Wood is a complex, diverse material, with soft and hard options, with a variety of colors and grains. Subtle changes in color and directionality can create complex textures, opportunities for signage, and ever-changing screen partitions.

Slatted wood is repetitive thin wood widths, arranged in a consecutive pattern, either in a vertical/horizontal flat plane, or in geometric shapes. Slats allow partition walls and doors to be semi-transparent, letting in light and eye sight when positioned in a parallel form, but enables changing shadows and views with horizontal and vertical movement.

Wood slats are being used in all forms and on all planes of interior design: ceilings, floors, walls, millwork, and even furniture has all incorporated slatted wood for the better. Below, we see many forms of slatted wood in dynamic spaces:

millwork and entry details are an intriguing addition, pulling consumers into the space, and continuing eye movement
an architectural screen or window wall, allowing filtered light into the interior spaces that change depending on sun height and location
subtle signage that peek through the slats in differentiating wood color and texture
overlapping patterns of wood strips create an extra layer of pattern and geometry
wood slats on the ceiling to hide ugly HVAC systems and air vents, but still allowing maximum air flow
CNC-ed wood strips to create a continuous bench and wall
