THE WARM GLOW OF VENEER IN THE KITCHEN
The original idea brought the finest olive veneer to light. The veneer runs like a broad band around the cabinet, with backlighting along the entire surface. The combination of lightly-hued veneer and warm light makes the whole cabinet look like a dimmed lamp.
To illuminate the veneer to full effect, a great deal of light had to be generated. That requirement was fulfilled by built-in LED lighting. In addition, the veneer was cut as thin as possible, a technique allowed by the use of fleeced veneer, known as fleece´n´flex by Schorn & Groh.
Another advantage of fleeced veneer is its great flexibility. The cabinetmaker had no trouble in applying the razor-thin veneer to the curved sides of the cabinet. The sensitive surface was sealed with a tough polyamide resin (DD lacquer) to protect it long term from kitchen conditions.
Idea and Design: a-mano cabinetmarker, Karlsruhe
Aged beech – also known as vintage beech – is beech wood with a beautiful grain interspersed with black, highly decorative lines. These zonal lines are formed by various species of fungi that usually grow on dead and fallen trees and subsequently colonise the wood. The unique black markings in the wood delineate the territory of the respective fungus. The veneers of this type of wood are extremely rare, as the fungal colonisation often leads to the decay of the trees.
The longer the fungi remain in the wood, the more beautiful is the later marbling. At the same time, however, the quality of the wood deteriorates over time and becomes too soft for processing. With its 60 years of experience, the Karlsruhe veneer specialist Schorn & Groh knows how to determine the timing for veneer production and offers its customers a great selection of vintage beech veneers with varying degrees of marbling.
