Curves Ahead: Undulating Wood Floors from The Netherlands

October 3, 2013

A new flooring option from Dutch company Bolefloor (named after the bole, or the trunk of the tree): the first manufactured hardwood flooring to honor the natural curve of its original form, the growth pattern of a tree. While the concept may sound potentially disorienting, the undulating connections between the planks are understated. And beyond the aesthetic appeal, there’s an environmental bonus: utilizing surface area more efficiently allows for more floors per forest. What’s more, the curvature of the wood is well suited to environments with inconsistent temperatures. 

Bolefloor has showrooms across Europe and is becoming increasingly available in the US. What’s more, the company reports that shipping costs to the US, including freight and duty, are no more expensive than in Europe. Read on for more details, and visit Bolefloor for ordering information.
