His design philosophy? “Everything matters,
tell a story, make connections, act responsibly, never stop
learning, and believe in the power of beauty to inspire and
make a positive impact on our world.”

Amcol project for Gensler Chicago, in this edition of the
TerraMai Q&A.
James Perse - Bleecker Street
The understated warmth and elegance of TerraMai’s
oak flooring is a perfect fit for the signature style of James
Perse – low-key luxury.
TerraMai’s Oak Paneling – wrapped around crisp
forms – enriches the high-tech environment of Blue Sky Studios’
new offices, production facilities and screening room.
Some materials have strong personalities, like
TerraMai’s World Mix. Rather than try to bend it to their
will, industrial designer Glorimar Santiago – along with master
craftsman James Kowinski and furniture design student Greg
Johnson – ‘listened’ to this extraordinary material as they
fashioned it into a singular piece.
Cedar siding is an American
classic. TerraMai makes this formerly rare reclaimed material
available for large-scale commercial and residential projects,
thanks to a domestic and international sourcing network unmatched
in the industry.
TerraMai’s Union Redwood Siding & Paneling
offers two distinct looks – Heavy Character and Light Character.
The Light Character material offers a clean look and the Heavy
Character material a more unique, dynamic look.
Both come from old-growth, all-heart redwood
reclaimed from one of the historic lumber mills operated by
the Union Lumber Company in Fort Bragg, CA. These mills supplied
the lumber that rebuilt San Francisco following the 1906 earthquake.
TerraMai travels the globe in search of the most remarkable, irreplaceable reclaimed woods, continually adding new and unique products to our lineup. The TerraMai newsletter connects you to our latest offerings, innovations and happenings.
