Designing With Nature
With 90% of our time spent indoors, it’s beneficial to occupant well-being to bring the outdoors in. Wood interiors contribute to biophilic design, connecting us with nature and offering a natural warmth and comfort.
Celebrate the beauty of solid and veneer wood with the all-new WOODWORKS Grille – Forté for ceilings and walls. Built for strength and dimensional stability, the enhanced structural design features notched alignment backers to minimize the naturally occurring twist of wood.
