Savorak piers in charred wood

Story

Savorak has added a new material option to its pier range: charred wood from Hiil. The look that fits shores and water comes from a surface that is dark and calm while still showing the grain. From Hiil’s range, Savorak’s piers use Noki. It is a charred, washed and brushed surface, with black tint added when oiling, so the result is a very dark, blackish brown.

Pier materials are under stress from all sides. Sun, water and footfall hit not only the deck but also the edges and underside of the boards. With Hiil, the wood is charred on all four sides and oiled by spraying warm oil onto warm wood from every side, so the oil penetrates deeper than with brushing. In practice this is surface saturation of the wood, which supports long-term durability.

In Savorak’s messaging, charred wood is highlighted as part of more durable and ecological material choices for the waterfront, and the same line shows in their terraces and outdoor furniture. Charred wood brings the same character there as to the piers: a dark surface, clear rhythm and a finish that stands up to use.
