NEW TEXTURES
The Cleaf collection highlights the innovative, aesthetic and tactile, research on surfaces.
It recalls the Made in Italy ability to interpret the needs of contemporary furniture and the most inspiring environments, thanks to the continuous exchange of ideas with architects and industrial designers.
A complete and coordinated collection – more than 60 textures and 600 decorative papers – which allows the creation of multiple stylistic combinations for different contexts.
The latest textures are Bruciato and Cheope.
Bruciato
Shou Sugi Ban is the ancient Japanese technique of burning wood to preserve it over time. Besides being a conservative and eco-sustainable practice it gives an aesthetically pleasing “burnt wood” effect. The Bruciato texture is the representation of this effect on an ash essence. It’s available as faced panel, laminate and ABS edge.
Cheope
Cheope is a geometric texture inspired by the perfect lines of pyramids seen from a zenithal point of view. The shape is interpreted in its three-dimensionality, in order to create plays of light and shadow on furniture and walls. It’s available as faced panel and laminate.

NEW TEXTURES
The flexibility of the internal production model of Cleaf allows for continuous experimentation transferring striking tactile and visual sensations to coating surfaces.
An increasing number of textures that create an advanced system of products, confirmed by the architects and companies that choose it to build inspirational spaces for living and working.
The latest textures are Geta, Paglia e Poro Noce.
Okobo
Paulownia wood is used for the production of okobo, the traditional Japanese sandals worn by maiko, the apprentice geisha. They are made with a single block of carved wood and they have a very high heel dig at the front of the foot.
The Okobo texture has an attractive appearance due to the regularity of the fiber. It’s available as faced panel, laminate and ABS edge.
Paglia
The Paglia texture presents an endless series of parallel vertical lines that give the surface a vibrant effect. Combined with solid color decorative papers it enhances the geometric pattern and with the wood essences it blends the three-dimensional effect. It’s available as faced panel and ABS edge.
Poro Noce
The Poro Noce texture reproduces the wood of walnut, a tree considered a symbol of fertility, whose ancient presence in Campania is witnessed by the discovery in the excavations of Pompei of carbonized trees. The pores are spread in a diffuse way and are easily recognizable to the naked eye. It’s available as faced panel and ABS edge.
