Reclaimed wood is not simply old wood. It is a fragment of time: after serving for decades as part of a house or ship, it is dismantled, reprocessed, and given a new purpose.
Three Types of Reclaimed Wood
Jeju reclaimed wood comes from buildings that endured sea winds and moisture; hanok reclaimed wood comes from old tiled-roof houses and historic residences; and naval-vessel reclaimed wood comes from ships that once served at sea and were later dismantled. Even when the reclaimed wood is the same, the environment it passed through remains clearly visible on its surface.

Rather than erasing old nail holes, cracks, and scratches, they are preserved as texture. To ensure long-lasting use, a reinforcing frame is fitted to the back to provide structural support.
