Introducing Black Oak

As interior design continues to move towards warmer, more natural materials, we’re seeing a growing demand for finishes that bring texture, depth and a sense of connection to the natural world. Inspired by the subtle variation and character found in natural timber, Black Oak is our latest MFC finish, bringing a contemporary wood grain to the bold, timeless appeal of black.

Replacing our existing Black finish, Black Oak offers a more textured and considered alternative. The muted black tone is softened by the natural grain, creating a finish that feels warm and understated while still making a strong visual statement.

Positioned within Band 3, Black Oak has been developed with architects, designers and specifiers in mind, offering a versatile option for modern workplace and commercial interiors. Its subtle grain and natural texture work particularly well alongside other timber finishes, neutral tones and tactile materials, making it easy to incorporate into a wide range of interior schemes.

The result is a finish that combines the clean, confident look of black with the warmth and character of natural wood – bringing a more relaxed, refined feel to contemporary spaces.

If you’d like to see Black Oak for yourself, our Clerkenwell and Yorkshire showrooms are open to visitors. Speak to your Area Sales Manager to arrange a suitable date and we’ll be happy to show you around.
