REHAU polymeric surfaces are more versatile than ever in this anniversary year
A decade ago at interzum 2013, REHAU presented its vision for front boards to the furniture sector – an interpretation based on purist design, fresh looks and mesmerising materials.

Today, the REHAU Interior Solutions division is familiar to the furniture trade. The brand delivers exactly what furniture designers need to support their creativity process, combining high product quality in comprehensive decor collections with smart services – the ideal package when it comes to ‘Enabling exceptional design’.
