Indus Atacama couples the creamy pebbles of the Atacama Desert’s colossal salt pans with the stone of its craggy mountains. The bleached tones of these prime grade planks enhance the natural woodgrain, bringing a raw and untouched look to your interior.
Available in prime grade and feature grade with beautifully wide 240mm planks and a length of 2.4m, Atacama offers effortless style to both residential and commercial interiors. Atacama is also available in herringbone pattern in a light feature grade.
Atacama’s smooth surface with light brushing is pre-finished with a UV cured extra-matte lacquer, ensuring durability and protection whilst maintaining a charming look and feel.
An ideal choice for stylish and healthy homes, the Indus Collection is sustainably sourced, low VOC, and does not contain any added formaldehyde. Atacama will complement a variety of interior styles from classic to contemporary.
