- Sample Price: £0.00
Description
Native to French Guiana and northern South America, Chawari, also known as Piquiarana or Piquia, is a beautifully dense, pale timber. Its interlocking grain occasionally reveals delicate, ribbon-like patterns, giving each piece a quiet elegance shaped entirely by nature.
Custom Made Samples
Compare construction, tone, patina and texture. Feeling the wood in your hand reveals the true character and quality of each surface. Our bespoke samples are made to order, with sizes varying around 25 × 30 cm. Sample purchases are redeemable as credit against flooring orders and are otherwise non-refundable. Please allow 3–8 working days for preparation.
Re:discovered Sunken Timber
Re:discovered is a collection of rare timber recovered from submerged forests around the world, in partnership with Triton. Preserved underwater for decades, sometimes centuries, each piece carries a character that simply cannot be replicated. Recovered using patented underwater technology without felling living trees, it brings extraordinary provenance and a remarkably consistent supply to flooring, furniture and bespoke joinery.
Decades Beneath The Water
Across the world, forests lost beneath the creation of vast reservoirs have remained submerged for decades — their timber preserved in the stillness below, untouched and unseen.
From Latin America and Africa to North America and Southeast Asia, Re: brings these remarkable timbers back into use. Not newly felled, but recovered from forests thought lost.
