Wood meets color
Legnoquattro S.p.A. is one of the world’s few industrial manufacturers specializing in dyed wood veneers. Since its founding in 1983, the company has become a trusted partner to clients worldwide, offering exceptional quality, innovation, and customization in the production of dyed veneers. Based in Novedrate, between Milan and Como, Legnoquattro operates at the heart of Italy’s most influential furniture and design district, serving industries ranging from high-end furniture and interior design to automotive and nautical applications.
Legnoquattro’s dyed veneers are produced through a meticulous, multi-stage industrial process designed to ensure uniformity, durability, and an enhanced natural grain. The production process includes:
Inspection and Sorting – Each veneer sheet is carefully inspected and categorized by both quality and intended final color, ensuring the highest standard of raw material selection.
Sheet Separation – Individual sheets are separated from larger packs into smaller batches of three to four sheets, allowing for precise and consistent processing.
Bleaching and Dyeing – Veneers undergo a bleaching process to remove natural impurities and minerals, producing a clean, uniform surface. After bleaching, the sheets are immersed in dyes to achieve the exact color requested by the client, resulting in a vibrant, evenly distributed hue that highlights the wood’s natural grain.
Drying – The dyed sheets are passed through specialized drying machinery in small batches to guarantee consistent moisture removal without damaging the veneer.
Pressing and Flattening – Finally, the sheets are carefully pressed and flattened to prevent warping, ensuring that each veneer is perfectly smooth and ready for further use.
At Legnoquattro, both traditional and innovative production methods are employed to meet the diverse technical and aesthetic requirements of global clients. Legnoquattro maintains a well-established network of suppliers, sourcing veneers from a wide variety of wood species. An in-house team meticulously selects raw materials to guarantee only the finest quality. Complementing this, the company’s chemical laboratory continuously develops new color tones, tests innovative products, and produces custom samples tailored to client needs.
