Kährs Design Stories 39
The structure and feeling of the surface is just as important as the color in how you perceive a floor leading projects within this area. She cooperates closely with the design team at Kährs, as well as suppliers, to constantly perfect the looks, durability and sustainability of the surface treatments. – A lot has happened within this area since I began working for Kährs seven years ago. Focus is on aesthetics – colors and looks – technical performance and environmental aspects, Sara says. Before e.g. a new finish is used, it goes through a number of tests – both by Kährs, the supplier and external testing institutes in order to ensure that it lives up to the company’s high demands. – Some people ask how I can be so dedicated to what they see as a small detail. But it’s not just one type of surface treatment, look or property. There’s lots of them! Each with unique performance and a lot of development work behind. The surface is such an important part of how you perceive a floor and provides with the important protection of the wood. It’s fascinating how you can dig so deep in every detail, Sara says.
