Wood designs: an essential in decoration

2021-11-25 -

Wood is a noble material and adaptable to different styles of decoration. The EGGER Design Collection has a wide variety of wood reproductions for furniture and interior design.

In the world of interior design, woods, due to their versatility of tones and textures, are the ideal ally to combine with each other or with other materials.

The woods can be classified according to 3 main characteristics: tone, grain / knots and texture.
When we speak of tone we refer to light, medium and dark woods. You also have to pay attention to the presence of brown, reddish, gray and black tones that highlight certain aspects and give the design personality.
Another aspect to take into account when choosing is the presence of veins and knots, which in some cases are very marked and protagonists, with large cathedrals that give strength to the design, and in others they are more discreet giving rise to more sober designs. and elegant. Among the EGGER Decorative Collection options you will find woods with linear veins, through harmonious and natural woods, elegant and also those with more personality and more rustic.
Finally, texture is the key to achieving that effect of realism in furniture and interior coverings. In the age of advanced digitization, the sensations of objects have become very important. Only the correct texture makes a wood reproduction stand out. With expression, character, texture and naturalness, the reproductions of woods in the EGGER Design Collection seek to reflect the original design as much as possible. Wood grain textures are created with gloss and matte effects, gently brushed pores, soft knots, or a natural look to suit different styles. Now if we talk about the latest technology in wood reproductions, Feelwood Synchronized Pore Boards provide that visual and tactile sensation of natural wood. They are available in melamine particle board on both sides, Eurolight cellular board and XL Laminate.
Eurolight cellular boards have a thickness of 38 mm made up of two particle boards and a core of a very resistant cardboard structure. They are ideal for creating thicker designs, being 60% lighter.

Combinations of wood reproductions with each other or with other materials give rise to different styles:
ModernClassics combines well-known classics from the maple, cherry and oak families, which remain popular for their natural, yet modern and timeless look. The color scheme of these wooden reproductions has been adapted to allow combinations with modern, solid materials.
Some of the designs that make up this trend are: H3170 Natural Kendal Oak and H3012 Coco Bolo, the latter further enhancing its linear character thanks to the ST22 Deepskin Linear texture.

"FutureRetro" It is exhibited with classic materials such as marble, textile or walnut. Here you will find modern reproductions and natural textures. The classics are rediscovered in combinations with trendy themes such as black or metal.
They will be able to choose between reproductions of woods such as H1253 Robinia Branson Truffle Brown, H1714 Lincoln Walnut whose Premium texture ST19 Deepskin Excellent combines flowered parts with linear areas; The matte and glossy wood grain of the texture gives the design an overall striking yet natural look.

Authentic wood types and the charm of handmade products are found in the "PureNature" trend. Feelwood's synchronized pore surfaces recreate the feel of these wooden reproductions. Cracks are noticeable and knots deepen, the H1181 Halifax Tobacco Oak design is a faithful representative of the "PureNature" style.
Another design that integrates this trend is the H3131 Davos Natural Oak that presents natural elements, such as knots and inclusions, with an interplay of dark colors. Its ST12 Omnipore Matt texture gives it a soft and pleasant sensation.

Perfection can be achieved with the help of the latest technology, but this is not always desirable in design. In the “PerfectImperfection” trend, irregularities and imperfections such as cracks, chips, handcrafted items or the elements are purposely used to add emotion and naturalness to perfection.
The H1387 Denver Graphite Oak and H3332 Nebraska Gray Oak designs are part of this trend. They offer new possibilities in furniture design thanks to their ease of combination with unicolors and reproductions of materials. The ST10 Deepskin Rough texture gives an authentic look to the visually rough wood surface.

The influence of Scandinavian design continues to grow. Combination of materials, such as concrete and metal, or even neutral tones such as gray, help to create an urban atmosphere that characterizes the "LightUrban" style.
The H3430 White Aland Pine design and the F638 Chromix Silver are part of this trend, which includes metallics, textiles and woods that allow a harmonious combination with each other and with warm unicolours.

In every design we know that the details are what make the difference. Therefore, to ensure the perfect combination of color, shine and texture with the board.
