Made from reclaimed oak, this herringbone pattern adds a statement to the room. The door can't be slammed shut. The hinges take over any sort of push to ensure a silent, self-closing action. Finished with boiled linseed oil, which soaks into the grain instead of sitting...
This was a relatively quick project as the wood had already been finished by the Great Outdoors. The client wanted to keep the natural, grey effects of the weather. The contrast between the lighter, exposed interior wood and the weathered exterior helps elements of the design to...
