Smith & Fong Co. have launched Malabar, the latest in its line of Durapalm palm wood design offerings.
Inspired by the Malabar Coast--a region of southwest India with 6,000 years of trade and cultural exchange with Africa, the Middle East, Europe and Asia--the Malabar panel is the second in a series of Durapalm panel designs derived from the Indian landscape.
The Malabar pattern includes a series of offset, ovalesque carve-outs that evoke the traditional carving techniques and motifs of the region. The panel measures ¾” x 36” or 48” x 96” and is surface-treated with either a hand-rubbed poly or natural oil finish.
Applications include walls and ceilings, as well as cabinetry, fixtures and furniture pieces.
