Walnut wall panelling, dash relief

Solid walnut wall panelling, highlighted by horizontal dashes. A calm textured timber wall from across a room, a relief surface up close.

The face is solid walnut, set as vertical strips of varying width and thickness. Crossed, at irregular intervals, by the signature: short horizontal pieces of pale sun-bleached sapwood — raised slightly above the surface, set into the joints between columns.

The pattern reads at two scales. Across a room, a calm textured timber wall. Close to, a relief surface that shifts with the light — under directional or top lighting the dashes throw shadow; under flat ambient light the sapwood-to-heartwood contrast carries.

Hand-assembled on a birch plywood backing and finished with hard wax oil. Suitable for full-height feature walls, bar fronts, kitchen island side panels, furniture doors, and commercial installations — with fire-retardant and moisture-resistant variants for applications that call for them.

Materials specifications

Base Model

Face material: solid American black walnut
Finish: hard wax oil (semi matt)
Base
: 6.5 mm birch plywood (12 mm lightweight option available)
Machinable
: Can be hand or machine cut
LEAD TIMES:  3 to 6 weeks depending on quantity ordered

Moisture Resistant

Finish: Base coat of Osmo Wood Protector, two top coats of semimat Osmo Hard Wax Oil (optional UV protection)

Base: 6 or 9mm marine (or birch) plywood, sealed with a PVA coat.

Glue: D4 PVA

Suited to: interior areas with frequent, short-term exposure to moisture and high humidity, such as kitchens and bathroom applications in zones 2 and 3

Fire Retardant

Two finishing options.Thermoguard Fire Varnishwhere UV protection is required; theRubio Monocoat FR Oil Systemotherwise — oil is the preferred finish, retaining the natural feel and tonal depth of the timber that a varnish would seal over.

UV Finish: Thermoguard Fire Varnish (Euroclass B-s2,d0 · BS Class 0/1)

FR specification subject to confirmation per project — full data sheets, certificate of supply, and adhesive TDS available on request.

IMO Marine specification

For installations on yachts and cruise ships, the IMO version, built with the materials tested at the standards required to support compliance with IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5 (surface flammability). Test data and material declarations are supplied with the order. Final IMO / MED certification, class society approval, and flag-state acceptance are the buyer's responsibility — Artimatum is not a certifying body.

Test basis: IMO 2010 FTP Code Part 5 surface flammability
Optional test pack: FTP Code Part 2 smoke density and toxicity
Supplied with the order: materials test certificate, declaration and technical data sheets
Certification: issued by class society or notified body, instigated by the buyer (Artimatum supplies the test pack; the buyer obtains the certification
Suited for: interior bulkheads, and feature walls on yachts and cruise ships.

Final IMO / MED / class approval is obtained by the buyer through their nominated certifying body.

LEED upgrade

Both the moisture-resistant and fire-retardant variants can be specified to meet LEED requirements. The upgrade coversFSC-certified hardwood,no-added-formaldehyde plywood, andlow-VOC adhesives and finishes— supporting credits in Materials & Resources (responsible sourcing, EPD/HPD) and Indoor Environmental Quality (low-emitting materials).

Face material: FSC-certified American black walnut
Base material: FSC-certified, no-added-formaldehyde
Adhesive: low-VOC, SCAQMD Rule 1168 compliant

Two design levers

columns and dividers

columns

Columns can be specified at any width between 50 and 120 mm( default 67 mm). Wider columns suit tall, generous spaces, they read as architecture from across a room. Narrower columns suit smaller-scale work such as furniture panels and door faces.

Dividers

Three controls

colour - size - concentration

Colour

Dividers can be specified to contrast with the columns or to match them. Contrasting dividers carry the pattern through tonal difference. Matched dividers carry it through shadow — particularly effective on lighter or more uniform timbers, where directional or top lighting brings the relief forward; under flat ambient light, the surface reads as a quiet uniform timber.

Size

Divider size can be changed where taller elements aren't practical, such as on furniture panels and cabinet doors

Concentration

Wooden wall paneling with embedded lighting in a modern interior setting.

Concentration shapes the character of the surface. Where the dashes sit on the panel — randomly distributed, centre-clustered, or arranged to a specific brief — defines how the surface reads. With the right lighting, a deliberate concentration can produce a cascading flow across a wall, or pull the viewer's eye toward a focal point.
