MSASSA VENEER - RARE AFRICAN WOOD FOR TIMELESS ELEGANCE

Msassa veneer is one of the rarest natural wood veneers originating from Africa. Over the past 100 years, due to forest closure policies implemented by African governments, Msassa veneer has almost disappeared from the market. In 2025, Buon Ma Thuot Veneer proudly welcomes the return of this unique material. With hues ranging from pale yellow to light brown, paired with straight, even, and fine grain, Msassa offers a refined and luxurious feel, making it ideal for premium interior spaces.

The appeal of Msassa veneer lies not only in its aesthetic charm but also in its stable physical properties. It boasts excellent resistance to termites and fungi, high durability, and impressive compressive strength. This makes Msassa veneer a preferred choice for decorative wall panels, tabletops, furniture, and even flooring in high-end projects.

Due to its low permeability, Msassa veneer is typically processed using specialized surface techniques to preserve its natural color and provide optimal protection against environmental factors. The combination of rustic elegance and lasting strength makes Msassa a worthy choice for those seeking a wood material that is both unique and enduring.
