READ ARTICLEAs part of our 2025 plans, Atkinson & Kirby unveiled a new stand at Material Source Glasgow, bringing our premium timber flooring collections directly to the Scottish design community. To mark the occasion, we hosted “Oak and Vine”, an evening celebrating timber, texture and tone, designed to introduce our collections in a unique way. A Legacy of CraftsmanshipFounded in 1903, Atkinson & Kirby has built a reputation for creating timber floors that balance heritage, design and longevity. Our approach is rooted in sustainability and quality, with a belief that thoughtfully chosen materials form the foundation of interiors that are both unique and long-lasting. Exploring Timber Through Wine We wanted to host a launch with a twist. Led by a local sommelier, the evening featured a guided tasting that explored how materials and flavours can complement one another. Far from a traditional launch, the event embodied the values at the heart of our brand: craftsmanship and distinctive design. Guests were invited to experience our floors beyond surface appearance, engaging with colour, depth and character in a tactile, immersive way. Wine and Timber Pairings Assyrtiko white + Noma Smoked OakA crisp white, grown near the coast, paired with our Noma Smoked Oak whose pale hues are well suited to light, coastal and Scandinavian-inspired interiors, similarly featured in17 The Promenade and No.26 By The Sea, where its cool-toned variations complement minimalist spaces. Rioja orange wine + Honeystreet OakA warm orange wine paired with our Honeystreet Oak whose honeyed tones and natural texture echo the wine’s layered richness, lending themselves to earthy, tactile interiors. Portuguese red + Breathe Harparanda OakDeep, structured red paired with our Harparanda Oak flooring that mirrors the wine’s complexity and depth, creating a rich and grounded palette.
