ABET Wood is a new Collection of real wood finishes encapsulated into high pressure laminate. It has been launched by the international laminate manufacturer ABET LAMINATI. The Collection comprises 22 variations including six natural wood finishes, such as maple, ash, mahogany and cherry and 16 reconstituted finishes which include rosewood, zebrano and wenge.

Obeflex real veneer high pressure laminate, exclusively distributed in the UK by Abet Ltd, has launched a striking new 18-strong collection called Chic & Pop. Diametrically opposed at first sight, the Chic range comprises more traditional subtle new whitened, grey, natural and chocolate tints applied on walnut and zebrano wood veneers, complete with the striking new astrakhan oak finishes, while the Pop collection makes use of strong, vibrant fluorescent tints that offer both offbeat and stylised solutions to modern, coloured creative interior design schemes.

Magnetico magnetic high pressure laminate and a selection of plain colours in different finishes and textures have been supplied by ABET LAMINATI for use on an interactive ‘art cart’ at the National Museum of Scotland. The mobile cart was developed and designed by National Museums Scotland’s design team. Currently sited in the National Museum’s main hall, it houses a selection of children’s activities including activity trails, sketchbooks, zoetrope strips to create animations and “Colour me in” sheets with objects from the collections.

Oberflex real wood veneer high pressure laminate is a feature of the newly redesigned and refurbished Etsu cafe at London’s Marylebone Station. Oberflex is exclusively supplied in the UK by Abet Ltd. Designed and specified by West One Strategy Ltd, the new scheme uses Spiced Wood Pepper from the Oberflex Olympics range, on the fronts of the serving counters. This heavy duty location demanded a surface material which would not only look visually strong and appealing but which would also withstand being kicked and scuffed by customers.

Several new Collections of laminate for Architects and Designers, including new Serigrafia 2008 designs created by renowned Italian designer Paola Navone, have been introduced by Abet. These were recently launched at the IOD together with the entire new collection from Abet Laminati. The new Serigrafia laminates comprise 16 visually exciting and different textured silk-screened designs inspired by nature, ranging from dandelions and other flowers through to rose petals and leaves.

Oberflex Real Wood Laminate incorporating a Rosewood veneer has been used extensively throughout the refurbished Crowne Plaza Hotel in Chester. Exclusively available in the UK from Abet Ltd, the Oberflex high pressure laminate, with a stunning deep red grain lines the walls, counters and surfaces in the reception, bar and restaurant areas creating a rich, vibrant and lavish feel to the hotel's interior. The scheme was designed and specified by TFL Architects.
