Details
Rauch/Holz® is a specialized carbonized wood crafted by Master Carpenter Thomas Rauch and his team in his workshop on the island of Usedom. Sourced responsibly from local forests in northern Germany, our wood undergoes a very careful carbonization process that transforms it with a deep black finish, significantly enhancing its aesthetic appeal while ensuring durability and weather resistance, among many other benefits. We offer architects, designers, builders and homeowners an ecologically conscious material that seamlessly merges tradition with contemporary design.
The Jury‘s Statement
This material sets new standards by merging traditional techniques with modern design. The eco-friendly carbonization process results in a durable surface that serves as a focal point both outdoors and indoors. »RauchHolz« impresses with its origin from sustainably managed forests in northern Germany.
