Exclusive Furniture by Barn in the City `A second life for Barn wood`

Exclusive Furniture by Barn in the City
‘A second life for Barn wood’
Canadian Barn built in 1854
Barn in the City – a rare creation from the fusion of vintage with the
contemporary …
The historical 19th century dairy barns that stretched across the plains of
Canada, 100 – 150 years ago, are being restored & preserved as a vital piece
of Canadian History. Sections of these barns cannot always be incorporated
into this restoration process, such as the barn sidings, and are carefully
reclaimed & prepared by Barn in the City in Amsterdam and reformed into
contemporary furniture designs and wall cladding. The results are both
strikingly unique in form and functionally beyond compare. An important piece
of history not only being preserved forever but also finding a second and new
usage, being brought back to life.
The forces of Nature- the freezing Canadian winters & scorching summer sun
– have created a silver-grey to dark grey taupe patina, a color and luster
impossible to re-create. And combined with the natural open & closed knots,
and the character created by the forces of man – centuries old nails and nail
holes, cracks along the grain – the result is that no two pieces of Barn wood
and so no two custom made pieces of Barn in the City furniture & wall
cladding, are the same – each are unique to you.

enterprise. Barn in the City prides itself in having built up an extensive and
exclusive network with local Canadian farmers and families for many years,
ensuring Barn in the City receives only the best selections and finest quality of
the original barn wood.
A 100 years of History in custom made furniture

Rijn have established their names in the international interior business. Nancy

consoles, room dividers, planters, mirrors, cabinets, doors and wall paneling!
The Barn wood is combined with other materials such as Stainless steal,
Nickel and Bronze for the tables and MDF silk gloss for the cabinets and
consoles. Classical or contemporary this furniture will seamlessly adjust, as
the Barn wood did in time in all weather conditions. There for retaining its
recognizable character with a Barn in the City touch.
The founder of Barn in the City, Nancy Torreele: ‘We have fortunately realized
some amazing projects world wide, in which we have applied Barn wood.
Varying from custom made cabinets to the external decking of whole houses.
So the next step was inevitable: our own furniture collection. Barn wood
processed into furniture, on walls or even doors can lift an interior to a whole
new level. This wood can be combined with any other material, thus creating
a balanced contrast. Like nature it adjust to it surroundings.

BARN IN THE CITY
Exclusive, custom made contemporary furniture & wall cladding crafted
from 19th Century reclaimed Canadian Barn wood. These rare listed barns
are being restored & preserved in Canada. In the restoration process some
sections become available, and these are shipped to Holland, restored and
used in the design of stunningly original & rare contemporary furniture and
wall cladding.
The Dutch design company, ‘Barn In The City’, captures the pure character
& natural colors of the barn wood, and its subtle ‘blue-grey-brown’ lustre
formed by the bleaching effects of Canada’s scorching summer sun & harsh
freezing winters.
In a unique & skilled process, craftsmen gradually encase & seal the wood
in many fine layers of clear regenerative resin. This resin is skillfully
applied over many weeks. The barn wood can also remain in its natural
textured form, without the resin, and is coated with a fine invisible liquidrepellent sealant.
At this link http://db.tt/CxnIuusV you can download the video of the Iced
Grey Barn wood Nicolas Table – which really brings to life the beauty of the
table and the glass-like resin, as the camera moves and catches the
reflections of the lighting. GREAT FOR YOUR CLIENT PRESENTATIONS.
Before the resin is applied different finishes can also be bonded to the
barn wood – such as ‘black silver’, copper, bronze, silver-platinum , gold
etc.
The raw material is rare – and the fact that it is being recycled and is
preserving this piece of Canadian history makes it unique. It is anticipated
that there is only a supply of the barn wood for the next 10 years.
Each piece in the collection is handmade to standard dimensions, OR
custom dimensions and designs can be commissioned, such as side
tables, dining tables, wall cladding for spas and shower rooms, wall cladding
around fireplaces & home cinema systems etc.
Product Performance & Price-Point: makes it suitable for ‘high
end’ residential, commercial and private yachts.

Pure Taste, No Waste
Barn in the City does not only distinguish itself with originality and
craftsmanship but also in customization of the furniture. Thus creating the
opportunity for her clients to integrate the object into his or her own existing
interior or new design. Furthermore the applied MDF can coated in any RAL
color. E.g. is the table requested in a longer size or a console in a higher
version or a larger planter every wish can be met.
Nancy Torreele: ‘Barn in the City follows its request of the client. Since we live
in a world with declining raw materials, where terms as ‘Cradle to Cradle (reuse of materials to their full extent) and durable development are making their
ascent for the last years. Barn in the City favors our planets environment with
her designs and creations by not wasting pure taste. We can ecologically
justify giving Barn wood a second life or home.’
Would kindly invite you to contact us if you like more information on Barn in
the City and its designs and possibilities.
