After working as a technical graphic artist for many years, Thomas wanted to achieve greater harmony with the environment and mankind. “I came upon the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique by chance and I became fascinated by the quality and beauty of the charred wood. These days, I am Zwarthout’s very own nomad, as I travel through France to meet passionate people, who, like me, want to know everything there is to know about this special wood, which is then used to clad the most beautiful buildings! The fire is not the only place you can feel warmth at Zwarthout, you feel it within the team, too.”
We have put together two Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban sample boxes: one for interior design applications and one for façade cladding.
That way, you can experience the attention, care and love we pour into each piece of wood yourself. And, of course, the beauty and exclusive looks the various textures have to offer.
