Master Oak: sustainable elegance in Mohawk's Chicago showroom
Why choose between the allure of tradition and the practicality of modern design when you can have both? In Mohawk’s 10,000 sq. ft. Chicago showroom, located in the heart of Fulton Market — the future of the design community — Master Oak proves there’s no need to compromise.
Crafted into sleek cabinetry, it pairs the natural beauty of rift white oak veneer with a surface that’s three times more scratch-resistant, durable, and easy to maintain.
Sure, rift white oak has its charm, but it comes at a price. Up to 20% of raw material is wasted to remove imperfections and knots, driving up costs considerably. And let’s not forget: the delicate surface doesn’t exactly stand up to daily wear and tear.
That’s precisely why Mohawk chose Master Oak for their Chicago showroom cupboards. With its authentic look and feel, unmatched durability, and outstanding value, Master Oak redefines what veneer can be. Its tradition and innovation rolled into one – offering uncompromising beauty and performance.
