 The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification system is reshaping industry standards. From the Brazilian rainforest to the Siberian Taiga, each certified wood can be traced to the longitude and latitude coordinates of a specific forest area. The "thinning and replanting" model adopted by the Swedish Centennial Wood Group allows three seedlings to be replanted for every tree harvested to maintain a sustainable cycle of forest carbon sink function.


The journey of regenerating discarded wood floors is full of imagination. Dutch designers will be recycled oak floor after crushing, combined with bio-resin pressed into a new decorative plate; Japan Building Materials Laboratory developed wood-concrete composite technology to make old floors become reinforcement materials for building structures; Some artists use the mottled old floor directly as a canvas to create installation art full of age texture.

On the viewing platform of Tokyo Skytree, the ground transformed from discarded container boards carries the footsteps of tens of thousands of tourists every day. Sealed in a special transparent resin, these timbers, which have weathered the storms of shipping, continue to tell the story of global trade. This design philosophy of symbiosis between the old and the new is the deep metaphor of the development of contemporary wood flooring - both to continue the gift of nature and to carry the memory of human civilization.

When we walk barefoot through the warm wood floor, the sole of the foot feels not only the appropriate touch of 26 ° C, but also the wisdom of human and nature reconciliation temperature. From wooden houses in the forests of Scandinavia to duplex apartments in Shanghai alleys, wooden floors have always been a natural ark for urban people to place their minds. In the blueprint of future human settlements, this material, which originates from the earth and belongs to the earth, will continue to write the poem of living in this era.
