02Character & specification
Quarter-slicing gives sapele its characteristic ribbon stripe; smoking mutes the red and lifts a soft mauve undertone. Calm and linear, it panels beautifully at full height.
“A veneer should never hide the tree it came from — it should let you read its whole life in a single leaf.”
