surfaces are spoilt for choice
today: the textures available
range from knotty oak to historic

makes it hard to decide. But anyone
who chooses a unique piece
from the best of the tree will enjoy
it for many years and decades,”
says Geismann.

spaces are also changing. For this
reason, the upcoming edition of
interzum will be presenting trends
in mobility in a dedicated spe-
