Thermally Modified Tambour at BDNY 2025: Sustainable Wood Technology Reshaping Hospitality Design - Yanko Design
"The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center will transform into the epicenter of hospitality design when Boutique Design New York (BDNY) returns November 9-10, 2025. For two intensive days, over 8,000 interior designers, architects, purchasing agents, and hospitality professionals will converge with more than 700 carefully curated exhibitors where advanced materials, visionary concepts, and industry-defining partnerships shape the future of commercial interiors."
"Thermally modified wood uses only heat and steam to transform ordinary lumber into superior building material. The process is straightforward: heat wood to temperatures above 180°C in controlled environments, fundamentally altering its cellular structure. This chemical-free modification reduces moisture content to nearly zero, dramatically improving dimensional stability while enhancing natural resistance to decay, insects, and fungal growth. No toxic treatments. No chemical preservatives. Just heat, steam, and time."
BDNY will return to the Javits Center November 9-10, 2025, attracting over 8,000 designers, architects, purchasing agents, and hospitality professionals alongside more than 700 exhibitors. Sustainability has reached an inflection point in commercial design as travelers and building certifications increasingly prioritize environmental credentials. Designers seek materials that combine luxury aesthetics with responsible sourcing. Thermally modified tambour panels provide a solution by using only heat and steam to alter wood at temperatures above 180°C, producing chemical-free lumber with near-zero moisture and enhanced dimensional stability. The process increases resistance to decay, insects, and fungi, offering exterior-grade durability and rich, uniform tones that rival tropical hardwoods.
