About Wood

Innenraum mit Holztisch, Stühlen, Pflanzen und Holzdekorationen, große Fenster mit Blick nach draußen, schlichte moderne Einrichtung.

Wood is a living material that works, breathes and develops its own patina over the years. Every plank, every board tells the story of the tree through its grain – unique and unmistakable. It creates warmth and comfort in rooms, regulates humidity, improves acoustics and feels pleasant underfoot. From rustic to modern, wood opens up diverse design possibilities through different species, surfaces and laying patterns.

When chosen sustainably, wood ages gracefully, can be refinished and gains character over decades – a material that not only shapes spaces, but brings them to life.

Whatever you are building — we help you take the first step with confidence.

  • Because species determines almost everything: hardness, colour, grain character, how the wood reacts to moisture, and how it ages. Oak is durable and widely adaptable. Walnut is warmer and more refined. Ash is light and contemporary. Exotic species bring extraordinary visual drama but require careful sourcing. Hochwert Library helps you choose based on your actual use case, not just aesthetics.

  • Yes, with the right species and the right surface treatment. In bathrooms, humidity and temperature swings are the challenge — but properly sealed hardwoods can perform well if ventilation and installation are handled correctly. In kitchens, wood has been a trusted flooring and worktop material for centuries. Hochwert Library advises you on which wood works where, so you get the look you want without the headaches.

  • Oak is the most popular choice for good reason — it's hard, stable and takes wear well. Ash and hard maple are also strong performers. Softer species like pine look beautiful but dent more easily. If you have dogs, kids or heavy foot traffic, Hochwert Library will steer you toward the most durable option for your situation.

  • Yes. Hochwert Library provides samples so you can see the material in your actual space under your own lighting before committing. This is strongly recommended — wood looks very different in a showroom versus at home. Book an appointment at Rotbuchstrasse 83 in Zurich or contact Hochwert Library to request samples for your project.

  • At the Hochwert Library showroom, Rotbuchstrasse 83, 8037 Zurich. Samples are available in various species, colours, ages and finishes. Visits are by appointment only — the first consultation is always free of charge.
