Product: Architectural Systems Fusión Wood Panels

Reclaimed wood is appealing for many reasons, including its warmth, natural variations, and embedded history. Architectural Systems capitalizes on its charm by combining wood salvaged from wine barrels with natural materials to create Fusión Wood Panels. Suitable for walls, architectural millwork and furniture components, the 4′-by-8′ panels come in 12 different patterns and a several species, including teak and American oak. Backed by MDF, solid wood, or wood veneer composite, Fusión Wood Panels provide the authenticity and dimensionality that the faux-wood finishes of the 1970s often lacked. • archsystems.com
