Densified ash is a remarkable and durable material used for handles in Forge de Laguiole products. Sourced from the ash tree, typically found in temperate regions of Europe, North America, and parts of Asia, densified ash is specially treated to enhance its strength and resilience. The process of densification compresses the wood, making it denser, harder, and more durable than regular ash, giving it exceptional longevity.
The wood has a light-brown colour with subtle variations and a straight, uniform grain that adds a sophisticated and contemporary touch to any piece. One of its key attributes is its water resistance. Densified ash is often used in high-end furniture and flooring due to its ability to withstand wear and tear while retaining its beautiful appearance.
The Andrée Putman Butter Knife from the Signature range is a refined blend of elegance and functionality, designed for everyday use—from morning toast to evening meals.
Featuring a rounded handle and a minimalist bee emblem, this knife complements any table setting with its timeless aesthetic. Available in ebony or densified ash wood, it boasts a sleek satin finish, making it a perfect addition to any refined dining experience.
