By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, RSTco. furniture /

This past weekend we participated in the 2016 Architectural Digest Design Show in New York along side Cartwright NY. The Architectural Digest Design Show (ADDS) is the essential showcase for luxury design. The four-day fair showcases design offerings from more than 400 brands, including well-known manufacturers and independent makers.

“There are a lot of big brands that you’d expect here, but it’s kind of amazing how many smaller brands you can discover. It’s a free look as an architect at what’s going on in the world of design and what’s emerging right now.”
—David Rockwell, Founder & President of Rockwell Group

Gensler Philadelphia shou sugi ban charred featured wall

reSAWN’s KINOKO charred reclaimed cypress at Gensler Philadelphia

reSAWN’s CHARRED collection features cypress, black walnut, red oak, white oak and reclaimed hemlock that is burnt in the Japanese tradition of shou sugi ban. Translated as “the burning of Japanese cypress (sugi)” or yakisugi, and traditionally used in Japan as exterior siding, this ancient technique is gaining new life as a unique and modern wood finish.

The wood is carefully charred, misted with water, cooled, brushed to remove dust and loose debris, and then stained/sealed to create the unique designs you will find in the CHARRED collection. The top coat sealer is applied prior to shipping (for exterior applications, we recommend sealing the face & back). The charcoal barrier created through this process preserves the wood, and is fire, rot and insect resistant. The burning process accentuates the wood grain and creates varying colors when viewed from different angles and in different light.

reSAWN’s CHARRED collection features 30+ designs for a variety of applications including exterior siding, interior wall cladding, ceiling cladding, millwork & flooring. reSAWN also specializes in incorporating shou sugi ban techniques into custom wood furniture.

HAPPY CAMPER: Pizza, Booze, Vibes, Happiness and reSAWN’s CHARRED WOOD

By reSAWN TIMBER co. In CHARRED WOOD, Product Installs /

Happy Camper (1209 N. Wells St., Old Town) is a little sister to beloved Lincoln Park pizza joint Homeslice, and the family resemblance is obvious. Both spots have pizza, of course, and there’s the same kind of rustic-kitsch décor scheme. This newbie, however, is massive, big enough to hold people stopping in for a slice and a beer before conquering Division Street and those looking for late-night eats at the end of a long night of bar crawling. Happy Camper features reSAWN’s TAIYO charred wood wall cladding in #2 common grade cypress.
