work. From selecting the perfect wood slab to applying the final finish, every step is executed with precision and care.
For ROOM, wood is more than a material—it’s a storytelling medium. By combining exceptional wood species with finishes that enhance their natural beauty, we create furniture that is both timeless and functional. Whether it’s the warmth of walnut, the dramatic stripes of zebrawood, or the organic elegance of a live edge slab, each piece is a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
