A creative young entrepreneur from Transylvania, fascinated by wood’s natural imperfections, set-up in 2017 a Romanian SME to manufacture unique wooden pieces from old reclaimed wood.

The Romanian SME combines old wood with modern materials (epoxy raisin and pigments) and applies creative process, such as controlled burning with (pause) electrical current, revealing modern new appearance wooden plates to be used in interior design by individuals or companies.
The Romanian plates made from reclaimed old wood are not only a piece of wood, but they are also telling a story and prove their functionality, combining the reclaiming process with day by day activities.
