ALPIlignum is the base element of production at ALPI. Assiduous research and development combined with technological innovation and artisanship have resulted in a reconstituted wood that is the heart and symbol of the ALPI universe. Made of real wood, ALPIlignum is a non-printed, designable product made by disassembling and reassembling the raw material in infinite ways, creating a limitless number of wood types, finishes and patterns for veneer – a fascinating and complex procedure that requires inventiveness and skilled craftsmanship in equal amounts.
Peeling, dyeing, recomposing, glueing, pressing, squaring, cutting and testing form the production sequence of ALPILignum, through which the company creates its woods, offering different and novel textural effects inspired by the world of nature and that of design par excellence. A precise design approach that hones every phase to transform the material, surpassing conventional parameters of development to achieve true Wood by Design.
Thanks to its in-depth research and industrial culture, ALPI is, therefore, able to offer bespoke wood at the service of design, enhancing the intrinsic characteristics to respond to all project needs, and providing custom solutions and unlimited aesthetic variety.
ALPIlignum veneer is also available in the ALPIlignum Paper Back version combining the aesthetic characteristics of wood with a high level of flexibility made possible by the special support sheet, 10 mil paper, generating a product that is particularly suitable for soft forming. ALPIlignum Paper Back permits very narrow curvature radii while reducing scrap, and it is easy to stain or finish. These characteristics make it ideal for laminating to curved or flat surfaces or the creation of edge banding.
