The right wood for you: a short guide to CREO species

Wood and cork sample board from the CREO workshop

Wood is the finest material for creating unique, light, comfortable and natural frames. In the workshop sample collection dozens of species live side by side: ebony, rosewood, wenge, zebrawood, bois de rose, canaletto walnut, maple, birch, beech, mahogany. A true kaleidoscope of colors, and no two boards are ever alike.

Ebony is the most elegant: dark, deep, never out of fashion. Canaletto walnut is its warm cousin, brown with soft grain. Rosewood sits in between, with hues running from brown to violet.

For those who like to stand out

Zebrawood needs no introduction: natural stripes that look hand drawn. Bois de rose brings rare pinkish tones. And then come the dyed woods: maple dyed blue, red, yellow.

For featherweight lovers

Every front is born from 18 layers of wood and resin, hot pressed, cut and hand finished. That is why a CREO wooden frame flexes, resists water and weighs less than you expect.
