Oak Veneer in Luxury Kitchen Design: Warmth & Elegance
We spoke to our Creative Design Manager Lukas about how Lanserring uses oak veneer in creative and beautiful ways to enhance a project.
There are a range of techniques that can be employed to transform this material into something unexpected.
‘Veneer slips can be arranged into different patterns, from the lively character of crown cut to the clean lines of rift cut, or even combinations like chevron for a sophisticated look. Its hardness also makes oak veneer more resistant to mechanical impacts than many other species.’
Lukas explained some recent experimentation we have done with Oak Veneer . We explored using the same oak veneer and finished applying different mechanical treatments – creating a very interesting and distinctive effect.
One of our design principles (mentioned in our recent article linked here) is authentic layering. Lukas notes that combining and contrasting this material with marble or brass can have a lovely effect adding ‘warmth, texture, and elegance’
What we use at Lanserring is either FSC certified or sourced locally from sustainably managed forests. Austrian forestry law requires harvested areas to be replanted or naturally regenerated, ensuring long-term balance. Veneer also maximises efficiency, providing large surface coverage from less raw timber than solid wood.
An example of where we have used this material to enhance the beauty of a space is the Notting Hill Townhouse. The elevated, stand out feature of the luxury kitchen is the stunning European green stained oak veneer, which adds depth and character to the design. It elegantly contrasts the white quartz worktop.
