We are extremely excited to announce that our deal with Edition Lignatur by Keuco and Team 7 has now been signed. From September, KSL will be one of only three selected stockists in the UK to offer their exclusive new Venetian Oak bathroom furniture.
The Edition Lignatur furniture collection is designed by renowned designer Dominique Tessero. It is the result of a collaboration between Keuco, with its expertise in washbasins, light mirrors, accessories and fittings and Team 7 – a company that has been producing solid furniture for every area of the home since 1959. The outcome of this partnership is an extraordinary bathroom finishing concept with furniture from solid wood; Walnut, Oak and Venetian Oak reclaimed from the sea.
The Venetian Oak Furniture is, in our opinion, incredible. It gets its unique appearance from natural embellishments produced by a shellfish (known as shipworm) that has drilled shelter holes in ship planks and other water-borne wood structures. Venice is the perfect home for shipworm. With its innumerable oak poles bored into the sandy ground, the city is a true shipworm paradise. The resulting beams, when thoroughly dried, become a most coveted wood for furniture: Venetian Oak. Board after board, individually refined thanks to the tireless work of shipworm.
Edition Lignatur is made with perfectionism. Before any furniture production begins, a special work step called ‘painting with wood’ is first carried out. Whereby the individual slats that make up the natural wood panels are arranged to make sure they look good together. It’s not just the colours but also the patterns of the woods that should harmonise. As a result each panel is unique, custom-made for each individual order. The surfaces of the wood are not sealed but treated with organically pure protective oil. It mainly consists of linseed oil, sunflower oil, soy oil, carnauba wax and beeswax.
Within the Venetian Oak base units, it is possible to combine washbasins made of Varicor or ceramic. The washbasins can also be combined with Keuco wall-mounted fittings and accessories for the perfect finishing touch.
We can’t wait for Edition Lignatur to arrive in the showroom. The plans for the display area are in progress. By the end of September you’ll be able to visit us and take a look at the quality of Edition Lignatur for yourself.
“This has to be one of the most exciting moments in KSL’s history” says Managing Director Richard Hibbert. “Edition Lignatur is in a class of its own. To be selected to be, one of such a small number of stockists in this country, goes to show that we are growing our reputation for design excellence and quality of our product offering.
