Durapalm by Smith & Fong Co.

This design encompassed the use and application of both Durapalm and Plyboo by Smith & Fong bamboo (not shown) plywoods. For the wall mounted shelving units, the linear grain coconut palm plywood was employed. The design approach was clean and straight forward letting the linear lamination of the material and warmth of the natural palm speak for itself. In keeping with the color and tone of the design and capturing every bit of utility from the material, the palm round cuts from the wine rack construction were used as coasters for drink service. Perky’s Café was a clean, smart execution of design and function.

Selecting the optimal wall treatment for your restaurant involves aligning with your theme, ensuring durability and acoustic efficiency, and complementing your lighting design. Incorporate color psychology and branding while balancing aesthetics with budget and sustainability. Highlight architectural features and consider adaptable solutions for future updates. For the upscale Mexican restaurant Macanda in Wayzata, MN, Durapalm palm wood panels were chosen to help set a natural tone and add dimension and a high-end level of detail to the space. In particular, the ‘Agra’ panel was selected because of the interesting contrast it adds against the natural lighting and greenery.

Loft 610 Urban Restaurant & Lounge seeks to fill a dining and entertainment void for those who have left urban areas of major cities for the quality of life found in suburbs such as Plano, Frisco and McKinney. “Moving to the suburbs does not mean that you lose your need for an upscale, urban vibe, but consumers often must settle for a less fulfilling option that is closer to home – we want to change that.” “We wanted the space to feel like an old brick warehouse that was repurposed into a modern restaurant”, says the designer. They accomplished that goal by featuring walls of reclaimed brick and coconut palm plywood, exposed steel structures and polished concrete floors.

Exotic, sustainable materials have always been a passion with us here at Smith & Fong and have remained so for more than 25 years. After establishing ourselves in the bamboo world, we became interested in palm, another under-valued and little-understood material. We began our initial explorations in 2000 and shortly thereafter brought our first offerings to market: palm flooring and palm wall panel products. Since then we have deepened our understanding of sourcing, processing and fabricating with this beautiful and unique material. These wall panels feature a palm wood face carved to reveal a bamboo core, adding visual interest and a warm, rich texture to any interior environment - both commercial and residential.

Thanks to the #summerolympics we have #paris on our minds! Did you know that the Art Deco design movement got its start in Paris in 1925? The forward-thinking designers greatly influenced a wide range of creative disciplines including architecture, transportation and furniture design as well as giving birth to a period of exploration in new materials, both man-made and natural. Palm wood became one of those exciting new materials and was greatly embraced by one of the most influential furniture designers of the period, Eugene Printz, 1889-1948. Also featured are contemporary furniture builders who have continued to explore palm, following the evolution of the Art Deco Movement as well as modern design possibilities. In conclusion with almost 100 years of history in western furniture design, we hope the following images will offer an entry point to the wide range of possibilities working with this vibrant, sustainable and still rare tropical resource. https://lnkd.in/gsYmHp9i #olympics #summerolympics2024 #parisfrance #design #designmovements #interiordesign #furnituredesign #artdeco #artdecodesign #palmwood

The Ledger is an exciting new restaurant in Plymouth, Michigan, that offers aesthetic upscale dining at its best. The high-design concept focuses on responsibly sourced ingredients to create innovative cuisine and craft cocktails in their expansive yet welcoming space. Olon Interior Design Studio transformed the stately early 20th-century bank building into a beautiful modern space with depth and dimension, thanks to the complimentary textural elements. One such element is the Durapalm Rajasthan carved palmwood paneling that graces the front of the bar, bookends the plush booth seating, and accents the high-top bar tables. The paneling was no doubt selected for its striking appearance, with the deep, rich palm wood grain offering a warm counterpoint to the stone, metal, and tile work.

Looking for a sustainable alternative to hardwood flooring? Durapalm palm wood flooring is sourced from retired agricultural palm plantations that have exceeded their commercial viability and need replanting.
