Hailing from the Far East, paulownia wood is prized for its lightweight nature and diverse tonal variations. It is also extremely durable for its weight, being highly resistant to warping. This makes it perfect for crafting irregular mirror frames that will stand the test of time, while also possessing a stunningly subtle grain.
Versatile
This versatile material's warm palette makes it compliment muted tones perfectly, providing a touch of contrast and comfort to spaces that possess a high density of greys and whites.
Paulownia wood is equally at home in more rustic/traditional aesthetics, with its ability to seamlessly blend with tones similar to that of itself in order to create a coherent and cozy space.
Durable
Paulownia wood is uniquely strong for its weight, allowing for our mirrors to last a near limitless amount of time in your home.
In fact, we are so confident in the quality of our Paulownia wood, as with all of our products, we offer a 10 year warranty so that in the extremely rare scenario in which your mirror does sustain damage over time, William Wood has you covered.
Sustainable
To top it all off, Paulownia wood is one of the most sustainable wood types on the planet, posessing the ability to regrow directly from the stump.
This, combined with its high growth rate of up to 15 feet per season allows for it to recover from being harvested extremely quickly, supporting a highly diverse ecosystem of plants and animals during its regrowth.
