Elm Burr : Refinement at its Best
Whether it is elegant and intensely woody in the luxurious train cabins of the 1930s or bold and sophisticated in the seventies, burl elm continues to inspire us with its versatility and the richness of its patterns. A surprising organic material making a strong comeback, it is being modernized for our greatest pleasure! Singular and refined, it stands apart from other wood finishes thanks to its sinuous, interwoven grain, reminiscent of marble. Originating from an irregular growth on the trunk, burl elm is rich in its intricate lines, knots, and contrasting shades. A medium with unique veins that delights the eye and captivates many—from the intimate spaces of family homes to grand hotels restored by talented architects.
Seen as a coffee table in the Broudehoux family’s living room, in Laurent Laporte’s space, or even in an all-encompassing design—from bar to bedroom—at the majestic Hôtel Rochechouart, burl elm transports us to another era where exuberance and joy were the guiding principles. A material for living spaces infused with subtly retro charm. Enchanting.
