Black Cherry

Black Cherry Profile

Black Cherry is a classic woodgrain finish in the PG Bison MelaWood range. It is a heritage-inspired design that offers a traditional, polished look for residential and commercial spaces.

Aesthetic and Texture

Black Cherry is characterized by its deep, rich reddish-brown tones and subtle grain structure. It is designed to mimic the appearance of stained cherry wood, providing a sense of warmth and formality.

• Peen Finish: This is the most common texture for Black Cherry. It features a stippled, low-sheen effect that is highly durable and practical for high-traffic areas, as it effectively hides minor scratches and fingerprints.

• Linear Finish: Occasionally available in a Linear texture, which adds a strong, straight grain feel to the board. This texture emphasizes the “growth rings” of the wood, giving it a more structured and modern architectural feel.

• Natural Touch: When paired with a soft matte finish like Natural Touch, the color appears more velvety and sophisticated, making it suitable for high-end furniture and “calm” interior designs.

Design Applications

Because of its traditional roots and dark profile, Black Cherry is a staple for formal environments:

• Office Furniture: A popular choice for boardroom tables, executive desks, and reception counters where a professional and established look is required.

• Built-in Wardrobes: Used extensively in bedrooms to create a cozy, rich atmosphere.

• Wall Panelling: Ideal for creating a library or study aesthetic when used as full-height wall cladding.

• Carcasses and Shelving: Its warm tone makes it a preferred option for the internal structures of high-end cabinetry.

Recommended Pairings

To modernize Black Cherry and prevent it from feeling dated, consider these combinations:

• Neutral Solids: Pair with Folkstone Grey or Cloud White to brighten the space and allow the rich cherry tones to stand out as a feature.

• Metallic Accents: It looks exceptional with brushed gold, bronze, or copper handles, which highlight the red undertones in the woodgrain.

• Dark Contrast: For a moody, masculine palette, combine it with Storm Grey or Charcoal.
