imondi’s Oriental Reclaimed Series originates from construction materials used in early houses, farm buildings, and factories from China, North American, and the Baltics. During the 17th and 18th centuries, Western Europe’s major timber source was the southern shore of the Baltic. Both the Dutch and English depended on Baltic timber for shipbuilding. Wars and diplomacy with Sweden and Denmark revolved around the need to guarantee timber supplies. Towards the turn of the 18th century, the American colonies had already become an essential resource, and by the early 19th century, industrialization created an even larger demand for wood. Pine logs were felled, squared on site, and assembled into enormous rafts and then floated down to major sea ports. Finally, as the 20th century approached, China joined the Baltic region and North America as the third global hub for softwood production and trading.

Questions buyers ask
Is reclaimed pine durable enough for a floor?
Old-growth pine and fir are far denser than today’s plantation softwood, and the engineered construction keeps the boards flat. We specify it for homes, cafes, retail and hotel guest rooms; for high-traffic lobbies we recommend oak or elm.
What are the “Paint” and “Carolina” finishes?
Boards that keep traces of their original painted surface, cleaned and sealed, so each plank carries its own history. No two are alike.
Where does the timber come from?
Houses, farm buildings and factories across China built in the early 20th century, many from Baltic and North American softwood imported at the time.
Can I see it before I order?
Yes. Visit one of our showrooms, or email info@imondi.com for samples.
