Bored by the usual sermon, Gustav began to sink to his knees. No trace of reverence, the stone floor was worth the sin. So distant from the sermon, so close to the stone floor.
The visual allure attracted Gustav, but the impersonal coldness and lack of delicate texture of the stone floor pushed him away. The stone floor wasn’t worth the sin, it wasn’t desired by Gustav.
In the theater hall, he spent even the premiere of a new production crawling on the floor. Disgusted by the unhygienic and dusty carpet, Gustav crawled between the legs of the audience, like a soldier in search of naturalness.
The struggle is futile, the mites already in sight, that’s why he wants to get away from here as quickly as possible.
Even while swimming, he couldn’t get the thought of the perfect surface out of his mind. To avoid getting lost in the daily routine, Gustav had to dive. Amidst lost clumps of hair and peeled band-aids, he glided weightlessly through the thermal water. With a dull gaze and waterlogged fingers, he caressed the expressionless, slippery, and impersonal tile surface.
His eyes burn… Is it the chlorine? No, it’s the surface that made him lose interest in the tile!
The initial astonishment quickly gave way to enthusiasm, compelling him to join the other customers. Just a few seconds later, he too was captivated by the spirit emanating from the perfect surfaces, and he blissfully ran his hands over them.
After 45 years of searching for meaning, accompanied by Kant, Plato, and Aristotle: FINALLY! The realization!
Gustav exclaimed, “I stand on RUDDA!”
Gustav found it fascinating how unique pieces emerge from a single piece of wood. There’s no comparison to commercially available, lightly processed parquet surfaces. Each piece is endowed with an incomparable texture. With a deep understanding of the material and traditional craftsmanship techniques such as crafted bevels, delicate planing strokes, and subtle saw cuts, extraordinary parquet floors are created at RUDDA using young oak and reclaimed aged wood.
