The interior design competence center in the Villa Salazar in Como
selected Hand-finished Matte Burl Walnut trim for the Vision GST and CLS
coupe. "By applying the oil-modified resin to the surface, the wood obtains a velvety, natural surface, on which both the structure and the pores are visible and noticeable. The veneer seems to be authentic, giving the same impression as touching a piece of natural wood that has been sanded very carefully," says
Klaus Villwock, Behr Industries Corp. The wood veneer in the M-Class
consists of 22 layers of a variety of 0.5 mm thick slices of wood.
