Wood is an Attitude

begin the journey
The PARÁL DNA
The manifesto

For PARÁL wood is a material, a culture, a philosophy and a way of life.

But wood must be studied, appreciated, understood and loved to be most appropriately recommended and used. For this it must be internalised and felt through a natural instinct.

That is not for everybody, but it is for PARÁL.

Who we serve

We speak with those who design

Our interlocutor is the designer: it is through you that PARÁL wood reaches private clients and general contractors.

Architects and interior designers

your Concept
How we operate

Two promises, no exceptions

No problem

Technical mandate

We recognise the architect's complete authority over the project while assuming overall responsibility for its management and implementation — freeing the professional of bureaucratic, detailed costing and technical feasibility issues.

Only for you

Creative first

No sampler containing standardised choices, but total freedom with regard to formats, wood types and finishes.

Wood People

One tree, three natures.
One direction.

Like a tree: the crown that innovates, the trunk that sustains, the roots that know. And around them, a direction holding everything together.

Around the tree, discreetly, there is a direction: the Wood Master. Born of experience and a passion for wood, grown over time like a tree. The Wood Master coordinates Wood Designer, Wood Executive and Wood Lab, and guarantees that the final result corresponds exactly to the project.

Wood Lab

The crown · innovation

Over and above research and development: expert and visionary professionals operating where innovation, research and the latest trends meet. Constant attention to ongoing evolution in design and lifestyles allows us to identify and develop new stylistic directions — giving free expression to your design ideas. Our Wood Wellness and Wood Experience processes lead us to rare and unfamiliar woods, to create and test finishes and new frontiers of materials.

Finishes research

Together we investigate new types of finish, bringing out the natural qualities of the material or creating new visual and colour effects.

Surface light

We assess different juxtapositions of light and material, because every setting, every light, every structure is unique.

Touch emotion

Rough, smooth, soft touch: the tactile experience is pure emotion. Wood has its own character and we develop it.

Mood & Trend

Never stop! We analyse future design, lifestyle and fashion trends and apply them in our stylistic research. We look beyond.

Wood Wellness

Wood: solid, changing and alive. We investigate the connection between natural essences and physical and mental well-being.
