NATURAL , ECOLOGICAL AND ENDLESS DESIGN POSSIBILITIES
The passion for design has always been an integral part of Mafi . With the Carving Edition , this company from Austria brings well known and also new patterns to the individual planks of natural wood floorings . The real star of the collection is the design itself . Depending on the decor the arty pattern extends up to 15m2 on the floor before it repeats itself . The development of the carving line is far from finished , because the future can also bring custom-made designs which can be introduced into the timber . This represents a great opportunity for companies , via a still largely unknown channel , to effectively bring forth their own corporate identity . Also , in private projects these natural wood designs can create stunning accentuations and highlight specific areas . Subsequently , mafi created seven different standard designs to demonstrate the possibilities available within the Carving idea .
