Le Marais – Herringbone Parquet
The Le Marais Herringbone Parquet is an exclusive European oak floor inspired by the 19th-century herringbone patterns of Parisian apartments. With elegant proportions of 54 cm x 9 cm and a thickness of 2 cm, this floor combines historical authenticity with the precision and reliability required for contemporary high-end projects.
Each block is manually and subtly aged, then pre-coloured and protected twice in our workshop. The result is a refined, characterful oak herringbone floor that arrives ready to install, making it ideal for international projects where time on site is limited.

Craftsmanship & Le Marais Collection
The Le Marais Collection is our curated line of high-end oak floors, developed for architects, interior designers and private clients who want the floor to play a central role in the interior concept.
As a family-owned company with more than 25 years of experience in oak flooring and reclaimed materials, we focus on authenticity and detail. The Le Marais herringbone blocks are shaped, aged and finished by hand in our workshop in the Netherlands, taking cues from historic parquet floors in Paris, Brussels and other European cities.
Appearance, Colour & Finish
The Le Marais Herringbone Parquet is designed to feel calm and quietly luxurious rather than overly rustic. Each plank is:
- Manually and subtly aged to soften edges and create a natural, timeworn character.
- Pre-coloured in a carefully balanced tone that pairs well with both classic and contemporary interiors.
- Protected twice with a high-quality finish for everyday use in residential and hospitality spaces.
Because the floor is prefinished and fully prepared in our workshop, it is delivered ready to install. In most projects, only final cleaning and detailing after installation are required, which simplifies scheduling and reduces disruption on site.
