The rescuing of forests, known through a trip or a story told, awakens the sensation that there is something there that must be preserved.

With this in mind, Arco was created, a gesture to protect, from the impact of time and everything else that could threaten nature's grandeur - a selection of woods that could represent an imaginary forest, with all the woods in the world. It is a simple and ambitious display, that provoked the creative work and a journey to a new surface.

Rescuing woods, discovering new species, enabling them to travel and reuniting a diverse archive of unmatched beauty, is the design challenge. Recreating the woods, intensifying or dampening their markings, finding the best balance of new shades and cultivating a new forest – now material, now a new collection of woods, as result of a process that differentiated it and guaranteed its authenticity.

Arca Nórdic, from the gradient knots of European Oak to the earthy warmth of the tropical species, a diversity balanced with the soft tones of the light in the region. 

Arca Tropical, the diversity of the trees that display themselves with more freedom, under the intense light of the tropics.
