Furniture


The exotic wood of the Silver Fir is being increasingly used for interior fittings and the manufacturing of furniture.

With the right cut - tight, consecutive annual rings, offer the necessary density, and between them, softness, which makes the timber ideal for stairs and floors.  Pure, hardwood floors are hard wearing, but they don‘t lend the floor the cosiness and warmth that the Silver Fir does.

Even though it used to be common practice to use the Silver Fir for hard wearing floors or church pews and noble panelling for ceilings and walls, over the years, it was forgotten.  If you ever go into an old farm house, you will be impressed by the cosiness of the light, well preserved wood.  

The expressive, and at the same time sedate and resin free wood of the Silver Fir is experiencing a renaissance in modern interior design.  The old processing models are being interpreted in a new way and incorporated in modern designs.  The wood of the Silver Fir creates atmosphere and reverence in every room.

When we look at the examples, we see that Silver Fir timber is being used for floors and stairs.  The exotic wood has been newly discovered!
