SPECIALIST TILING 100% LUXURIOUS
Following the success of Hakwood’s sponsored feature ‘HakFolly’ for Clerkenwell Design Week 2016, Hakwood has chosen 100% Design on 21st – 24th September at Olympia, London, to sponsor a show-stopping entranceway feature for the exhibition.
The installation titled ‘Design Path’ is commissioned by 100% Design and is in collaboration with Dutch wood flooring manufacturer Hakwood. The feature is a 15m long trail of Hakwood European oak Duoplank in a colourful herringbone pattern.
Inspired by this year’s 100% Design theme ‘immerse’, the fluid installation, designed by Sally Hogarth meanders across the exhibition floor, exploring vibrations and water patterns. Each plank of wood functions as a section of river generating ripples in the water.
“THE WALKWAY CONSISTS OF 943 PIECES OF HAKWOOD
EUROPEAN OAK.”
The designer, Sally Hogarth, states: “Taking the variety of colours and textures available in the Hakwood range as a starting point, ‘Design Path’ combines bespoke colours to reinvent the herringbone pattern with movements found in nature. 100% Design visitors will walk over and along the ‘Design Path’ as they enter the exhibition, playing on this year’s theme of ‘immerse’ and the creative process designers take.
“The colour pallet used pays homage to the variety of shades found within water in motion - the garnet red pieces alluding to unexpected shades created by reflections of surroundings. The walkway consists of 943 pieces of Hakwood European oak intricately woven into the iconic herringbone style which comes to form wavelets across the floor. The variations of natural wood colours used create a sense of depth and shade as visitors walk along their way into the show.”

Hakwood’s previous sponsored structural installation was a great success. The striking installation ‘HakFolly’ was designed and built by FleaFollyArchitects as a reference to the monastic past of London’s St. Johns gate. After a visit to the Hakwood factory, FleaFolly was inspired by the quantity and repetition of stacked wood in and around the factory. They turned this visual into a surprisingly sophisticated installation design of stacked timber that received a vast amount of attention during this year’s CDW event.
