Design Details in Wood

Not sure how sustainable this is, but it was certainly amazing to look at. In the check in area of Paris Charles de Gaulle, the entire ceiling was covered in raw wood panels. A beautiful texture and color, and while rough up close, incredibly tightly composed at the scale it was employed at. There were also color changes as the ceiling moved through space, leaving us to believe this might be reclaimed wood!

Past the security area, steamed wood panels adorn the ceiling in an interesting overlay pattern. Letting in light and exposing some of the metal structure behind. A nice contrast to just plain steel and glass constructions, that often look very cold and uninviting.

Other details, like the informational graphics, were also very progressive and a pleasure to look at!
