02 — Nordic Daylight

The luxury of less.

Sunlit Scandinavian living room with honey oak plank floor, linen sofa and round oak table

Chapter 01

The Luxury of Less

Less, but warmer.

Rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, where warm natural textures, soft daylight, and thoughtful minimalism create spaces that feel effortlessly like home.

Chapter 02

Morning Light

Long planks run through the living room and kitchen without a break, so the floor ties the open plan together.

Chapter 03

A Grounded Space

Each 1200 × 200 mm plank comes from a series of twelve random designs, so knots and grain shift from board to board and the floor never looks printed.

Chapter 04

The Warmth of Simplicity

Honey oak sets the temperature. Sage and oat linen keep it soft, and charcoal gives the edges definition. Every material stays matte or gently textured.

This composition sits on the Figma canvas but was not placed on the final board. It is shown here as a supporting study. The complementary finishes are illustrative.

  2. 2Tile sample — Establishes material identity: colour, pattern, scale and finish.
  3. 3Supporting scenarios — Establish versatility across rooms and uses.
  4. 4Detail imagery — Communicates texture, edge profile and joint.
  5. 5Colour strip — Enables quick collection recognition, even from across a showroom.
