Our different surfaces
Our raw materials originate mainly from the large solid pillars that we collect from the decommissioned Danish wharves. The pillars are cut along their lengths into planks. The way that we cut the pillars into planks results in two types of surfaces; sanded and rustic.
The surface finish depends on where the planks are cut from. Planks with a rustic finish are from the weathered outer layer of the pillar. The sanded planks originate from inside pillars, where they have been protected from the elements.
Most of our products are produced by default with a sanded finish, whereas the rustic surface is an option that is possible for our plank tables, coffee tables and tv furniture.
Because of the wood’s special, unique story, no two planks or pieces of furniture are alike.
SANDED
• Used as standard for all our products.
• Particulary good for outdoor furniture.
• A more reddish tone than the rustic surface, but weathers well, turning a silver grey colour when exposed to sun.
• Can be regarded as new azobé wood.
• Cut from the protected inner wood of the large pillars from the harbour.
• Can still contain historic rustic details like small holes, and cracks.
RUSTIC
• Can be selected for our plank tables, coffee tables and more.
• Categorised as small, medium and large according to the amount of rustic detail.
• Cut from the pillars outer layer, and has therefore been exposed to the harsh harbour environment, with the sea, wind and sun.
• Each plank has its own patina, there can be considerable colour differences.
• Can include a large amount of rustic details, like holes, crevices, cracks, bolts and rustic ends.
Every centimeter of our wood is unique.
Therefore, the assessment of the surface just that; an assessment case. This means that the limits for our 4 main categories is fluid, which we have tried to illustrate below.
The amount of rustic details is assessed based on the overall look of the whole table. This means, that a table may well be ”raw medium” although one end is a little more rustic and the other a little
less. Two different tables in raw medium will also vary in the amount of rustic details.
When we select planks, ensure that we take the trouble to select the planks that work best together and represent the customer’s wishes most appropriately.

The products will vary in colours and amount of details.

Uniq
// Special surface exclusive for our Uniq table.
Our Uniq plank tables are made from the rustic planks that were positioned on the outer layer of the harbour walls. These are our most exclusive planks, as we only have a limited amount in each harbour. They have been in the front line of the harbour, bolted to the underlying grid and therefore in direct contact with the harsh salty environment, constantly under pressure from the docking ships. Because of this, these planks are as rustic and authentic as can be. When in their presence, you cannot help but feel the history surrounding these planks.
