Accoya is a high performance solid wood that is modified by a proprietary process called acetylization. This technique increases the amount of acetyl molecules, which are naturally present in all species of wood, throughout the material (not just at the surface). Acetylization delivers exceptional performance attributes, including Class 1 durability, reduced swelling and shrinkage, mold and insect resistance, UV-degradation resistance, and reduced thermal conductivity. Because of these factors, Accoya is appropriate for use in more rigorous conditions, such as heavy-traffic road bridges. The product is also sourced from sustainable forests, is 100 percent recyclable, and is nontoxic. [Contact:

The Wovin Wall System is a simple, modular panel system that utilizes depth for dramatic effect. It consists of tiles supported on a lightweight mounting grid which can be fixed to any wall or ceiling surface, light box or display. The Wovin tiles are available in many finishes including wood, laminate, polypropylene, and metal, and they are clipped into the supporting grid in alternating directions to create a distinctive, seamless, woven pattern.
Wovin tiles are offered in two standard sizes, and may be printed with tiled digital images to create a large, undulating image field. Translucent tiles may be backlit with standard fluorescent lights, and these tiles can be effective in ceiling retrofit applications beneath existing light fixtures. [via Wovin Wall.]

Alog is a modular shelving system made from MDF and ash which features a wall-mounted modular block and easily detachable shelves that require no fittings. The nature of the design allows for various combinations and compositions of shelves, allowing the user to create his/her own customized system. Developed by Johannes Herbertsson & Karl Henrik Rennstam, the design has strong roots in the language of graphic design and functions as both shelving and a visual wall display. Alog is 648 x 648 x 200 mm in size, and the shelving provides a playful solution to storage requirements with simplicity of use built in. [via Vujj; suggested by Clayton Whitman, Seattle.]
