Real wood veneers exclusive finish

The secret to a relaxed, livingroom feel: Hand-selected realwood veneers are the expressionof comfortable sophistication.The exclusive finish is achieved inthe way the tineo veneer is used:Horizontal grain that extends un-interrupted across the length of

expressive eleganceKitchen tradition and lifestyleaspirations come together inan attractively creative soluti-on.
