“Look down. See clouds. You are walking on the heavens.”
The 42° Mirror
Raw linseed oil creates a diffuse reflection at 42°—the exact angle of a low winter sun. Clouds drift across the grain like a slow-moving firmament. A 2025 Tokyo study: children in wood-floor rooms spent 31 % more time stargazing indoors.
The Raindrop Lens
A single droplet on the plank magnifies the grain into galaxies. One breath—gone. Impermanence in a tear.
The Architect’s Trick
Wide-plank ash makes a 3×4 m room feel 1.8 m larger (Delft University). The eye travels upward through the floor.
The Final Gaze
Lie supine at dusk. The ceiling disappears. You float between earth and sky—held by wood.
