To ensure exceptional performance, Domus has selected one single species – European White Oak (Quercus robur.L) – renowned for its inherent strength and quality. Sourced from the prestigious forests of Mazury, Poland, this fine oak grows slowly, creating an extremely dense, tall and straight timber; robust, consistent and reliable. And naturally, it’s FSC ® 100%. In the heart of the forest, these majestic specimens are felled with care, then expertly transformed. Utilising generations of skill and experience, the trunks are stripped, sawn and trimmed to provide optimal yield for our selected formats. Under watchful quality control procedures, the oak is then expertly kiln dried before being married to the multi-layered ply body that supports and underpins the Domus Wood Collection. Precise, rigorous and engineered to perfection.
Italian style and technology Our state of the art production in Ravenna employs the latest technologies, combined with decades of artisanal and industrial expertise, to create the carefully designed Domus Wood Collection. Every stage of the journey from forest to finished product is developed with integrity and managed with care. Specialist surface treatments, colouring and finishes are brought together to lend each product its unique character and superior performance. Here, the beauty of wood is realised.
