COMMISSIONED
ART
EDITION LIGNATUR furniture is unique, custom-made for each individual order. From the very start, as not even the natural wood boards of the three-layer process are pre-produced.
The explanation is furnished by our pronounced perfectionism. For all EDITION LIGNATUR order surfaces to mutually harmonise, a special advance operation is required. At Team 7, it’s called “painting with wood”.
This is how this art works: Prior to making the boards, the 46-millimeter thick slats providing the foundation of the future surface will be chosen relative to their hue. For it varies from trunk to trunk and from board to board when using the natural material wood. And it’s not just the colours but also the patterns of the woods that should harmonise. Depending on the wood type, there are branch nests, splints, light mirrors and other characteristics.
In order to make these features more visible, the slats are initially sprayed with water, creating a more contrasted image. The slaps are now selected individually and by hand. Only at this point, the three-point technology serves to produce the natural wood boards. A laborious method? Certainly. But a furniture maker with specific quality standards is, in a way, also an artist. Your personal contract artist if you will.
