Carbonized wood for façades and interiors with a unique structure.

Yakisugi/Shou Sugi Ban by Ennobled

Traditionally carbonised and refined woods. A truly natural product.

At Ennobled, local wood meets the tried-and-tested Yakisugi tradition from Japan: we carbonise Kebony®, Accoya®, spruce or larch with our traditional, vertical deep charring.

Elegant appearance and improved resistance thanks to deep charring

This sustainable method gives our wood, which is charred black or finished in shades of brown and grey, high weather resistance, improved fire resistance, beautiful texture and modern elegance – ideal for long-lasting façades or exclusive interiors.

Carbonised woods

Charred black, three-dimensional look, strong character structure

Using our traditional, vertical deep-charring process, our woods are carbonised with pure flame according to the Japanese Yakisugi method, resulting in extremely resistant, durable wood products with a unique, black charred surface structure which, thanks to its exclusive character, is also compared to alligator skin, silk wood or leather.

Refined woods

Traditionally carbonised, brushed and carefully finished by hand.

If you opt for the refined style, the already carbonised wood is then carefully brushed by hand and refined using a special process so that the grain and structure are revealed under the layer of carbon. Depending on the processing and type of wood, our wood finishing creates an exclusive colour look: from elegant silver-grey to an ingenious reclaimed wood look in rustic brown tones.

“Around the World”

From Salzburg into the world

As pioneers, we have introduced sustainable, traditional and vertical deep charring according to the Japanese Yakisugi method to the Austrian market.

Having started in Salzburg, we now supply our carbonised wood throughout Europe. Our projects range from the DACH region to Holland, Italy and Croatia, and occasionally even to America and South Africa!

We, Ennobled GmbH, have always remained true to our high quality standards. We are passionate about values such as sustainability, diversity, research and innovation. As the centrepiece of our comprehensive service, we offer you personal and expert customer support!

Satisfied customers and partners

Technical expertise, top quality and personalised, individual all-round support.

This is why our customers trust Ennobled

Wood is simply brilliant! For us, too, everything revolves around the product from our forests every day. The guys from Ennobled literally hit the mark with the Charred Wood ! Unique, sustainable, modern – simply an eye-catcher!

The projects of Pötzelsberger Immobilien GmbH are characterised by a very environmentally friendly construction method. We create affordable housing without sacrificing creativity, innovation and efficiency.

The products of Ennobled OG reflect precisely these values.

I am constantly on the lookout for unusual, exclusive and creative solutions for my customers. Sustainability is always a priority for me personally.
With the tried and tested wood finishing techniques of Ennobled OG, it is possible to set new standards here.

The order to use charred wood made me sceptical during the planning phase, but also curious. When cutting and installing the first boards, I was – contrary to expectations – immediately impressed by the good quality.
You can and want to work with it.

The sample sent to us totally convinced us visually and haptically. Thanks to the special coating, you can brush over it by hand without the charcoal rubbing off. The sunlight is reflected in the facade. As the client and architect, I was able to use the carbonised Kebony on the roof. I felt uneasy during the first hailstorm. I was afraid that it might flake off. In the meantime, our house has survived several storms and it still looks like it did on the first day!

Shou Sugi Ban/Yakisugi by Ennobled.

A tradition reborn.

Yakisugi verbrannte Holzbretter

Natural way of preserving wood

For centuries, people in Japan have relied on a tried and tested method of preserving wood: shou sugi ban, also known as yakisugi. In this process, the surface of the wood is carbonised by controlled burning with fire, making it durable in a natural way.

This gives the wood natural protection against moisture, wind and weather, while at the same time making it more resistant, durable and fire-resistant – all without using fossil fuels such as gas and chemicals! The special side effect: Yakisugi creates a unique, sophisticated look with exceptional structure, colour and texture.

Our Deep Charring:
A new interpretation of the old Yakisugi tradition

We have rediscovered the Japanese tradition of Yakisugi/Shou Sugi Ban: we carefully carbonise spruce, larch, Accoya® , Kebony® & Co by hand in the traditional way with pure flame – without industrial influences! With our energy-saving, vertical deep-charring process, we burn particularly deeply – without fossil fuels and without chemicals. In contrast to industrial firing with gas, this method is considered to be much more sustainable and climate-friendly.

The result is our Deep Charred Wood: an extremely resistant, durable wood with an exclusive, deep black colour and a unique, three-dimensional texture and structure.

Our quality promise

We provide you with the most beautiful, sustainable, durable and environmentally friendly facades!

Careful handwork

in our wood manufactory

Our woodworking is carefully crafted by hand in our manufactory. There, the wood is precisely planed, carbonised, brushed and finished.

This makes each individual Deep Charred Wood a very special one-off – and customised and special designs are also possible!

Sustainability by Ennobled

Deep charred wood as the building material of the future

Ecologically correct and sustainable, but modern and stylish at the same time? We think so: Both are possible! Facades or interiors made of carbonised wood are not only a beautiful eye-catcher, but also a particularly environmentally friendly, durable natural product with high quality. This is also proven by our sustainability criteria.

The 6 criteria for sustainability from Ennobled

  • Traditional deep charring

    We use accurate handcrafting to create particularly deep fires – without fossil fuels or chemicals!

  • International environmental certificates

    We favour local, PEFC and FSC-certified wood from ecologically, socially and economically sustainable forestry.

  • Reuse & recycling

    As purely natural products, our wood can be returned to the natural cycle at the end of its life.

  • Our tree planting campaign

    In cooperation with the Austrian Federal Forests, we are planting trees to make our local forests fit for the future challenges caused by climate change.

  • Research and development

    Together with universities of applied sciences and universities, we are continuously researching the sustainable development of our processes.
