Trendy surfaces from Italian designer Piero Lissoni:
Bonn/Bad Salzuflen. HWB Furniere & Holzwerkstoffe from Bad Salzuflen, an importer and dealer operating throughout Germany, has contributed a particularly beautiful example of the effectiveness of veneer for MTU Aero Engines from Munich. Wall cladding, partition walls and counters in the company catering area of the engine manufacturer were completely finished with ALPI Veló Brown veneer, created by the renowned Italian designer Piero Lissoni.
ALPIlignum veneers, which include ALPI Veló Brown, are through-dyed and reconstructed sliced veneers. The texture of this veneer produced by the Italian company ALPI is the result of an industrial process that ensures that the end product always has a consistent texture, color and quality. The base woods used - poplar, ayous and lime - come from responsibly managed forests or Italian tree farms and are mostly FSC-certified. The grown wood is freed from natural knots, knots and color defects in various work steps and assembled into a new solid wood block from which the ALPI veneers are sliced. By adjusting the color or the texture-giving pressing form and through a multiple production run, the veneer can be changed so decisively that an almost limitless variety of designs results.
This special process enables designers to reproduce and implement their own signature while maintaining the natural surface. In this case, the renowned designer and ALPI S.p.A. art director Piero Lissoni has once again created a beautiful veneer exclusively for ALPI. Lissoni, born in 1956 in Seregno, Italy, studied architecture in Milan and then worked as a designer for various major companies. Almost 40 years ago, he founded his own studio Lissoni & Partners with Nicoletta Canesi. Lissoni is internationally renowned and, together with his team, develops products, objects and accessories that are characterized by clear lines, elegance and formal rigour.
This also includes the veneer now produced for MTU. It gives the surfaces designed with it at the Munich-based engine manufacturer a natural, warm look. "The veneer used is ideal for projects where a high-quality wood look is desired. It looks lively and elegant at the same time, a long-lasting appearance that never appears boring or old-fashioned," explains HWB Managing Director Frank D. Loebel. At the same time, it naturally meets the requirements for sustainability. "The veneer used is an ecological natural material. It fits well thematically with MTU, a company that has committed itself to the vision of emission-free flying in the future - a good and contemporary approach," says Loebel.
brandherm + krumrey interior architecture, RKW Architektur+ and Lämmler und Falkenstein Architekten were responsible for planning the project, while the veneer was processed by RheinKollektiv from Düsseldorf and Baierl & Demmelhuber Innenausbau from Töging am Inn. "The result is really impressive. The noble brown tone of the veneer harmonizes perfectly with the colour-coordinated seating, the beautiful ceiling lights and the discreet lighting of the veneered surfaces, which automatically draws the viewer's eye to these works of art of nature," says Ursula Geismann, Managing Director of Initiative Furnier + Natur (IFN) and long-time trend expert. Added to this is the pleasant contrast of the wooden floor. "A very harmonious project with a long-term effect," concludes the IFN Managing Director. IFN/DS
Initiative Veneer + Nature (IFN)
The Initiative Furnier + Natur (IFN) e.V. was founded in 1996 by the German veneer industry and its partners. Today it is supported by European companies from the veneer industry, the trade and the veneer processing industry as well as trade associations of the wood industry. The aim of the association is to promote veneer as a natural all-round material.
