The Rediscovery Collection

Doors in a Modernist State of Mind

Let's face it, there are many times when a beautiful set of custom doors is designed for a project, at a significant cost, but they don't make it to the grand opening. Too often, as the project nears completion and budgets constrict, these masterpieces are lost to cost-cutting. More's the pity, the end result is often a complete reversal; the least expensive doors are substituted and the project suffers a profound aesthetic blow.

In an effort to prevent this, Lynden Door has developed a striking new offering - the Rediscovery Collection. To make the doors appealing but to keep our offering (and attendant costs) manageable, we've based our designs on the best advice we could gather from a select group of architects, designers and design cognizati. Input from this formal advisory council was matched with market research and the advice of our many door re-sellers - professionals working in the construction industry in North America and around the world. Then we worked diligently with our vendors and in-house production teams to scrupulously drive cost OUT of the line.

The result is a concise, urbane and definitive contemporary door collection with a reasonable price point and therefore, much greater accessibility.

At the same time, these great doors are available in a fully bespoke version - just ask. Also, GreenDor attributes - like no-added urea formaldehyde and agricultural waste fiber cores - are optionally available.

Marine salvaged timber from the PANAMA CANAL

                   

                                                                    

I have access to logs and/or veneer from marine salvaged tropical hardwoods recovered from the Panama Canal. These clear, old-growth timbers have a strong environmental pedigree and offer a unique appearance, exquisite quality and a compelling story.

In order to make the best use of this material, we need to connect with a large scale project - one seeking over 200 doors and also possibly veneer panels, matching furnishings (both solid and veneered) and other uses of this valuable fiber.

Prices are reasonable, so long as a high volume is involved. The vendor is a US firm with business in Alaska. The contact is a local BC boy who knows just about all there is to know about the timber industry and salvage.
