The character of Turkish olive wood
By Typhoon Wood Design · Updated October 5, 2026
Expressive grain, warm tones and irregular edges give our most-used material its individual character.

Rooted in Türkiye
We work mainly with olive wood from Türkiye, including wood from trees approximately 400–500 years old. This describes our sourcing experience; the species and estimated age of an individual piece should be confirmed separately.
A design shaped by the tree
A slice carries its own pattern of grain, color and natural contours. We use those differences to guide the design rather than promise a duplicate of a reference photograph.
What the photographs show
Our gallery shows real products in illustrative interiors. The product is the design reference; the room is a visualization. The wood selected for your order will have its own shape and details.
Your approval makes it personal
After payment, we share photos and measurements of the actual wood proposed for your piece. You review it before production begins. Ask about any visible features you want to understand before approving.
Ask about the finish
Finish and care needs depend on the product. Confirm the finish used and request care instructions for your particular piece. Lighting and furniture have different practical requirements.
Start with an idea. Make it your own.
Share your dimensions in inches, preferred wood and the details that matter to you.
