Zebrawood: exotic & bold

Zebrawood is a unique and incredibly beautiful type of wood that has gained enormous popularity in recent years. Dark brown veins on a light core, hence the very appropriate name: Zebrawood. It comes from the tropical rainforests in West Africa. At Holzkern, we only use FSC-certified wood to create our unique accessories.
