Combining traditional solid wood furniture craftsmanship with shou-sugi-ban charred woods to create unique, modern pieces
For his project at the Palais de Tokyo, Bernard Aubertin decided to produce a series of “fire-paintings”.
The French artist Bernard Aubertin met Yves Klein in 1957. After this capital meeting he painted his his first red monochromes. In 1961, Bernard Aubertin joined ZERO, a German artists’ group made up of (Otto Piene, Heinz Mack and Günther Uecker). With them Aubertin shared a distrust of language: “Art isn’t expression, it’s knowledge. You don’t have something to say, you can only be” (Bernard Aubertin). For Aubertin, monochrome painting is the best way to free oneself from the painter’s gesture and, in doing so, give rise to a pure space and an anonymous vital energy. Ascribing a prophetic, liberating value to the color red and “levitating fire,” in which he sees a materialization of “extrasensory” culture, Aubertin has tirelessly developed his many series of paintings, the “monochromes,” “squares,” “reds,” “fires,” “golds” and so on.
The “fire-paintings” are fashioned from matches, which leave only traces of smoke and charred wood in the end. Aubertin sees them as so many manifestations of the power of art materials.
FAUX BOX BEAMS are a great design solution to achieve the aesthetic you are after in customizable dimensions.

These designs provide plenty of inspiration including blackened beams. reSAWN offers a wide array of new and reclaimed woods that can be ordered as custom built box beams for your project.
Treehotel – located in Harads, near the Lule river in Sweden – offers a unique hotel experience: treerooms with contemporary design in the middle of unspoiled nature. Here you can forget about the time constraints of everyday life, enjoy the serenity, and rejuvenate in a sophisticated yet familiar environment.
Treehotel was inspired by the film ”The Tree Lover” by Jonas Selberg Augustsen. It’s a tale of three men from the city who want to go back to their roots by building a tree house together. “The Tree Lover” is a philosophic story about the significance of trees for us human beings.
The idea behind Treehotel is to offer high-standard accommodation in a harmonious place where daily stress melts away. Guests can relax and renew their energy while surrounded by unspoiled nature.
Together with some of Scandinavia’s leading architects, they created their uniquely designed “treerooms.” The rooms are suspended 4-6 meters above ground – all with spectacular views of the Lule River.
A very important part of the concept is to consider ecological values and make minimal environmental impact. For this reason they devoted considerable resources to finding sustainable construction and energy solutions.
