At Junto, you can go beyond custom dimensions and shapes—you can also mix different timbers within the same piece.
Combining wood types, grains, and textures can give even the simplest design more depth and presence. With the right finishes, each timber can stand out in its own way while still working as part of a whole.
The key is balance. Keeping undertones consistent helps bring everything together, even when you’re mixing lighter and darker woods. Done right, it adds warmth, flexibility, and a sense of movement to a space—without feeling busy.
It also makes each piece more personal. A considered mix of timbers creates something that feels specific to you, rather than fixed to a single look or trend.
We work exclusively with solid wood and certified noble species, selected for durability, performance, and visual character.
Oak is a long-time favourite. Light in tone, with a strong grain and excellent durability, it’s a natural choice for dining tables and everyday pieces. American Walnut brings deeper, darker tones with bold grain patterns. It adds contrast and a more defined presence. Kambala (Iroko) sits in the middle, with golden to medium-brown tones that deepen over time. It’s versatile and easy to place across different interiors and exteriors. Chestnut is local, warm, and understated. Its softer tone and subtle grain work well in pieces that aim for a quieter look. Portuguese Walnut offers more variation, from lighter browns to stronger veining. No two pieces are quite the same, which adds a more individual character.
Different woods, used thoughtfully, open up more possibilities—without overcomplicating the design.
