NATUR: THE VALUE OF A CONSCIOUS CHOICE

NATUR is the mark that identifies planks created with respect for the raw material: the planks are in fact obtained from logs that have not been subjected to unnecessary removal, excessive waste or selection processes, thus preserving and enhancing the innate, extraordinary beauty of Nature.
Wood used in interior design and residential coverings has traditionally been selected by seeking out those parts considered perfect: sections capable of delivering equally flawless finishes, pure yet glamorous.
These perfect boards are obtained by removing, during the production process, all those parts of the wood deemed inconsistent with the aesthetic ideal of formal purity. Yet this inevitably leads to greater waste of a raw material that is, in itself, a precious gift of Nature.
With a view to showing the utmost respect for the environment, Cadorin has identified, across its various collections, a selection of planks that most fully embody the principles of ecodesign, marking them with the NATUR logo.
NATUR-marked planks allow the material to express itself freely, enhancing the intrinsic character of the wood and highlighting every single detail of its natural grain, transforming it into an extraordinary element of distinction.
Let us consider the defining characteristics of the planks bearing the NATUR logo within the CADORIN wood selection. First of all, the planks feature knots, which preserve the memory of a bud, the very point from which a branch of the tree began to grow. They may also display pronounced or darker grain patterns, as well as more distinctive tones and woody features resulting from the absorption of mineral salts during the tree’s growth or from the flow of sap through its fibres, depending on whether the tree had an abundant water supply or experienced periods of drought.
NATUR thus brings Nature to the fore, transforming wood surfaces into an evocative tableau vivant with a striking visual impact.
The NATUR logo attests that the wood has been processed responsibly, with the utmost respect for the original log and with particular attention to reducing waste and offcuts, ensuring minimal environmental impact and the efficient use of resources.
