STYLE AND SUSTAINABILITY

Architects, designers and their clients today are increasingly conscious about opting for things that are natural and eco-friendly. That’s precisely why natural wood veneers have gained popularity with discerning buyers. What makes it better is the fact that brands like Coast to Coast produce these veneers using trees sourced from renewable forests, which makes them both economical and sustainable. The brand has established itself as one of the biggest wood veneer suppliers in the Indian interior infrastructure industry, providing veneers of different cuts, colours and grains. In fact, it has recently set up a state-of-the-art production facility with Italian know-how to manufacture dyed natural wood veneers in India. Launched under the brand True Color, the latest collection of veneers is dyed through a specialised process to achieve an even tone. Bringing out the natural grain and unique textures of wood to light, these easy to work with veneers are available in a range of vibrant and subtle colours and in the smoothest textures to enhance every type of surface. We spoke to three leading designers—Iram Sultan, Amrita Guha and Kohelika Kohli—to understand and illustrate the versatility of dyed veneers.
