A wooden note for great acoustics

Premium veneers and the sounds of the great masters at the Macedonian Opera House – a composition which is not only a hit among music fans.

STYLISH VENEER MADE OF AMERICAN CHERRY

The Macedonian Philharmonic Orchestra is a fixed element of the diverse cultural landscape of the Balkans. Since its extensive conversion, this renowned building has also had plenty to offer nature lovers. 10,000 m² of veneers made from American cherry wood were supplied to the opera house by JAF Serbia. With great skill, the craftsmen processed the 0.6 and 0.9 mm sheets to form a breath-taking backdrop which, despite the thinness of the veneers, sends a clear signal about the powerful impact of veneer when it comes to interior design.

Lofty clarity

Good design can be found in the most unlikely places. Given its stylish wooden interior cladding, this gymnasium in Lipnik is a good example.
