A bleached, natural European Oak with sandy tones and increased colour variation, Picasso pairs an enhanced grain with a deeply brushed texture in a Chevron pattern.
Picasso is a sun-lit, sandy tone that radiates warmth and elegance. Its soft golden hues are layered with subtle undertones of beige and driftwood grey, creating a harmonious palette with a refined but relaxed coastal feel.
