Vardo

Vardo Profile

Vardo is a contemporary woodgrain finish within the PG Bison MelaWood range, specifically noted for its inclusion in the premium Demand and Natural Touch collections.

Aesthetic and Texture

Vardo offers a sophisticated, smoky grey woodgrain appearance. It is designed to provide a modern, organic look that bridges the gap between traditional timber and industrial grey tones.

• Natural Touch Finish: This is the signature finish for Vardo. It provides a soft, velvety matt feel that mimics the texture of real wood veneer. The fine, subtle texture enhances the “crown cut” grain pattern, which features the characteristic flames and cathedrals of natural timber.

• Aesthetic Tone: The color is a desaturated, cool-toned grey with visible woodgrain detailing. This makes it an ideal choice for “Scandi-industrial” designs or spaces requiring a muted, professional wood finish.

Design Applications

Vardo is highly versatile due to its neutral grey-brown palette:

• Sophisticated Cabinetry: Often used for full-height kitchen units or sleek, modern bathroom vanities where a tactile, non-reflective surface is desired.

• Contemporary Furniture: Frequently selected for executive office desks, coffee tables, and floating media units to add a touch of warmth without the yellow or red undertones of traditional wood.

• Wall Cladding: Its realistic texture and large sheet size make it suitable for decorative vertical panels in both residential and commercial lobbies.

Recommended Pairings

Vardo is designed to work well with both light and dark solid colors:

• Crisp Contrast: Pair with Iceberg White or Picco White for a high-contrast, clean look that emphasizes the smoky grain of the Vardo boards.

• Moody Tones: Combine with Storm Grey or Kalapana for a darker, more masculine interior palette.

• Metallics and Solids: It pairs well with matte black hardware for a minimalist look, or brushed stainless steel to highlight the grey tones in the woodgrain.
