KOS
Texture variation: Charred
KOS carries a dark, charred palette with layers of black, deep brown, and ash moving through the surface. The burned texture gives the boards a tactile presence, allowing shadow, grain, and subtle variation to shift as light hits the face. Made for exterior and interior cladding, KOS brings bold, modified characteristics to architectural spaces that call for a dark wood surface with warmth, texture, and lasting visual impact.
