CANTISA’S GRID EFFECT EDGEBAND, INTERZUM AWARD'S WINNER
Cantisa is celebrating! The grid effect edgebanding is the first edgeband to receive an Interzum Award since this event has been held.
International products in all categories compete at the Interzum Awards, so this prize not only recognises originality in the design of edgeband, but it also shows recognition to Cantisa’s effort to give added value to edgebanding, considered so far a complement, by turning it into a more decorative element.
To be awarded with one of these prizes the product has to meet a number of very demanding requirements. The criteria are clear and challenging: high levels of innovation, original design, innovative materials and perfect functionality. The jury is made up of international experts in design and architecture. All this, has made the Interzum Awards one of the greatest recognition in the furniture industry.
AWARDS AND OPENING CEREMONY
Cantisa’s team was at the Awards Ceremony, held at the Theater am Tanzbrunnen in Cologne last Monday. There they collected the award given in the category of “High Product Quality” to the grid effect edgebanding. A recognition to their commitment to quality and innovation in their work.
This event marked the beginning of the 2019 edition of Interzum and has allowed us to know the trends and the future challenges in the design of furniture and interiors.
The winning edge-banding will be on display at the Interzum Fair Boulevard , in the passages between the halls. Come and meet the great winner!

In the world there are millions of forests. Some are close to urban centers, others in remote and inaccessible places, but they all fulfill a key role: maintain the balance of the planet. They are literally the lung of the earth. When talking about a new forest, the first thing that comes to mind is usually reforestation, a recent plantation or the recovery of an area razed by fire. But this discovery is on another way. It is not a forest sown recently. It is an old forest, which was there for thousands of years, buried under the ice. And now, with the thaw caused by global warming, he has emerged again.

Elegant, ecological and resistant: the wood treated with the millenary technique called Yakisugi challenges the weather and the passage of time. In the world of design and construction, a Japanese ancestral technique is gaining prominence. This is the Yakisugi (also known as Shou Sugi Ban), a method that consists in burning the surface of the wood to make it more resistant and attractive. Although it may seem contradictory, exposing wood to fire gives natural protection against moisture, insects and deterioration over time.
