Finishes - Origins Collection by Phillips Collection

Natural

The natural beauty of the wood, enhanced by an understated and durable catalyzed, satin clear coat. Each piece is deluxed before it leaves the facility through fine sanding, sealing, spraying and curing. Our natural finish is a celebration of the grain of the wood in its original form.

Gray Stone

Weather-worn woods left out in the sun and rain for months at a time take on a wonderfully-aged patina. By cerusing the wood and applying a multi-step finish, we achieve a stone-like effect which preserves the rough texture and rich color of the wood.

Black Wash

Dark but elegant, Black Wash is one of Phillips Collection’s more unique finishes. We apply enough to give each piece an eye-catching black tint while leaving the natural wood grain visible and intact. Black Wash is primarily found on our handcrafted pieces from Indonesia, where the native Teak wood accepts the finish beautifully.

Bleached

Weather worn woods left out in the sun and rain for months at a time take on a wonderfully-aged patina. By cerusing the wood and applying a multi-step finish, we achieve a stone-like effect which preserves the rough texture and rich color of the wood.

Black Bleached

Our best-selling bleached finish is our longest and most involved process. It is achieved by using special solvents that cause the heavy oils deep within the wood to come to the surface and be wiped away. The piece must then be washed, solvents reapplied and then be exposed to the sun for weeks. This entire process is repeated as many as four times as needed.

Burnt Edge

When a tree is struck by lightning, the bark is charred to a matte black. Inspired by this sharp contrast of the blackened outer edge to the natural core of these roots, we recreated the effect with a blowtorch.
