TABU Natural Dyed Veneers
Animae is a series of precious wood surfaces of the latest generation: industrial inlays (Faded& Rigato), bas-relief in wood (Pixel) and multilaminar wood surfaces (Prospettive Sinuose). With this collection we celebrate the beauty, the playfulness, the wonder, the creativity, in a word, the soul.
Rigato Industrial Inlay
Designed by: Camilla Cermenati & Erika Frusca
Aesthetics of great impact, refinement and elegance of the design. A unique texture, generated by the rotation of multilaminar veneers, in two different colors surprises with unexpected geometric combinations and amusing chromatic games.
Faded Industrial Inlay
Designed by: Francesca Trentani
A delicate pattern inspired by the organic and fluid shapes of the marine species that populate the coral reef, designed to elegantly decorate the living spaces. The intent of the designer is to raise awareness of the phenomenon of coral reef bleaching, which is a result of heavy imbalances in the marine ecosystem.
Pixel 3D Surface
Designed by: Mattia Fornari
Design awarded for the coherent, creative and elegant use of a digital pixel matrix transferred in such an irregular way on the veneer. The final rich and sophisticated result by using the different essences with light chromatic variations confers to the surfaces an unexpected three dimensional vibration.
Prospettive Sinuose Multilaminar wood veneer
Designed by: Noemi Verdoliva
The decor captures the essence of TABU multilaminar veneers, both in the carefully thought-out composition technology and in the freedom of the chromatic matching.
FLAT CUT. The veneer is characterised by flame or “cathedral” figure. It’s obtained when the cut is made tangentially to the direction of the growth rings. Cutting commences on the sapwood side of the log.
QUARTER CUT. The veneer is obtained by quarter slicing a portion (1/4, 1/3) of a log. The cut is radial, perpendicular to the annual growth rings: the result is a striped veneer with vertical grain in the direction of the fiber.
ROTARY CUT. Veneer is cut on a lathe which rotates a log, chucked in the centre, against a knife fixed over the whole length of the log and set into it at a slight angle. The result is a veneer with a “wave” structure, without a precise and repeatable figure.
DYED VENEER. Natural dyed veneers of all types of wood species are dyed throughout the whole thickness.
MW - MULTILAMINAR WOODS. The multilaminar wood is composed of several “sheets” that, after being individually dyed, are assembled so as to obtain veritable solid woods from which the veneers will be then sliced.
FLEECED BACK VENEER BY SHEET. The jointed-sheet is fleeced back on non-woven-tissue or on paper (both available in FSC®).
THREE-DIMENSIONAL WOOD SPECIES. Precious wood, gift of Nature, with three-dimensional fiber.
MW ECOZERO® - FORMALDEHYDE-FREE. ECOZERO MW veneers are manufactured using formaldehyde-free glues.
BIO2 Veneers in “smoke”, grey and brown tones, produced with a dyeing process repeatable over time without synthetic dyes.
