‘Cloud Dancer’ in wood

 
---

 Pantone describes Cloud Dancer, the Colour of the Year 2026, as a structural tone. A calm foundation that allows other elements to come forward. In interior design, this feels familiar. The best spaces are built on a balanced base that supports proportion, material and light. In our collection, this direction is already present in Ash, Maple and Oak.

 Cloud Dancer speaks about simplicity and spaciousness. In wood, this is achieved through tone, grain and finish. Ash adds softness. Maple offers clarity. Oak brings structure. Each creates a calm base that allows the rest of the interior to sit naturally.

 #### Continental Ash Faded Iceberg Hardwax

 With Faded Iceberg Hardwax, Continental Ash becomes brighter and more natural in appearance. The wood is treated with lye to keep a cool, sandy tone and finished with hardwax oil. The surface remains open and can be maintained over time through soaping and re-oiling.

*In wider and longer boards, Ash creates a light and relaxed feel, with gentle grain movement that adds character without dominating the space.*

 #### Continental Ash Extra Faded Velvet Poly

 For a more sealed finish, Extra Faded Velvet Poly offers the same pale tone with stronger surface protection. The lye treatment keeps the wood natural and light, while the extreme matte lacquer avoids shine.

*On longer, wider boards, this finish creates a calm and consistent floor that supports minimal and contemporary interiors.*

 #### Maple Faded White Velvet Poly

 White Maple in Faded White Velvet Poly is pale and creamy with a smooth, even grain. The bleaching treatment lightens the wood and protects it from yellowing over time. The Velvet poly lacquer is almost ultramatt. It reduces reflection and keeps the surface quiet, even in bright interiors.

 *Because Maple is dense and fine-grained, the floor feels clean and continuous. It works well where clarity and precision are important.*

 #### Continental Oak Faded Ice Ultramatt Poly

 In Faded Ice Ultramatt Poly, Continental Oak takes on a fresh Nordic tone. It is bleached with our custom pale lye to protect against yellowing while maintaining a natural look.

*The ultramatt lacquer keeps the surface controlled and understated. Oak carries a recognisable grain, which can be specified in more uniform or more rustic selections. It brings structure and familiarity while remaining light and balanced.*
