1 Jagged Edges

Drawing inspiratio­n from mosaics and cobbleston­e streets, Oscarono’s Opus collection is a range of handmade wooden tiles in three subtle tones: natural (shown), smoke and black. The 70.4-by-73.1-centimetre pieces are designed to fit seamlessly together, suggesting a randomized pattern. oscarono.fr

2 Pattern Play

As part of Parador’s eight-part series One Ground, the Copenhagen line of engineered ash features a graphic pattern on its matte lacquer surface. The 18.5-centimetre-wide planks also boast an automatic click system for ease of install and can be paired with underfloor heating. parador.de, relativesp­ace.com

3 Blonde Ambition

Chaletino, Boen’s line of 29.8-by-274.3-centimetre engineered oak planks, has now been expanded with a subtle new surface finish: Live Pure. This ultra-matte lacquer creates a natural or untreated look while increasing the product’s resistance to not only liquids, but dust and dirt as well. boen.com

4 Horizontal Engineerin­g

Composed of three layers of cross-laminated solid oak, the Layers Oak series by Dinesen is a durable and uniform flooring solution. Defined by a width of 30 centimetre­s, the two designs (full-width lamellae, as shown, and finger-jointed lamellae) range in length from two to five metres. dinesen.com

5 New Additions

Mohawk’s Revwood Select, an update to its alreadypop­ular line, sees the manufactur­er treat each plank with its patented Wetprotect technology, a highperfor­mance waterproof finish. The scratch-resistant product comes in three tones: Fulford (shown), Briarwood and Rare Vintage. mohawkfloo­ring.com
