LEGNBRÛLÉ™
Burnt Birch Wood
LEGNBRÛLÉ™ interprets the allure of burnt wood, transforming it into a surface with strong material value, where the memory of nature meets contemporary design. Inspired by birch wood subjected to fire, this exclusive finish delivers deep grain, three-dimensional textures, and natural nuances that convey warmth, authenticity, and elegance.
Developed by Molteni Vernici's Research and Development Center, LEGNBRÛLÉ™ reproduces the aesthetic of burnt wood through an innovative 1K single-component water-based cycle, allowing this refined material identity to be transferred even to surfaces that, by their nature, could not present the appearance of wood. The result is an extremely realistic finish, rich in visual depth and pleasant to the touch, capable of enhancing any interior design project.
Designed for the world of interior design, high-end furniture, luxury retail, hospitality, contract, and interior architecture, LEGNBRÛLÉ™ is ideal for boutiques, flagship stores, hotels, showrooms, spas, restaurants, contemporary villas, and exclusive residences. It finds application on doors, boiserie, decorative panels, feature walls, reception desks, counters, custom furniture, tables, bookshelves, furnishing accessories, coverings, and architectural details where the warmth of wood becomes the protagonist of the space.
The surface's particular three-dimensional structure reproduces the materiality and typical grain of wood subjected to controlled combustion, creating a refined balance between light, shadow, and texture. The result is a surface that evokes craftsmanship and the power of nature, reinterpreted through Molteni Vernici's technological research.
Applicable, using Molteni Vernici's specific cycles, on metals, wood, MDF, plastics, and numerous other substrates, LEGNBRÛLÉ™ allows the same aesthetic identity to be maintained even on completely different materials, offering designers a high degree of compositional freedom.
Intended exclusively for indoor applications, LEGNBRÛLÉ™ is ideal for residential, hospitality, retail, and contract environments where the project seeks surfaces with a strong emotional and material impact.
Through specific protective cycles, LEGNBRÛLÉ™ offers high performance in terms of resistance to wear, scratches, detergents, hot and cold liquids, and daily use, preserving the richness of the texture and the aesthetic quality of the surface over time.
With LEGNBRÛLÉ™, Molteni Vernici brings the allure of burnt wood to the world of contemporary architecture, offering architects and interior designers an exclusive finish that combines sustainability, innovation, and the extraordinary beauty of natural material reinterpreted through technology.
HISTORY
The technique of charring wood to preserve and decorate it is ancient and fascinating. Originating from Japan, the practice of Shou Sugi Ban—which means "burnt cedar boards"—dates back centuries. Used to protect wood from weather and environmental elements, this technique gives the wood a unique appearance and extraordinary durability.
Over the years, the beauty and sustainability of Shou Sugi Ban have captured the imagination of architects and designers worldwide. Today, Molteni Vernici rejuvenates this ancient tradition with LegnBrûlé, bringing the magic of burnt wood into contemporary homes and spaces.
LegnBrûlé is not just a finish, but a rediscovery of the roots of design, a return to nature in all its strength and beauty. With our advanced technology, we are able to faithfully replicate the aesthetics of burnt birch wood, maintaining the practicality and sustainability of modern materials. This finish is a celebration of tradition, reinterpreted for the present and future of design.
