FORÊT Versions

THE ORIGINAL

Endgrain is an ancient tradition of cutting wood across the growth rings. This method has been used for its many benefits such as strength and acoustic qualities. Endgrain has however slowly been abandoned due to the complexity of preparation and labor required prior to its assembly.

THE CELEBRATION

The Forêt Twirl is the celebration of the Forêt collection. It’s a 4m diameter cercle that is completely pre-assembled and delivered in puzzle pieces that are easy to install. Also the outer parts of the cercle delivered with the puzzle, the twirl is therefore very easy to be integrated in a bigger room.

THE DEMOCRATIC ALTERNATIVE

Flatgrain is what we usually see in modern flooring, it is the easiest way of cutting wood, perpendicular to the three’s growth lines. Forêt Simple line is thereby leveraging on the success of the Forêt collection by proposing the same uncompromised quality, just more democratically priced due to the type of cut.

THE XXL VERSION

The type of cut in flatgrain enabled us to make a bigger version of the Forêt collection. Not only is priced more democratically but it also enables installation teams to cover more m2 in the same amount of time. Double-sized patterns making this a great project floor at a democratic price.

DESIGNED BY
RAPHAEL NAVOT

raphaelnavot.com

Paris-based designer, Raphael Navot was born in Jerusalem, Israel, in 1977. In 2003, he graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven with a Bachelor’s degree in Conceptual Design. Post-graduation, he settled in the French capital, where he began to explore the disciplines of design and interior architecture, arriving at a unique juncture where the creative process is informed by the employment of noble, raw materials and traditional, man-made techniques.

Navot’s proximity to some of Europe’s best ateliers and craftsman has greatly influenced his work and today his bespoke spaces, furniture, and objects are realized in collaboration with these artisans, whose handcrafted approach and unique savoir-faire resonates within each piece. Vastly diverse, his portfolio of work includes projects such as the creative direction and interior design of the celebrated Parisian nightclub Silencio, a highly technical line of End Grain flooring for Oscar Ono, and a collection of artisanal carpets for Galerie Diurne.
