Driftwood N8
Reads quietly mid-tone in daylight and gathers depth as the light drops. Driftwood N8 sits in our Microcement range with carrying a gentle yellow-honey lift, undertones of weathered-wood, and a character that's sun-bleached and tactile. We see Driftwood N8 specified most often for family bathrooms and wet-rooms and walk-in showers. Pairs naturally with travertine, brushed brass and aged leather. It reads coastal modern in spirit without locking the room into a single period.
