Why OYLIN Selects

A charcoal-toned natural stone defined by layered mineral bands reminiscent of ancient timber grain.

ANCIENT TIMBER is a charcoal-toned stone organised by fine, layered bands. The resemblance to aged wood comes from rhythm and direction, not from literal imitation: silver-grey lines compress, separate and rejoin across a darker mineral ground. This controlled movement suits objects with a clear silhouette, where the grain can reinforce height, width or curvature. OYLIN considers the cutting orientation before detailing the piece, particularly for cylindrical lamp bodies and linear furniture components. The selected material is reviewed for band continuity, tonal depth and the way the pattern will meet at visible edges or junctions.

Pattern Selection

Natural pattern, tone and mineral distribution vary by piece and batch. The proposed material is reviewed before production.
