Soft, raw visuals from Parador’s Harmonia engineered hardwood collection draw inspiration from autumn forests and sunlit woodlands.
At a time when the end-user experience has been hijacked by an increasingly digitized landscape, a grounded reset and reconnection to the five senses and what it means to be human is essential. With the specification of engineered hardwood including Sensus, from Parador’s Harmonia collection, architects and designers are empowered to help rewire the expectations of building occupants in contract spaces everywhere.
With rich visuals that present as rustic and authentic, paired with lively character grading, Sensus is perfect for specification in a wide variety of commercial interior styles, from traditional to modern and beyond. Featuring soft, golden-brown oak acorn tones inspired by autumn forests and sunlit woodlands, these wide-format planks bring an inviting sense of comfort and grounding. Deeply brushed to echo the tactile richness of walnut shells, almond skins, and tree bark, Sensus combines raw material beauty with a near-textile-like softness to create a beautiful contract flooring system that is quiet and pleasantly warm underfoot.
“Sensus calls to mind the all-but-forgotten tactile nature and organic familiarity of warm wood visuals that instantly change the feel of a commercial space,” said Neel Bradham, Parador’s Chief Executive Officer. “While at the same time, this beauty is balanced with the ultimate performance across the entire Harmonia collection.”
Sensus radiates a natural warmth across elongated 86.6″ x 7.3″ planks, gently framed by subtly beveled edges. Its form and function make it particularly suited for boutique hospitality and retail, cultural venues, public spaces, and intimate settings within larger contract interiors, ultimately establishing calming room lines. Sensus offers dependable performance and ease of maintenance; an understated extra-matte lacquered finish for visual softness is complemented by a 3.6 mm wear layer for high dimensional stability. The strength and longevity of each plank are driven by a specially processed spruce and fir core, ensuring the floor can withstand the high-traffic demands of contract environments.
Rich texture is powered by Parador’s advanced SurfaceONE™ technology, adding visual depth and a refined, handcrafted feel. Sustainably crafted in Austria, Sensus promotes a healthy indoor space using low-emission production methods and responsibly sourced timber certified by globally recognized environmental bodies. By employing authentic wood visuals, Sensus supports a biophilic design philosophy that reconnects space occupants with the natural world.
Rooted in Parador’s legacy of European craftsmanship, the manufacturer’s bold growth in North America is underpinned by a stunning product line steeped in design heritage and well-positioned to shape the future of commercial interiors. As one of seven signature styles in the larger Harmonia engineered hardwood portfolio, Sensus successfully translates elements of the natural environment into a sensory experience for the built environment.
