Danzer is a leading quality hardwood company. The company employs approximately 2,000 employees and services customers from 21 sales offices worldwide. Founded in 1932, and now employing over 2000 employees worldwide, the family oriented company owns and manages forests sustainably and produces veneer, timber and innovative value-added wood products for decorative purposes. Danzer products are being used in high-quality furniture, automobiles, interior architecture and other applications, in fact two years ago they exhibited some astonishing curved railing products used in the home and in the boating industry.
This year, examples for new surfaces are Danzer Linea und Danzer Figura. Danzer Linea is a cut-to-size high quality veneer, which exhibits an attractive rift cut appearance. Made from the real species, a unique industrial process ensures a reliable and cost-effective supply. Danzer presented Linea in Cologne in four wood species: American Walnut, American White Oak, European Birch and Silver Birch.
For Danzer Figura a new technical process creates highly decorative figured veneers, which can hardly be distinguished from a natural grown figure. The Danzer method mimics the natural process that results in figured veneers. This ensures that the grain structure of the wood is persistently altered and the visual appearance will not fade over time. At Interzum this year, Danzer Figura Anigre and European Sycamore were the two main products using this technique they exhibited.
Danzer Vintage Style Veneers overcome the traditional limitations of genuine vintage wood – to be best suited for individual projects – they allow industrial applications with this kind of rustic veneers: the production process just accelerates the natural aging process. Vintage Style is currently available in European Oak.
Its funny but when I was in manufacturing, veneer was frowned upon, often reffered to as “too hard” and “look out”. But now I can’t help but love these new veneers and the techniques they have used to produce these stunning pieces of work.
