Mardegan Legno, are globally renowned for their handcrafted, bespoke flooring. The owner of this gorgeous home worked closely with Mardegan Legno to design a custom board in Slavonian Oak “Moorgate” Essence Rovere with a hand-made lightly brushed finish. This exquisite wood flooring is more than just your average surface, it’s a fusion of traditional craftsmanship and innovation. The rich tones and fine textures of the oak evoke a sense of luxury, while the natural grain and subtle brushing add depth and character. It’s a style that feels both timeless and fresh, grounding the space in an earthy yet sophisticated aesthetic.
Craftsmanship Meets Nature’s Elegance
At the heart of Mardegan Legno’s offering is its attention to the natural beauty of wood. In this project the A/B Grade Slavonian Oak “Moorgate” colour from the ‘London My Life’ collection represents the perfect balance of organic characteristics, such as minimal knots and even grain patterns, introducing the warmth of timber into the home without being overpowering. Each plank carries a story of nature, shaped by the hands of skilled artisans who elevate it into something truly unique.
The Power of Pattern: 90-Degree Spina Italiana (Herringbone)
One of the defining features of this flooring is its striking 90-degree Spina Italiana (Herringbone) pattern. The classic, geometric design adds a layer of sophistication, enhancing the architectural beauty of the room. This timeless pattern is versatile, fitting seamlessly into both contemporary and traditional interiors. The dimensions of 90x600mm create an elegant flow, making it suitable for a variety of spaces—from intimate rooms to expansive open areas. Whether you’re aiming for a cozy, modern look or a grand, classic design, the Spina Italiana pattern provides balance, rhythm, and visual interest.
A Finish That Speaks of Subtle Luxury
The medium brushed finish on the “Moorgate” Essence Rovere is another characteristic of Mardegan Legno’s premium craftsmanship. This hand-made process enhances the natural grain of the wood while maintaining a soft, elegant texture. It strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern sophistication, making it an ideal choice for those who seek understated luxury.
What’s more, this finish is not only beautiful but also durable. It adds resilience to everyday wear while preserving the wood’s natural appeal, ensuring that the flooring will age gracefully over time. With its earthy, grounded aesthetic, the lightly brushed finish brings a tactile richness to any space.
The flooring is equipped with protective coatings that utilise nano-technology, making it highly resistant to damage from high heels or stilettos. While the flooring is varnished for protection, the finishing process involves massaging the stain into the wood grain using a traditional cloth technique. This gives it a natural, handfinished appearance without sacrificing durability. The result of this unique process is a finish that requires no regular maintenance – just simple cleaning.
