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.
