Havwoods Q3 Wood Book Light Edition - Landing now!

We are excited to share that our latest priced Wood Book is now landing on customer desks and doormats as we write this. If you do not receive a printed copy, and would like to have one mailed, just let us know below.

Our LIGHT EDITION brings commentary on the impact of light upon surface materials, it also features the launch of our exciting new End Grain collection, a beautiful visual product of the grain in each piece of wood.

Product Spotlight: End Grain

End grain is the grain of wood seen when it is cut across the growth rings. Rather than cutting a plank of wood the length of the trunk, end grain wood is cut at a 90-degree angle to the grain. 

This type of cut exposes the character of the wood rings and graining and as with a chopping block, the surface of an end-grain tile is incredibly tough and durable. Our end-grain collection boards are all glued to a backing, to ensure a more stable engineered floor. We are proud to introduce 16 new colors to this range.

Playing with Light

Light has a vital role to play when designing interiors, as it has the ability to change the mood and ambience of a room, just as much as it can cleverly manipulate the size and shape of a space. In the same way, light also has a significant effect on how wood flooring can look, from the color of the boards to the perceived size of the planks.

Loft Conversion, London

Bordering the Highbury Fields Conservation Area, this mid-terraced house in Islington recently underwent an impressive extension to create a new third floor loft space, creating a spacious study, playroom and small guest bathroom. 

Science Museum, London

The home of human scientific ingenuity, the Science Museum in London is a world famous attraction, welcoming visitors from all across the globe. With over two years of planning involved, the recently launched Medicine Galleries at the museum is the largest of its kind in the world. The new gallery required a traditional, beautiful quality finish for its flooring using only the highest specification of products to impress visitors.

In conversation with AFLUX Designs

We were delighted to be joined recently by London-based Amit Malhotra and Sara Ripamonti from AFLUX Designs who discussed how the recent developments have impacted their business, and how they see the future for Interior Design as we move forward.
