A captivating mid-yellow
Taking our inspiration from colourist John Fowler’s ‘straw left out in the rain’, we created Straw as a brighter alternative that still pays homage to the original. More so than the duskier, more delicate Hay, Straw is well-suited to spaces that receive little natural light, adding warmth and depth for an inherently sunny feel.

Water Based and Toy Safe
Back in 2010, we moved to an entirely water based range of finishes, becoming the first in the industry to do so. These low-odour, low-VOC finishes are easy to clean without harmful solvents. They are also certified child- and baby-safe in accordance with Safety of Toys Part 3: Migration of certain elements (EN 71-3:2019+A1:2021).
