SELECT NORTHERN OAK FLOORS IN SMOKY TAUPE-BROWN TONES

Prato presents a nuanced taupe, inspired by the stone-brown hues of Northern Italy. Its medium mid-brown character creates a soft, balanced look that feels both warm and modern.

Prato (Select Northern Oak)

Wide, long planks of Elite Grade Select Northern Oak provide a clean, consistent canvas. A careful interplay of warm and cool undertones creates a balanced mid-brown with subtle depth and clarity. The result is a quietly sophisticated floor that pairs beautifully with light textiles, natural finishes, and layered, design-conscious interiors.

Prato (Select Northern Oak)

CRAFT’s sophisticated colour finishing process elevates the natural elegance of wood, creating depth and richness while accentuating the wood’s beauty. A light, wire-brushed texture preserves a smooth, refined surface without overly exposing the grain.
