Snedker Studio's Marbled Wood Flooring

As part of Copenhagen's Snedker Studio, textile designer Pernille Snedker Hansen creates marvelous painted wood floors using the ancient handcrafted art of marbling (the technique used to create classic endpapers for books). By swirling paint onto a fluid surface and dipping planks onto the paint, the marbling design is transferred.

Her Refraction Series #1 fits together beautifully and can be configured in a bookmatched pattern...


...and Refraction #2 can be configured into a chevron pattern.


I think her Wave pattern might be my favorite. She says her aim with this technique is to invoke old-growth tree rings and this pattern feels wonderfully organic.


And for some curves, the Arch series creates a pleasing, rhythmic pattern.


Here's how she does it!




I would love to use these incredible, one-of-a-kind planks for a project. Anyone?
Happy designing!
