Zebrano

Zebrano Hardwood Planks

Zebrano (Microberlinia brazzavillensis), also known as Zebrawood, is one of the most visually dramatic hardwoods in the world. Native to West Africa, it features a pale golden-yellow background with bold, irregular dark brown to black stripes — unmistakably reminiscent of a zebra's coat. This hard, eye-catching timber is a favourite for luxury furniture, veneers, and statement decorative pieces.
