“森林横纹木”（LA FORÊT DE BOIS DE BOUT）是一款具有革新性的端纹地板及墙面材料。其设计者Raphael Navot和Oscar Ono以这种复杂的美学挑战了工艺的极限。

LA FORÊT DE BOIS DE BOUT is an innovative approach to End Grain flooring and wall covering. The collaboration between designer Raphael Navot and Oscar Ono Paris challenged the technological know-how boundaries with complex aesthetics.

端纹木板系列的创造初衷是希望在弦切纹木被广泛应用的当下唤醒古老的传统。该系列聚焦于对天然品质和耐久性的保护，同时利用了现代技术，使类似于“槽舌”（groove and tongue）的独特地板系统得以被便捷地使用。

The End Grain collection was created with the intention to revive an ancient tradition that gave way to the widely spread flat grain parquet. The collection focuses on protecting the natural quality and durability of this tradition while introducing an engineered contemporary version that allows an easy application similar to the typical ‘groove and tongue’ parquet system.

纵向的纤维增加了端纹地板的制作难度，复杂的烘干和固定工序保证了地板装配的稳定性，同时没有失去木材的天然美感。该板材系列具有多种尺寸和纹样：包括简单的格纹、箭纹和复杂的拼缝，以及多种色调和定制化的特征。这些纹理皆形成于有规则的重复，而其背后是对自然木纹的不规则性的潜心研究。

As the vertical direction of the fibres makes End Grain challenging to tame, a complex process of drying and fixture guarantees the stability of the assembled floor without compromising the natural beauty of the tiles. The collection encompasses different patterns in variable sizes, from a simple grid, arrow alignment to complex patchwork as well as a numerous shadings and custom-made features. The patterns are composed in a repetitive manner, yet introducing a studied irregularity for a natural pattern flow.

关于端纹木板 | About End Grain

端纹木板是19世纪在欧美盛行的传统铺设材料，多用于工厂、博物馆、桥梁和木质的人行道。这种多元化的使用场景主要取决于其坚固的特质。如今，由于其抗击打、抗切割，同时不易断裂和的特性，端纹木板常常被用于砧板的制作。斜角切割使得木材的纹理能够抵抗能量冲击，同时提高吸声能力。端纹木板由木梁的端面制成，充分显露了树木随着年岁积累的动态而自然的纹理之美。

End Grain flooring is a traditional method used in the 19th century throughout Europe and America for mostly factories, museums, bridges and board walks. The main reason for which End Grain floors covered such diverse grounds is thanks to one main feature – its strength. Nowadays, we are more likely to find End Grain as chopping boards as the surface withstands pounding and cutting without splintering or breaking. The angle cut allows the growth rings to resist energy shock as well as to improve sound-absorbing qualities. End Grain is made from the cut ends of wood beams, unveiling the dynamic beauty of natural time-seasoned ring pattern.
