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.
Where it lives
Why it lasts
The Square 120 is a large 510 mm tile finished in Yakisugi — the Japanese art of charring wood — cut into bold stepped cubes. The result is a deep, cracked charcoal-black surface with dramatic texture and presence, a commanding feature at architectural scale.
Pattern · 3D cube tiles
Each large 510 mm tile is cut into bold stepped cubes and finished in Yakisugi char, so deep shadow pools between blocks and the cracked black surface reads with real drama at scale.
Finish · Japanese Yakisugi
Yakisugi is the Japanese art of charring wood. The surface is scorched to a deep charcoal-black with a cracked, alligatored texture — a finish with centuries of tradition and undeniable presence.
Spaces · Interiors & hospitality
A commanding dark feature for interior walls and ceilings, and a favourite of restaurants and bars where a deep, textural black sets the mood — as in this dining room.
Install · Bonded to the wall
A large, solid tile is best bonded to a clean, dry, level wall with a strong construction adhesive, with concealed mechanical fixing where needed.
Origin · Made in Estonia
Designed, charred and finished by EmotionWood in Tallinn, cut to your order 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.
Japanese Yakisugi — the wood surface charred to a deep, cracked charcoal-black with dramatic texture and presence.
Installation
These panels bond straight to a flat wall with adhesive. 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.
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 specialistTiles are 510 × 510 mm with a coverage of 0.26 m² each. Order by the pack, and allow 5 to 10% extra for cuts and waste. Talk to a specialist to confirm pack quantity and lead time for this large-format tile.
Yakisugi (also called shou sugi ban) is the traditional Japanese technique of charring the wood surface. It gives a deep charcoal-black colour and a cracked, textured face, and the char is part of the finish rather than a stain applied on top.
The surface is a natural charred face and can release a little soot if rubbed hard, so it is best admired rather than handled. Dust gently; do not scrub. For high-touch areas, ask a specialist about a sealed option.
It is a large, solid tile, so bond it to a clean, dry, level wall with a strong construction adhesive, with concealed mechanical fixing where needed. Let the tiles acclimatise in the room first.
