ATELIER

Hand-finished in the European tradition , and perfected with modern technology .

Great artisans don’t try to impress their own influence on nature… they embrace it. They allow nature to speak through their work. And DUCHATEAU is at the intersection where artisans and great design meet. Introducing our Atelier Collection. This isn’t an off-the-shelf product. It is a living thing, hand-finished in the European tradition, and perfected with modern technology. A look of ancient wood, with a natural matte and luster that comes from within. Wood that breathes and ages like wine, evolving over time. A blend of the old world with contemporary excellence. Every floor is made to order, with a one-of-a-kind terroir unique to the crop of trees it was harvested from and the time and conditions under which it was finished. As nature and technology are forever changing, so too is the artisan method, giving DUCHATEAU a signature aesthetic and point of view that continues to be refined. Our new color offerings are about revisiting Atelier favorites, with a new, fuller breath of expression. Artisanal hand-finishing with an evolved methodology shows improved color stability and richness as it interacts with light, both day and night.

Traditionally manufactured engineered European Oak planks; hand-finished by North American artisans. Atelier by DUCHATEAU.

A white reminiscent of the low-lying dense summer fog that hugs the California coast, a fog that is the out- come of the cold ocean contrasted against a warm air. We look for that perfect shade of white that avoids

going pink or yellow. Light wire brushing brings out the grain.

ATELIER COLLECTION - COAST FOG

I CEBL INK Inspired by a natural occurrence of an Iceblink, the reflection of light on an icefield appearing on the horizon, reflected on low clouds. The white is more transparent than Coast Fog, allowing more grain to shine through.

ATELIER COLLECTION - ICEBLINK

A color that is enriched by the white embedded in the grain, like the tang of salt in the ocean’s spray. The color of the wood is reminiscent of buoyant driftwood, sunbaked and smoothed by the rolling of waves, the abrasion of sand, and the salt in the pores.

ATELIER COLLECTION - SALT AIR

This color has a radiance that shines from within. We are inspired by the optical phenomena in the natural world and this color reminds us of when sunlight dances upon the surface of water. The warm golden tones cast a mellow patina that is a perfect neutral.

ATELIER COLLECTION - SUN GLINT

A clear natural color that reflects the surrounding colors beautifully, like the way sunlight is cast on a mountain at sunrise and sunset. The color doesn’t cast olive or yellow, but retains a nuanced balance of tones as though the floor had aged in place.

ATELIER COLLECTION - ALPENGLOW

Mysterious and evocative, the color is a layering of the deep ocean darks, the swell of currents, and a layer of hazy mist on the surface. It is a color of grand gestures, of seafaring adventures.

ATELIER COLLECTION - SEA BRUME

A warm brown evocative of that final glimpse of the setting sun. A color that has a richness to give it vibrancy and depth, blending darks to avoid going too orange.

ATELIER COLLECTION - GOLDEN HOUR

A rich brown informed by darkness in the grain. The color speaks to that special moment after a sunset when the sky begins to fade towards dusk. The blending of lights and darks is what makes this floor so unique.

ATELIER COLLECTION - EVENTIDE

A full grey color in twilight as it merges into the dark of night. A deep color that is neither blue nor purple, but a long shadow. The grey tones remind us of ash and driftwood beach fires.

A deep black suggestive of a moonless night. Like Chopin’s musical compositions inspired by nighttime, this color is emotional and atmospheric.

ATELIER COLLECTION - NOCTURNE

These colors reflect DUCHATEAU’s aesthetic for wood floors that appear to be raw, natural, aged in place, created by the elements of sun, wind and time.

The Global Winds Collection™ is the embodiment of DUCHATEAU’s passion for the raw natural beauty of hardwood. Each Global Winds style appears to be created by the elements of sun, wind and time which have matured the color from within, letting the true soul of the wood shine through. Reflecting this connection to nature, each floor is named after one of the unique local winds found across the globe. Global Winds planks are 7.5”/190mm wide, with lengths up to 75”. All are engineered European Oak floors, with an ultra-matte UV lacquer finish.

LEVANTE

SIROCCO

CHINOOK

MISTRAL

BURAN

HARMATTAN

Inspired by the warm wind found in the Aegean Sea, Sirocco is a raw visual, in which the Mediter- ranean sun washed-out the color to a luminous soft white. We avoid the pinks and yellows of lesser pale floors, making it the perfect white tone.

Levante, named after the Moorish wind found at the Strait of Gibraltar, has the look of salt spray from ocean swells against rocky shores. The tone of the floor is enhanced by a mortar ash shade to create the perfect greige.

Chinook blends warm mid-tone browns with a cool cast, inspired by the warm and dry downslope wind unique to the Canadian Rockies.

Mistral appears to have aged in place, reminding us of the floors found in traditional Provencal farmhouses in Southern France, buffeted by the incessant winds.

Harmattan, named after the central Saharan wind that leaves a dusty haze in the afternoon sky, is a neutral mid-tone tan that is nuanced with a light blend of charcoal in the grain.

Buran is evocative of the cold wind found in Eastern Asia. We are obsessed with the perfect dark brown color that does not appear too red or orange,but has the perfect moody, clear tone and depth.

The Terra hardwood floor Collection finds its inspiration in unique natural ecosystems found across the globe. Terra means “Earth,” and from a subarctic snow forest to an open dry grassland, to a high elevation meadow, or an aromatic coastal shrubland, these ecosystems capture our imagination and serve as a reference point in the looks we created. These colors reflect our aesthetic for wood floors that appear to be raw, natural, aged in place, created by the elements of sun, wind and time. Each of the Terra colors are offered in a 9.5”/240mm wide-plank format with lengths up to 86-5/8”, and a coordinating 5” wide by 24” herringbone pattern. All are engineered European Oak floors, with an ultra-matte UV lacquer finish.

ALPINE HERRINGBONE

CHAPARRAL HERRINGBONE

Inspired by the coniferous forest landscape of the far north. The color is a pale natural that is evocative of endless Scandinavian summer daylight.

WIDE PLANK

HERRINGBONE

Inspired by African grasslands, this color has a rich tan glow reminiscent of the dry, endless prairie.

WIDE PLANK

HERRINGBONE

Inspired by high elevation meadows of the Swiss Alps. This natural smoked color reminds us of chalet interiors where the predominate use of wood on every surface has aged in place, becoming a rich patina.

WIDE PLANK

HERRINGBONE

Inspired by the Mediterranean coastal shrubland environment, full of woody plants and aromatic herbal brush. This color is a mid-tone earthy brown.

TWO PERFECT COLORS

AVAILABLE IN SELECT GRADE VERNAL & CHARACTER GRADE CHATEAU.

Bois Fumé (Buh-wa Few-may) is a new DUCHATEAU Signature color. Bois Fumé is a warm mid tone natural brown shade. Smoked wood, or bois fumé in French, is a time-honored tradition of treating wood to bring out the natural darkened tones, changing the wood’s tannins in the process. It also makes the appearance more luminous, casting a glow from within that is impossible to replicate using heavy surface stains. A light wire-brushing is used to subtly bring out the grain and create an ultra-matte non-reflective surface.

Origine (Ora-jheen) is a new DUCHATEAU Signature color. Origine means “original” in French, and this European oak floor has the appearance of freshly sawn wood, untouched by heavy stains or treatments that would obscure the natural grain. Capturing this raw quality is actually a multi-step process to prepare and treat the wood so that the look retains the perfect natural European oak color.
