📜 Origin & History

Raw Wood is a faithful reproduction of the color of untreated wood surfaces. This color has accompanied human civilization since the Wood Age, making it one of the earliest colors familiar to humans. In ancient times, Raw Wood was the authentic appearance of buildings and tools.

In traditional East Asian architecture and furniture, Raw Wood has long been revered. Japanese temple architecture from the Asuka to Nara periods preserved the natural color of wood, using 'plain wood construction' to showcase the beauty of materials—a tradition that continues today.

In 18th-century Europe, rustic furniture often retained the natural wood color, contrasting sharply with the opulent court furniture. This simple style, promoted by Rousseau's naturalist philosophy, became an important symbol of the pursuit of a simple and authentic life.

In 20th-century Nordic modernist design, Raw Wood became a core color of Scandinavian style. Designers favored the natural color of wood, using light wood veneers to create bright and airy living spaces.

Since the 21st century, as environmental awareness has grown, Raw Wood has become increasingly popular in interior design. People yearn to preserve a touch of nature amidst the concrete jungle, and Raw Wood serves as an emotional link between humanity and nature.
