What inspired new designs from The LUJO® Collection?

The ten new designs feature luxurious wood species across a range of five color categories. Sandy Beige designs like Harding Oak and Granville Cherry evoke images of serene beaches, providing the warming presence of untouched woodgrain. Choose Nostalgic Brown designs for rich, earthy textures that feel grounded to nature. Anderson Cherry, Claremont Oak, Kinglake, and Mangrove all fit this color category with their striking interpretation of medium and dark woodgrain tones. Mangrove is particularly unique because of its Seno Etimoe inspiration. Newlands is also inspired by Seno Etimoe, an exotic wood species from West and Central Africa that currently faces real-world exploitation. Choosing designs from The LUJO® Collection is the best way to include exotic woodgrains in your next project while preserving natural resources.

Find clean, organic tones that embody a Fresh White design like Brookfield Elm or discover neutral practicality and comfort with Fundamental Grey designs like Harrison Elm and Sherbrooke. Finally, explore the depths of nature with Newlands, the Seno Etimoe-inspired Mythical Black design that has joined the catalog.

New designs from The LUJO® Collection were engineered on the foundation of three interior design trends. First, Crafted Calm refers to the popular combination of the casual luxury and refined rustic aesthetics — and Brookfield Elm, Harrison Elm, Harding Oak, and Claremont Oak all fit this description. For a new take on the traditional countryside aesthetic, use Granville Cherry and Anderson Cherry to achieve the Fresh Heritage trend. Or keep your project Dark and Moody with luxe, linear woodgrains like Newlands, Kinglake, Mangrove, and Sherbrooke to offer dramatic contrast and convey a deep sense of luxury.

To fully understand the trends that inspired the 2023 design launch from The LUJO® Collection, the new Silken Wood (-17) finish must be mentioned. Luxury matte finishes are rising in popularity, and Silken Wood is revolutionizing the market with a unique textural experience on select designs. How will the Silken Wood finish help your project stand out? Thanks to engineered innovation and the design expertise of our team, Silken Wood pairs a silky touch with intriguing visual features found in a quarter sawn grain structure, like open or dense ticking in linear arrangements. The overall effect is a luxury matte texture with subtle woodgrain movement that complements your modern approach to interior décor. 

Use new luxury woodgrains from The LUJO® Collection in any space that deserves the highest standard in nature-inspired design. In commercial environments, woodgrain accents offer an escapist luxury to synthesize the feelings of home and hospitality. Spaces that can benefit from the beauty of The LUJO® Collection include kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, living rooms, and laundry rooms. Or use the latest designs for cabinet casework, cabinet interiors, closets, or open shelving.
