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

With our studios in California, Tokyo, Como and China, we have
