River Tōtara

Beautifully understated, with a silky grain that enhances modern forms. Lightweight yet durable, it lends itself to clean lines and seamless finishes. Totara introduces a calm, natural richness that complements contemporary materials and architectural precision.

Over time, submerged under layers of water, silt, and gravel, the preservation process deepens the timber’s tone, enriches its grain, and enhances its density. Colours emerge that are rarely seen in freshly felled wood — rich chocolates, silvers, deep umbers.
