Yakisugi

A playful abstraction, Yakisugi’s pattern explores line and connection with a new technique for cork wallcoverings — laser cutting. Surface dyed sheets of natural cork are first laser cut, then backed with metallic foil to highlight the line work. Laser cutting burns the material, creating a dark outline and inspiring the specialty wallcovering’s name, a reference to traditional Japanese charred cedar. Yakisugi installs as a partial match or non-match in a gorgeous fluid pattern that becomes the focal point of a space.
