At Pinna, the Italian restaurant on Curzon Street, we supplied and installed a dark oak chevron floor, framed by carefully detailed borders.
The chevron is enclosed by a wide ladder border, formed from short planks laid at 45 degrees to the walls. This continues into a curved detail, which required precise setting out and careful installation.
The oak's rich, dark colour is achieved through core smoking, a process that carries the darker tones deep into the timber rather than applying colour to the surface. This makes everyday scratches and wear less noticeable, allowing the floor to retain its depth of colour as it ages.
