In many old cultures, the birch is a sacred tree that is said to have many health-enhancing properties. Its slender and graceful shape, enveloped by white bark, is its hallmark. Birch bark has been popular with artisans for centuries because of its characteristic texture as well as its suppleness and leather-like flexibility.
The surface is carefully removed and then assembled into panel elements of 480 x 480 mm. Their easy handling now allows them to be used also as wall coverings and for the production of pictures from real birch bark.

NATURAL WALL DESIGN SURFACES by Freund
Freund natural bark panels and other natural materials are perfect for walls, ceilings and facades. They create a sense of calm, stability and individuality. Incorporated into modern living spaces, they provide a sense of comfort and security. The unique aesthetic and texture of the material creates a striking contrast to the straight lines and cool surfaces that are often found in modern architecture.
The process of feeling connected to nature, respecting it and harnessing its power – for the benefit of both humans and nature – forms a logical cycle.
Yet it is not merely a passion for nature that drives the family business but also a deeply rooted concern for ecology. Providing materials that respect people and nature, having been carefully and sustainably harvested and prepared, is a matter that is dear to their hearts. Freund products represent the highest level of quality.
Are there any special requirements for your project? Upon request, Freund can provide fire protection certification, flexibility, or moisture resistance for many of its natural materials.
