reSAWN is pleased to introduce 4 new designs on reclaimed hemlock inspired by reclaimed barn siding.  The reclaimed hemlock is wirebrushed with a stain/sealer.  The colors have been carefully curated by our product developer to reflect the colors typically found on reclaimed barn siding.  Designers can now specify a reclaimed wood product that looks like barn siding without the concerns of lead paint that can sometimes be found on old barns.  The beautifully rustic reclaimed hemlock adds variation and fluidity to these designs while the stain/sealer allows for a more consistent all over color than can be achieved with reclaimed barn siding.

BOLLOCKS is the newest addition to our EXPATS collection – a lush warm grey wide plank white oak floor.

COS, an upscale European retailer under the H&M (Hennes and Mauritz) brand, recently expanded into the Canadian retail market.  G architects collaborated with New York-based Office AO to bring to life the brand’s 3-story, 6,700 sf flagship location in Toronto’s fashionable Yorkville neighborhood. The modern façade is clad in reSAWN’s MONOGATARI shou sugi ban charred wood.  Inside the store is light and airy, reflecting the same sparse Scandinavian aesthetic found in the menswear, womenswear and kidswear sold at the store.

BARK is the chef driven and environmentally mindful American fast casual restaurant from chef/owner Joshua Sharkey. Opened in Park Slope Brooklyn in 2009, the idea was simple: make American fast food better.  Use Great ingredients and source them from great farmers and artisans,  use proper techniques, add a happy and productive team and you have the recipe for an altogether new and far better way to enjoy the American classics.
