Inspired by the structural integrity of a natural beehive, Maya Romanoff's Ajiro Honeycomb™ elicits a feeling of balance and well-being. Multi-hued hexagonal shapes comprised of paulownia wood are hand-painted and inlaid in an organic, free-flowing pattern. A metallic accent perfectly enhances the sustainable and flexible surfacing material, making it the perfect luxury wallcovering.

This dynamic wallcovering transforms rapidly renewable paulownia wood into an interior masterpiece. Paulownia wood exhibits notable strength and durability, with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any wood in the world, making it suitable as a surfacing material.

Artisan craftsmanship is at the heart of Honeycomb. Its seamless installation process, with a beautiful side match, ensures a visually stunning installation. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, Honeycomb boasts a beautiful all-over pattern, and its durable construction makes it suitable for various indoor environments without compromising style.

Ajiro Honeycomb is a sustainably harvested wood veneer colored with water-based stains. Utilizing water-based colorants and adhesives promotes healthier indoor air quality, free from heavy metals and formaldehyde. Maya Romanoff uses micro-thin slices of wood, which allows them to use the least amount of material while still achieving the desired effect.

Since its inception in the 1990s, Ajiro® wood veneer has been one of Maya Romanoff's most popular collections. The Ajiro Honeycomb product line triumphantly builds on our experience producing artisanal handcraft and extraordinary design.
