THINK DESIGN

THINK HOMAPAL

Over the years , hardly any other material has proven its worth in interior design to the extent in which the laminate has done . Looks , feel and function are combined to get the interplay of elements into all-embracing spatial concepts in a way that couldnt be more natural
Above all , it has always been the genuine- metal coated laminates and magnetic boards that are associated with the HOMAPAL name . Yet behind the scenes in Herzberg , many more variations of this modern material are created and produced .
It provides architects , carpenters and joiners in furniture-making and interior designs with the basis for producing the last word in creative design - in doctors ' surgeries , bars , hotels , clubs and restaurants , on cruise ships and in shop fitting .
