Our Story
Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban is produced by Pieter Weijnen and our Zwarthout Team. In 2008 Pieter Weijnen visited the Venice Biennale as an architect where he became acquainted with the work of Terunobu Fujimori. This Japanese architect frequently uses the traditional technique of Shou Sugi Ban in his work. Pieter was impressed by the beauty and durability of the charred wood, and took a trip to Japan to investigate the product and its production. In some parts of Japan, houses are still covered with Shou Sugi Ban. Over several years, Pieter Weijnen became more proficient in the technique and developed it further into an efficient production process that preserved the quality of the black wood. This led to the founding of our company Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban in mid-2012.
Meanwhile, we have revived the traditional Japanese Shou Sugi Ban by combining old-fashioned craftsmanship with modern technology. In our workshop we burn each piece of wood in a controlled way in our self-developed oven. This ensures consistency and uniform technical specifications. Each panel shows the elemental force of fire: the color and texture of the wood. We are continually developing new ways of burning, and utilizing new durable wood finishes and new biobased resin and oil. Zwarthout | Shou Sugi Ban is a beautiful low-tech product. Each variant has its own specific characteristics and applications, both aesthetically and structrally. Zwarthout is used, as durable cladding, for interiors and for furniture.
As builder-architects we look critically at the design of the new buildings for which we supply the wood while simultaneously contributing to the development of an age-old technique. Shou Sugi Ban requires the attention of all participants in a construction project: producer, contractor, architect and construction worker. From choosing the best wood to designing the right detail. This is how we contribute to the development of an age-old technique. This specific attention, a passion for wood and durability, that is what you’ll find in all our projects: they each have a unique look. Would you like to learn more? We are happy to advise you!
