08/03/2018 - THE 21st-WOOD-CENTURY TAILOR MADE

The concept of “wood” as the 21st century material for tailor made is being used again and again in many occasions in the world of architecture; as mentioned by one of its leader, Architect Matteo Thun, guest at at Think Next by Franke, a meeting wanted by Franke CEO, Alexander Zschokke. Stretching from the themes shared in the industry of food, show cooking and surroundings, it emerges very clearly that wood has not yet set.

On the contrary, the desire for uniqueness, for a use of materials which have a warm soul, the need for personalization, the respect for nature and the its cycles, reflects the same in the world of tailor made kitchens; placing wood, the real one, as the king of “new” materials.

Following this big trend, we note how, over the last decade, research on wood, on its treatments and finishes has made it possible to extend the range of wood products in terms of aesthetic, as well as increasing its required performance. Smoked woods or thermowoods, fossil woods, not to mention the veneers of poor wood embellished with impregnation effects, new ranges of more and more sophisticated decorative composite wood surfaces which provide an ever richer palette of choice and which are able to respond to various application and needs to satisfy senses.

Important results are being achieved in many fields of product research and in the subject of sustainability of finishes. Starting from parquet-flooring and passing through most of wooden products, the world of applied wood is achieving important results that guarantee an excellent relationship between strength and naturalness.
