As well as from the design and fashion world, our team takes into consideration cultural and societal influ- ences and the emotional associations that different colours evoke," says Grech. This year, Sansin welcomes a harmonious blend of natural-translucent colour palettes and the commanding allure of bold contrasts, with Onyx as the chosen hue for 2024. This striking and potent dark tone is available in various transparencies and holds court across Sansin's exterior products like SDF, Dec, and ENS. Sjoerd Bos, managing director of Sansin, explains that the command- ing presence of Onyx adorns residential and mass timber projects alike, adding depth and allure. As for rising finishes and textures, the art of wood profiling takes prece- dence, tailored to individual preferences and regional influences. This is why Sansin has developed the IRIS program, aiding architects, building owners, and engineers in aligning desired aesthetics with optimal performance. Sansin's collaborations with architects and designers continue to redefine innovation. The KF Centre for Excellence, designed by Meiklejohn Architects, stands as a testament, securing the prestigious Wood Design & Building Sansin Award. "Sansin partner StructureCraft provided the structural engineering and mass timber for the building. To showcase the beauty of the wood and provide superior protection, the mass timber is finished with a comprehensive system of Sansin's environmentally-friendly protective coatings, including SDF clear on the exterior glulam, KP12W clear on the exterior DLT [dowel laminated timber] soffit, KP12 clear on the interior glulam, and low-luster Purity Glacier on the interior handrails," explains Bos.
