Natural and hard-wearing new look with Master Oak

October 9, 2024 2 min read

When something seems too good to be true, it usually is. Except with Master Oak. As Fugazzi architect Tom Vanwynsberghe discovered during the design of the new shop layout of the House of Hairdressers. Master Oak not only combines the look but also the feel of solid oak but with the durable scratch resistance of melamine and HPL.

The new look of the busy hairdresser’s shop required a mix of naturalness – which is in keeping with the product range in the shop – and easy-care. "The swirling hairs are razor sharp and destroy everything", explains Tom. Sustainable melamine faced walls and shelving with a fresh and natural veneer look are therefore the perfect application in this project.

Project details

Location: Waregem
Country: Belgium
Sector: Retail
Architect: Fugazzi
Installer: Corpo Interior
Design: Master Oak natural
Photographer: Kris Dekeijser  

As the Master Oak range is scratch-resistant and easy to clean, these panels bring new design possibilities to environments where wood veneer would otherwise be unsuitable, such as garage workshops and hairdressing salons. What’s more, Master Oak is also extremely strong and more affordable than real oak.
