The Whisper of Width: Why Wider Planks Enlarge the Soul
“Space is not measured in meters, but in heartbeats between grains.”



 
The 300 mm EffectPlanks wider than 260 mm reduce visual joints by 60 %. The eye travels uninterrupted—like gazing across a meadow. Perceived room size increases 1.7 m in a 4×4 m space (Delft University).
 
The Single-Tree StoryOne 340 mm board can come from a single trunk. You walk the entire diameter of a 19th-century life.
 
The Acoustic HorizonFewer seams = fewer sound reflections. Reverberation falls another 9 dB. Silence stretches.
 
The Luxury of LessWider planks mean fewer trees harvested per room. Abundance through restraint.
