Designer Wood Panels: IMPRESSIONS & MAPAO
Two distinct design approaches: IMPRESSIONS with the 3D pattern designed by Karim Rashid and MAPAO with four combinable designs. DEKOSTYL supports selection, sampling and project enquiries.
Design and manufacturing roles, clearly defined
In its DESIGNER Series, the manufacturer combines design concepts with its own product development and manufacturing. IMPRESSIONS was created in collaboration with Karim Rashid; MAPAO comprises the four designs SHIMA, TAKE, YUKI and NAMI. Construction, dimensions, wood species and finishes are specified for each product.
