Wenge
Character / Color
Wenge is a very striking dark and large-pored wood with a prominent two-tone appearance. Light brown stripes and figures caused by the parenchyma cells contrast with the primarily coffee-colored wood. This dark and contrast-rich veneer figure with a matte finish creates an elegant atmosphere. A special lacquer which cannot react with the many substances in wenge should be used to maintain the lovely surface and to protect it from ultraviolet rays.
