Wood everywhere

Wood, undoubtedly the oldest and most classic material, is experiencing a new youth in this period. Characteristics such as hardness, stability and strength are now being transformed into the virtues of the future.

Design chooses to change its perspective: classics are rediscovered with an emphasis on studying the past, even to the point of rediscovering wood. Like all trends that follow a cycle, this one had to make a comeback sooner or later. In a hyper-technological and fully computerized world by counterpoise there is a demand for elements that harken back to the past, with an eye for technology and a vintage effect that captures attention somewhat across the board. When it comes to interior design and furnishings, the wood-design pairing is once again trending, after a long period when steel and hi-tech man-made, plastic and composite materials predominated unchallenged.

A ductile material, easy to work with, ecological and capable of creating an environment characterized by the natural warmth of wood. Today, wood is conquering more and more spaces inside homes, we are towards the discovery of objects and unexplored territories where it was previously little present: starting from the walls that are covered with paneling, to tables, chairs, beds…in short, everywhere.

An excellent example and one that you will all be familiar with by now: the wall coverings proposed by Berti, in which prefinished parquet has no limits of use and also conquers wall space. Thanks to the wide range of wood species and finishes, in fact, and the innovative modular structures designed by Berti for walls, it is possible to creatively customize any room. The modern fantasy of light sources designed and chosen according to one’s taste also finds room. Through the use of led-rgb technology on parquet, the wall covering thus shines with a new dimension, giving the eye unprecedented emotions.
