Margaret Elm − A Timeless Elm Design Bridging Classic and Contemporary
2025/07/23

Margaret Elm is a refined elm woodgrain design that blends narrow half-board grains with straight, flowing lines, smooth layout. The result is a subtle yet structured rhythm, giving the surface a natural elegance that fits effortlessly into both modern interiors and classic-inspired spaces.

A Design Rooted in British Craft, Reimagined for Modern Interiors
Inspired by the timeless quality of British furniture brands, this design was developed with a clear concept:
to reinterpret the luster and delicate grain of traditional elm through a cleaner, contemporary layout.
Unlike rustic elm patterns with heavy contrast, Margaret Elm embraces:
• Balance and flow over strong grain interruptions
• A subtle shimmer that reflects natural light with sophistication
• A layout crafted to feel intentional, soft, and timeless
The name “Margaret” is a nod to British minimalist fashion—especially the refined yet relaxed aesthetics of a brand that everyone knows. Just like its collections, this surface expresses simplicity with depth.
