Duro’s Firenze Collection of Dyed Veneers Designed in Italy

20 Jun 2025 CW Team

Born from the artistic and architectural legacy of Florence, the Firenze Collection by Duro pays homage to a city where material and form have long spoken in harmony. This newly launched range features 10 dyed veneers, designed in Italy and realised through meticulous craftsmanship, each echoing the quiet depth of the Renaissance city through expressive grain patterns and a carefully composed palette.

A part of Duro’s Nature Signature Range, the Firenze Collection is crafted to balance aesthetic richness with durability. Each sheet undergoes a Triple Heat Treatment process, enhancing dimensional stability, lowering moisture content, and offering protection from warping and delamination. Calibrated to A++ grade standards, the veneers guarantee uniform thickness and support precise fabrication. With low formaldehyde emissions and resistance to termites and borers, the collection ensures long-term performance and indoor safety across varied environments.

Engineered for versatility, the veneers are ideal for applications including bespoke furniture, wall panelling, cabinetry, ceiling treatments, and interior cladding. Infused with a sense of place, process, and purpose, the collection invites a quiet narrative into every setting. Whether used in residential, commercial, or hospitality environments, Firenze offers a refined material expression—where surface and story are woven together with thoughtful intent.
