A Time-Honored Technique Refined: Brown surface treatment through aging with concentrated atmospheric gases.
For years, our brown pigment finish has been a cherished secret among architects and interior designers. Now, we're excited to make this exceptional finish more widely available, bringing naturally enhanced oak to more homes.
Drawing inspiration from nature's own processes, we've developed a sophisticated treatment that captures the beauty of naturally aged oak. In historical European castles and manors, oak furniture has demonstrated how time can transform wood into increasingly beautiful pieces over centuries. An interesting historical note: some craftsmen even discovered that storing oak furniture in sheepfolds accelerated this natural aging process due to the atmospheric conditions there.
At JAVORINA, we've studied these natural aging phenomena and refined them into a contemporary process. For this special finish, we carefully select only the finest oak pieces with optimal structural properties and aesthetic potential. This careful selection ensures that the wood not only responds beautifully to the treatment but also showcases the most striking grain patterns in the final product. Rather than waiting decades, we expose these carefully chosen pieces under special conditions involving a mixture of atmospheric gases at high concentrations and specific temperatures in a hermetically sealed chamber for 24–48 hours. By precisely managing temperature and concentration, we achieve a deep, penetrating treatment that goes far beyond surface coloration.
This refined approach creates a profound transformation within the wood itself, resulting in rich, honey-brown tones that continue to develop character over time. It's not just a color treatment - it's an acceleration of natural processes that enhance oak's inherent beauty.
Each piece treated with our brown pigment finish tells a story of innovation rooted in understanding of wood's natural properties. The result is furniture that carries both the immediate beauty of careful craftsmanship and the promise of growing even more beautiful with time.
