The bottom printed in silkscreen technique as an anti-slip. Bark is finished with a wax which makes it water repellent. This rug has been inspired by the Japanese Kintsugi art emphasising the natural imperfection of bark. A tear has been filled with a wool line, just like moss in the forests.
Just as trees vary from one to another, each item would have a slight difference in colour or appearance, which we see as an advantage rather than a vice!

As the name suggests, PineSKINS placemat is made from the skin of a pine tree. The leather-like material surprises with its softness in contrast to the thick and harsh character associated with pine trees. The studio treats fresh bark only with natural ingredients to preserve its softness, keeping objects simple and incredibly organic.
Through the PineSkins range, the design studio invites people to slow down and experience the tactility and musky smell of the forest to help them reconnect with nature through their senses.
