Inspired by castles
Time leaves its mark in the most beautiful ways. Inspired by centuries-old castle floors, Hakwood’s hand-hewn oak finish is a tribute to history, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Each plank is hand-hewn to create the authentic texture and depth of oak that has endured for generations, yet is crafted with modern precision for today’s interiors.
A Handcrafted Finish with Heritage
The hand-hewn finish is more than a surface treatment; it is an artisanal process. Each plank is worked by hand to reveal the irregularities, patina, and tactile richness of aged oak floors. The result is wood that looks as though it has been walked upon for centuries, yet is engineered for durability and performance in modern spaces.



Authenticity and innovation
This combination of authenticity and innovation makes the planks with this look particularly suited for bespoke interiors. From private residences to boutique hotels and hospitality projects, the finish brings depth, warmth, and understated luxury.
Four new colors
Now, we are proud to introduce four new shades to this distinctive finish: Chantilly, Cheverny, Vitre, and Saumur. Named after French castles, each color expands the creative possibilities of this hand-hewn finish - bringing heritage into harmony with contemporary design.

New shades, each with a story to tell
The introduction of these new colors adds even greater freedom for designers. Whether used in planks or parquet tiles, the new shades open a palette that balances history with modernity. Each tone captures a different facet of aged oak - subtle, natural, and full of character - allowing architects and designers to tailor their projects with precision.
Saumur
A warm golden oak with hand-hewn texture that brings quiet elegance to contemporary spaces.
Vitre
A soft, weathered brown with gentle gray undertones that evokes quiet sophistication.
Chantilly
A deep, earthy brown with rich tone and hand-hewn texture that adds lasting warmth and character.
Cheverny
A dark, refined brown that brings depth and timeless character.

Hand-hewn finish also available for our distinctive tiles
For the first time, the Versailles tile is also available in the hand-hewn finish. This iconic pattern, originally laid in the Château de Versailles, now gains a new dimension of authenticity. The combination of its historical form with the handcrafted texture of hand-hewn oak creates a surface that is both timeless and distinctive. A true statement piece, the Versailles tile brings heritage into dialogue with contemporary design, making it particularly suited for refined and bespoke interiors.
Alongside Versailles, our other parquet tile patterns are also available in this distinctive texture.
With this hand-hewn finish, history becomes a foundation for the future: surfaces that tell stories, inspire creativity, and bring rare authenticity to contemporary interiors.
