Global Winds Collection

The embodiment of DUCHATEAU’s passion for the raw, natural beauty of hardwood.

Each Global Winds style appears to be created by the elements of sun, wind and time which have matured the color from within, letting the true soul of the wood shine through. Reflecting this connection to nature, each floor is named after one of the unique local winds found across the globe.

Global Winds planks are 7.5”/190mm wide, with lengths up to 75”.  All are engineered European white oak floors, with an ultra-matte UV lacquer finish.

Sirocco

Description

Inspired by the warm wind found in the Aegean Sea, Sirocco is a raw visual, in which the Mediterranean sun washed-out the color to a luminous soft white. We avoid the pinks and yellows of lesser pale floors, making it the perfect white tone.

(Color)

Levante

Description

Levante, named after the Moorish wind found at the Strait of Gibraltar, has the look of salt spray from ocean swells against rocky shores. The tone of the floor is enhanced by a mortar ash shade to create the perfect greige.

Chinook

Description

Chinook blends warm mid-tone browns with a cool cast, inspired by the warm and dry downslope wind unique to the Canadian Rockies.

Mistral

Description

Mistral appears to have aged in place, reminding us of the floors found in traditional Provencal farmhouses in Southern France, buffeted by the incessant winds.

(Color)

Harmattan

Description

A clear natural color that reflects the surrounding colors beautifully, like the way sunlight glows upon a mountain at sunrise and sunset. The color doesn’t cast olive or yellow, but retains a nuanced balance of tones as though the floor has aged in place.

Buran

Description

Summer Solstice celebrates the longest day of the year and highest position of the sun in the sky. This color embodies a feeling that the best days are yet to come—days radiant with sunshine and celebration, cultivation and festivity. This color, inspired by that feeling, is a raw natural that gleams at the true center of our Atelier spectrum, with neither light nor dark in its undertones.
