The Presence System

Board & Grain

The Presence System

Three profiles. One philosophy. Thickness is more than a specification — it influences visual weight, handling, proportion, and the way a piece inhabits a space.

Which Profile Is Right For You?

Each profile carries the same design language, but serves a different relationship to the room. Choose by how much presence you want the piece to hold.

Slimline

1.25" ●○○

For those who value restraint, lighter handling, and a more understated visual presence.

Heritage

1.5" ●●○

Heirloom

Still Unsure?

Most customers begin with Heritage. Designed around balance, its 1.5" profile offers a level of presence that feels substantial without becoming dominant. It remains our most versatile profile and the one that best represents the Board & Grain philosophy.
