Beveled solid-wood pyramids, laid by hand.
Light collects in every facet.
More than just wood
EmotionWood has crafted eco-friendly wood design panels in Estonia since 2014, where nature and design meet in balance. Every panel is made by hand by skilled artisans, guided by Nordic values of quality and responsibility.
Which is why these panels aren't only a surface to look at. They're solid-wood panels that earn their place on the wall: acoustically, environmentally and for years.
Made in Estonia. Defined by quality. EmotionWood · Tallinn
Natural wood improves acoustics, thermal comfort and indoor climate, so spaces feel calmer, not just look richer.
Solid timber right through, not a veneer over board, so it can be cut, sanded and lived with.
A distinctive EmotionWood pattern, handcrafted and made to your order in Estonia: originality you can specify with confidence.
Eco-friendly production, with technical and installation data sheets: the paperwork trade and architect specs ask for.
Why it lasts
The Sapphire Series is solid wood cut into beveled pyramids and hand-laid, so light collects in each facet for a finely crafted, luxurious wall.
Pattern · Beveled pyramids
Each panel is a grid of solid-wood pyramids, beveled by hand so every facet takes the light differently. The wall reads as finely cut detail.
Material · Solid natural wood
Solid timber, never veneer. Thermo-treated finishes are kilned until stable and darker through the body; natural species keep their raw colour.
Finishes · Three characters
From pale natural Oak and Ash to warm Thermoash, the same facets carry three very different moods.
Application · Indoor & sauna-safe
The Thermoash finish handles the heat and steam of a sauna; natural finishes suit dry interior walls and ceilings.
Install · Glue or brad nail
Fix straight to a clean, level wall with heat and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. Work row by row.
Origin · Made in Estonia
Designed and manufactured by EmotionWood in Tallinn, made to your order and finished to the same standard before it is flat-packed and shipped.
The finishes
One panel, one pattern; the character comes from the wood. Every finish is solid, hand-finished timber, cut and laid by hand in Estonia.
Pale, warm European oak. A soft natural blond with quiet grain.
Light, clean-grained ash. The palest of the naturals, with a fine straight figure.
Warm mid-brown thermo-treated ash, with the tone running right through the wood. The sauna-safe finish.
Installation
Two honest ways to fix the panels: bond straight to a flat wall with adhesive, or brad-nail to battens. No specialist trade required: a clean wall, a level, and a steady row-by-row rhythm.
Best on a flat, dry, load-tested wall. No battens needed; the wall itself is the substrate.
The fastest route for a sound, level wall. A heat- and moisture-resistant silicone holds the panels flush with no visible fixings.
Best when the wall is uneven; the battens create a true, ventilated plane to fix into.
The forgiving route for walls that aren't dead flat. Straight, level battens give a true plane; stainless brads hold the panels invisibly at the joints.
Whichever way you fix them, start top-left, then work down and across so each row locks into the last.

Common questions
A real human is one click away, but most of what we get asked is right here.
Talk to a specialistEach pack holds 5 panels and covers about 1.0 m². Panels are 482 × 503 mm with a coverage of 0.2 m² each. Order by the square metre, and allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and waste.
Two ways: glue straight to a clean, level wall with a heat and moisture-resistant silicone, or brad-nail to timber battens. We recommend a brad nailer with stainless brads, or a quality construction silicone.
Yes, in the Thermoash finish. Thermo-treated wood is made for heat and humidity and is used in sauna interiors. For wet areas, complete any wet works first and treat the wood with a breathable protector. Never pressure-wash the panels.
Yes: solid wood, 21 mm thick. Thermo finishes are colour-treated by heat (the tone runs through, no stain); natural finishes like Oak and Ash keep their raw colour. Expect natural variation between panels and batches.
Wood tone and grain vary naturally between panels and batches, and that variation is part of the character. Screens shift colour too, so for a critical match talk to a specialist about your project before ordering.
Yes. We price by the square metre, with trade and architect rates for larger projects. Matching trims and corner pieces are available per linear metre. Talk to a specialist for a project quote.
