Savu (Smoke)
Savu captures the haze of the north and its delicate beauty. Misty tones of shimmering darkness evoke a sense of calm and mystique.
Applications
Manufacturing
Savu product is made by charring the wood surface at over 1000 °C using Hiil's charring technology. After charring, the product is pressure-washed, dried and oiled with clear special linseed oil. The oil adds protection and binds the char so that it does not dust or flake off.
