SHOU SUGI BAN

While travelling through Japan, our founder, architect Pieter Weijnen, became fascinated with the beauty and sustainability of black charred wood. He then set out to master the traditional Shou Sugi Ban wood charring technique. In order to guarantee the quality of the black charred wood in terms of uniformity and sustainability, he even developed his own, highly efficient production process. This resulted in the founding of our company Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban in mid 2012... Since 2012 Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban produces exclusive wood products by treating the wood with fire. Our charring masters char each wooden board in our own oven, resulting in a unique, sustainable carbon layer. The special Shou Sugi Ban charring technique we use is inspired by an age-old Japanese tradition.
