The inevitable first reaction of anyone meeting Ruskin for the first time is to caress the wood, marvel at its rich, dark patina, and enjoy the gentle undulations hinting at centuries of history.
It’s hard not to connect emotionally – viscerally even – with this exceptional 400-year-old French Oak and wonder what stories each plank, panel, chevron, and herringbone block has to tell.
Our most experienced craftspeople certainly connected when we presented this scarce resource to them, daring them to experiment on a fragment of such a treasured material. The result is a lovingly crafted floor with gorgeous hand-rolled edge detailing, and beautiful tones that dash across the floor.
Practically, Ruskin is hard to beat too. Matching modern design benefits with artisan techniques, this ancient oak now hosts 2-ply engineered construction and a thick 6mm wear layer for added durability and a tongue and grooved profile for easy installation.
