Among the tree species typical of the southern forests of Quebec, maple holds a prominent place. This native tree is especially known for its use in furniture making. Its dense, hard wood features pale tones ranging from beige to pink. The blend of textures and patterns in the wood can sometimes resemble a painting. This particular maple roundel is unique in that its undulating effects tend to overshadow the growth lines, creating an impression of fluidity, as if a soft light is passing through the material. The bark sections disrupt the perfect geometry of the circle, reminding us that the piece is, above all, the result of a natural, organic, and living material.
The pieces in the Cambium Arte collection are the result of careful attention and a deep respect for the solid wood that passes through our hands. At MATPEL Ecological Carpentry, our craftsmen focus on uncovering, preserving, and revealing exceptional pieces hidden in the smallest wood scraps and boards. Cambium Arte is a collection of wall art made exclusively from local wood species. Each piece is crafted with care, by hand, and with respect. Moreover, the finish applied contains low VOCs, preserving the natural appearance of the wood while enhancing its details. The hanging or mounting systems are pre-installed and thoughtfully designed. All that’s left is to hang the pieces on the wall!
