Press release Dinesen Oak – respecting the heritage Oak trees are always an impressive sight in nature. They have more personality than any other wood species, and their vitality is unparalleled. Dinesen takes pride in producing wooden floor planks that respect and preserve the personality of the oak tree. The knowledge about wood has been passed down through the 117-year long history of Dinesen. When this knowledge is combined with the architects’ comprehension of design and aesthetics, many exciting possibilities arise. Actually, it was on the encouragement of the British architect John Pawson that Dinesen began to work with oak in 1992. Today, Dinesen offers solid Oak planks in widths up to 50 centimetres and lengths up to 6 metres, including the distinctive variants GrandOak and HeartOak. The heritage of the oak Dinesen uses only the best raw wood which comes from selected European forests where the stands are tended with the greatest care and respect for nature. The oak trees have been planted five or six generations ago and have weathered everything that has come their way over the past 150 to 200 years. It is an attainment and heritage that calls for respect, and Dinesen strives to make the best possible use of the tree. Each tree is carefully selected according to size, purity and form to meet Dinesen’s requirements. Although Dinesen only accepts the best raw wood, even the most beautiful tree may hide surprises that are not revealed until it reaches the sawmill. Therefore, Dinesen evaluates every single plank manually several times during the production process as part of a constant effort to supply unique oak wood of the utmost quality to the clients. Individual floors Wood is a living material, and Dinesen aims to deliver harmonious floors where the personality of the tree is preserved. Oak is a fascinating wood species with a uniquely rich personality, and depending on the dimensions and knot content, it can be used to create floors with a wide range of expressions. It is these differences in the character of the planks that let Dinesen make individual floors for so many different projects. www.dinesen.com For further information, please contact: Michael Schönwiese , PR Manager | T +45 7355 2558 | M +45 6040 4858 | ms@dinesen
