The Veneer collection shows fluid lines moving on the surface of the objects. A dreamy reinterpretation of the wood grain gives texture and dynamism to the home environment.

Veneer is a veil that delicately settles on the surfaces of the new products designed by Patricia Urquiola for Alessi. The rhythm of the decoration ripples over the volumes, creating a pleasant wave effect. The movement of the texture reinterprets the grain of wood in a controlled manner, almost creating an optical illusion thanks to the fluid lines floating over the surface. Veneer thus constitutes a dreamy and distinctive pattern.
