Straw is an excellent renewable resource as it can be grown fast and in huge quantities

as a by-product of cereal production as well as being extremely durable. Straw features an almost perfect hydrophobic outer skin and an enormous abrasion resistance, which makes

it ideal for roof covering and has been used as such for centuries. Its regional availability

has a tremendous positive impact on ecological balance.

Our RURAL is available in two versions: as NATURAL and GOTHIC. It is produced in a special multi-layer veneer technique from crosswise-layered and compressed straw.

With the RURAL GOTHIC we have taken the liberty of imitating the lustre of sunlight on the straw  by means of gold inclusions. This gives it a very subtle yet unique aesthetic vibrancy, which unfortunately is really hard to capture by means of photography – but which will capture you when you see it in real life.
