What’s more beautiful than exotic timber? Exotic timber enhanced with dramatic shafts of light and colour. Operating out of their Adelaide factory, which has been running for more than 20 years, Ambro developed the translucent Luminate concept in 2000.

The exotic timbers that they use are only from managed forests – this means that only 10% of the forest is felled, then left alone for 10 years before the process repeats itself. This thinning of the forest also has its own benefits; allowing more sunlight through the forest canopy and reducing the threat of bush fires.

Ambro’s special translucent material is added to the timber to create strips of light and colour. Opaque strips mean natural light is let through a timber surface – for example in a front door or panel – or they can be lit artificially to dramatic effect: for example in a feature wall piece or table.

Ambro’s unique technology of seamlessly combining translucent strips with either beautiful timbers or vibrant colours has been released in a definitive collection of doors and tables that are far beyond the ordinary.
