In addition, a maze of pointillist patterns is created using a scattered application of natural minerals.
- 3D wood3D Wood consists of wood veneer supported by fabric. The material is worked in such a way that it is very flexible. Various surface treatments enhance the material's features. It is stain-resistant, water-repellent, strong, and soft. The surface cuts do not alter the characteristics of the wood, even in light shades, and the original colour remains intact.
- Moulded woodMoulded wood is a modern composite which, thanks to a moulding technique, allows to create different products with different shapes. The material is made out of 92% of virgin wood coming from local coniferous trees and 8% of binders of different qualities. The wood can be used to create numerous objects, from furniture to packaging material.
- Solid Wood Decorative ElementsThese decorative elements made from wood have proven themselves in nautical applications and are resistant to salt water and UV.
