We are excited to announce the upcoming launch of Hardwood & Design, a biannual magazine dedicated to showcasing the exceptional role of hardwood in architecture and design. This publication aims to inspire architects, designers, and builders to integrate hardwood into their projects, emphasizing sustainable and innovative applications.

The inaugural issue, scheduled for release this May, will delve into various topics, including sustainability insights, versatile uses of hardwood, and the environmental benefits. By highlighting these aspects, Hardwood & Design seeks to drive demand and create new opportunities within the hardwood industry.

We are particularly proud to recognize the efforts of Brooke Pajkurich, our newly appointed Hardwood Technical Design Director. Brooke brings a unique combination of technical expertise and creative passion to the role. She thrives on connecting with architects, designers, and builders, advocating for hardwood as
the ideal choice for sustainable, innovative design. Her background is as dynamic as her role.

A licensed artist with experience in product design, carpentry, and home improvement, she has a hands-on appreciation for craftsmanship and creativity. Her curiosity and determination fuel her ability to tackle challenges, whether she’s presenting the latest trends in hardwood applications or building meaningful relationships across the architecture and design community. Brooke’s resourceful and adventurous spirit ensures that she’ll be an inspiring advocate for the hardwood industry, helping to position our products as both sustainable and beautiful.

Together, we are redefining the future of hardwood in design and construction. Stay tuned for the first issue of Hardwood & Design this May!
