THE VAN GOGH COLLECTION:
The Van Gogh collection represents Karndean's mid-range gluedown offering, with diverse wood designs including this premium smoked butternut. Smoked Butternut captures the specific aesthetic of luxury North American hardwood elevated through contemporary finishing. Butternut refers to Juglans cinerea—a prized North American hardwood species historically valued for its beautiful warm coloring, fine satiny texture, and workability. Colonial American craftsmen prized butternut for fine furniture, calling it "white walnut" due to its relationship to black walnut but with lighter, warmer tones. The natural butternut coloring features warm golden-brown tones that create inviting luxury. The "Smoked" treatment involves controlled heat and smoke exposure creating deeper, richer, more dramatic brown character while preserving butternut's beautiful grain—traditional finishing technique that has become fashionable in contemporary luxury design. The rich warm brown with golden undertones represents the sophisticated depth smoking creates. The large plank format (1422mm x 228mm) brings contemporary sizing that showcases the smoked butternut character dramatically while creating luxurious spacious installations.
