Screenwood at UNSW Fig Tree Lane

Screenwood’s oak timber screens lend texture and temperature to learning environments at UNSW.

October 28th, 2014

American White Oak has become an increasingly popular choice for timber features. Consistently blonde in tone, Oak provides a natural texture without competing with other design elements in a space.

Used here at UNSW, Screenwood’s linear timber wall panels bring warmth and visual interest to the lecture theatres and student common areas, all while providing echo reduction and acoustic amenity.

Dipped in integrity: The profound depth of Aeron Chair’s extended palette

Aeron Chair’s new shades, Nightfall and Jasper, arrive with a sense of quiet cohesion – no bells and whistles, no loud technicolour; just two timeless, perfectly versatile near-neutrals. But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
