Duro Launches Kohinoor of Veneers Collection

06 Jan 2026 CW Team

Duro has recently introduced The Kohinoor of Veneers, a premium addition to its Nature Signature Range, positioning natural veneers as refined design materials for high-end interiors and architecture.

Inspired by the brilliance of the iconic Kohinoor jewel, the collection comprises ten distinct styles, offering designers a wide spectrum of visual and tactile expressions. These range from bold colour treatments and intricate grain patterns to smoky tones, rich charcoals, expressive burls and textured finishes, enabling applications across bespoke furniture, interiors and architectural elements.

The collection places strong emphasis on quality and longevity. Veneers are sourced from select mills across Europe and the Americas and are carefully chosen and calibrated to ensure consistency. Advanced processing techniques enhance dimensional stability, reduce the risk of warping and maintain surface integrity over extended use, while adhering to environmental and health standards.

Each sub-collection within the range brings a unique design language, allowing designers to align material choices with varied aesthetic sensibilities—from understated luxury to more experimental and statement-driven applications.

With The Kohinoor of Veneers, Duro aims to offer more than surface enhancement, presenting a material narrative shaped by nature, elevated by design and engineered for long-term performance.
