Our Material Made to enhance the dynamic of any interior, each EVOVE™ surface panel uses solid timber crafted in a simple three-dimensional form. Like all timber used at Evostyle, our panels are made from sustainably sourced and FSC certified hardwoods. The size of the panels are specifically designed to make use of the abundance of offcuts produced in the factory, ensuring that no beautiful timber goes to waste. Due to our local manufacturing, we are also able to deliver a range of project specific customisations. Timbers
All designs are available in American White Oak and American Black Walnut. We also manufacture blank panels which can help personalise surface arrangements for larger applications. Easily Reshuffled
Using our clip-on system, the panels can be easily removed and rearranged without the need for specialist equipment. This creates a dynamic environment that can be modified without the need for renovation.

The Experience
As the soft morning light morphs into the deep evening shadows, subtle layering within each timber surfaces is revealed. Unlike other man-made materials, humans have a natural attraction to the tangible presence of timber. Full of richness and subtle complexity, the use of timber within a space can profoundly effect the mood and energy of its users. The EVOVE™ surfaces aim to capture, distill and reveal the allure of timber through the use of the sculptural form.

Rise
by Adam Goodrum Designed to its most basic elements, Rise is the epitome of sophistication. Goodrum’s love of geometry and paper folding gave form to the gentle sweeps that rise towards the central fold. This overall geometric simplicity emphasises the natural topography of timber, showcasing variations in colour and grain.

Elv
by Tom Skeehan Elv is inspired by the topographical features seen in aerial photographs of natural river systems. The directional flow of the panels celebrates these riverine forms in a way that champions the character of the timber. Designed to work in harmony, each of the four Elv panels can be arranged in an infinite number of fluid abstractions.

Liminal
by Jon Goulder In a state of transition, Liminal exists in the space in between. Both above and below. In the lightness and the dark. Always shifting. Yet, it is in these transitions Goulder finds balance – crafting a visual harmony that is texturally rich, sophisticated and luxurious.

Pipi
by Caroline Casey A ubiquitous feature of coastal landscape, the Australian pipi nestles lightly on the edge of the waterline. When collected from the sand, a shallow impression of the pipi’s transient home is revealed - soon to be washed away by the incoming tide. Awed by this fleeting beauty, Casey has captured and distilled the shallow impression into the tessellating patterns of Pipi.

Swell
by Louise Ommundson Swell began as an abstraction of the rolling waves of the ocean. However, some configurations with the panels draw similarities with knitted or scale textures, with the shadows formed on the natural timber being the real focus. Being such a simple form, Swell also allows the natural colours and features of the timber itself to play a dominant role in the design.

Tendrel
by Ben Cooper Inspired by the Buddhist philosophies of interdependence, Tendrel is a manifestation of the intricately woven fabric that binds all living things. Like a winding path, Tendrel twists and turns, leading to surprising new patterns that influence the dynamic of a space. As a modular two-panel design, an infinite number of arrangements can be achieved through mixed or single use of the Tendrel panels.

Canyon
by Patryk Koca Designed on the principle of creating layers within a space, Canyon explores the tension between surface and depth through a distinctive double undercut design. This tension was inspired by the natural contrast seen in the rocky outcrops and gullies that erode the landscape of Central NSW.

Deco
by Adam Goodrum Deco is a modern-day interpretation of designs originating from Art Deco period of the 1920’s. Geometric and bold, the stepped layers of the panels create sculptural relief within the wall space, adding a sense of theatre to an interior space. The design finds a balance between ornamentation and simplicity; giving creative versatility in its arrangement.

Flinders
by Jon Goulder Taking inspiration from the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, Goulder merges his distinctive aesthetic with the form of two converging ridge lines. Using the division of negative and positive space, each panel creates a dynamic array of patterns when tessellated in different orientations. Not only does the form change, but also the depth and dimension of the wall itself.

Seed
by Caroline Casey Tucked away in the back inlet of Great Mackeral beach, thrives a healthy mangrove forest. It is here Casey finds a scattered array of waxy mangrove seeds, washed haphazardly along the shore. Placed within a square, the over-lapping leaves form an asymmetrical pattern that, when repeated, unfold a series of organic variations.

Evening
by Patryk Koca Evening is a physical exploration of the atmospheric changes experienced as day shifts into night. The sculptural relief of material creates a gradient effect, imitating the contrast of soft and hard light formed by the setting sun. The overall effect of the design can be translated into any number of potential arrangements, adding a refined complexity to an interior space.

Crosswalk
by Louise Ommundson Crosswalk is influenced by the impossible objects of graphic artist M.C. Escher. With an overlapping form, the design has an illusive effect of the panels becoming interwoven. By rotating individual panels, this pattern can be subtly changed, creating new illusions. Strong and dynamic en masse, the design also works well as a series of “pixels� amongst flat timber panels.
