New brand image with strong design innovations

With its new brand identity, Arbonia is bundling its door expertise under a single name. The trade fair appearance in Basel made this line out visible for the first time. With round 30,000 visits each year, HOLZ is one of the most important platforms for the Swiss woodworking industry. Arbonia used this stage to present its wide range of functional doors, design doors and door components. During the four days of the trade fair, Arbonia presented the two new design doors Linolea with a linoleum surface and Acrilea with an acrylic glass surface on its stand. The exhibited range was complemented by a complete glass door with a smoked glass look, a veneer door inclusiv wooden frame made of expressive olive wood. The focus was also on a hard-wearing, easy-care functional door with an HPL surface in a modern concrete look. This door was equipped with a robust PU chamfered edge and was shown together with a plug-in frame made of steel with a hospital rebate. High-quality aluminium frames were also on display at the Arbonia stand at the wood trade fair.

Linolea, the designer door with a linoleum surface
Linoleum enables a consistent material design in the interior - from floors and furniture to doors. The natural material made from renewable raw materials such as linseed oil, cork and wood flour as well as limestone powder is environmentally friendly, biodegradable and CO₂-neutral in its production. With a material thickness of 2 mm, it is hard-wearing, durable and easy to care for. Linoleum is antistatic, hygienic and bacteria-inhibiting, and fingerprints remain largely invisible. The heat to the touch and the wide range of colours open up numerous design options. Thanks to its unique material properties, all surfaces in the room can be covered with linoleum - for a consistent and harmonious design. Linolea, the designer door made of linoleum, fits seamlessly into this concept and combines sustainability, style and functionality.

Acrilea, the designer door with an acrylic glass surface
Acrylic glass enables elegant, high-gloss material design in interiors - from furniture to doors. It consists of the purest methyl methacrylate monomers, is durable, fully recyclable and impresses with its high scratch resistance and chemical resistance. With a material thickness of 8 mm to 300 mm, it offers a wide range of applications. Acrylic glass is UV-resistant and is delivered with a 10-year guarantee for outdoor use. Inlays create fascinating 3D effects that uniquely showcase light and reflections. The brilliant appearance and depth effect set modern design accents and open up new creative possibilities. Acrilea, the designer acrylic glass door, combines innovative aesthetics, exclusivity and high resistance.

Complete glass door in Smoked Grey
Complete glass doors create a modern junction of transparency, lightness and privacy. They are ideal for living spaces, where they serve as an elegant partition, as well as for commercial applications such as meeting rooms, reception areas, etc. The lightly tinted glass of the flared complete glass door in Smoked Grey provides privacy without compromising the openness of the room. This makes rooms appear optically larger and brighter. A wide range of fittings, high-quality door handles and matching accessories offer a variety of possibilities for customising Arbonia glass doors.

Functional door with HPL surface in concrete look
The flared functional door with HPL surfacein concrete look combines high resistance with contemporary design. Its easy-care, particularly resilient surface in a modern concrete look fulfils both functional and aesthetic requirements. The door is equipped with a hard-wearing PU chamfered edge and is presented in combination with a plug-in frame made of steel with a hospital rebate. It is ideal for heavily frequented buildings such as hospitals, schools or public facilities where security, durability and design are required.

Aluminium frames, slim sections for sophisticated architecture
The aluminium frames from the Küffner program junction elegant design with high functionality. Their slim, end-treated sections are available in different anodised shades and powder-coated in RAL, DB or NCS colours. They therefore offer a wide range of design options for modern interiors. Aluminium is easy to clean, does not rust and is particularly durable. The door frames are ideal for use in combination with fire and soundproof doors and fulfil the highest requirements in terms of technology and design in equal measure.

Veneer door made of olive wood
The veneer door with a massive wooden frame and a surface made of real olive wood brings the heat and vibrancy of a natural material into the interior. The characterful grain of the olive wood gives the door an unmistakable appearance and makes it an individual design element.
