Exclusive Woods Bookmatched: Elevate Your Motorcar’s Interior

What is Bookmatching?
Bookmatching is a sophisticated technique that aligns two wood surfaces so that they mirror each other, creating the stunning effect of an open book. This method can be applied to both veneer and solid wood, enhancing the aesthetics of various objects, including luxury furniture, musical instruments like violins and cellos, and the exquisite interiors of our coachbuilt motorcars. By using the same wood material for both adjoining surfaces, we ensure a cohesive visual presence. The final result can range from a subtle appearance that gives the illusion of a single piece of timber to a bold and striking design featuring curved grains, much like those seen in high-end guitars. Additionally, this technique can also be applied to materials like marble and patterned stones.

Unique Motorcars with Niels van Roij Design
At Niels van Roij Design, we pride ourselves on the individuality of our creations. Our skilled wood specialists meticulously source the finest materials to craft bespoke veneers. Each veneer’s grain is as unique as a human fingerprint, ensuring that no two Niels van Roij Design motorcars are alike. Our world-class marquetry involves selecting the most captivating pieces of wood, showcasing intricate patterns that capture the eye. Crafting each set of veneers is a labor of love, taking approximately 30 days to complete. Our artisans carefully remove veneer layers using a rotating blade, collecting them like the pages of a book. Once processed, each veneer is hand-sanded, lacquered, and polished to perfection, allowing for precise bookmatching that achieves stunning symmetry in your vehicle’s interior.

Once the veneers are crafted, they are fitted into your bespoke interior, ensuring that every detail resonates with elegance. When you gaze at the dashboard, you will notice a beautifully seamless join that enhances the overall aesthetic.
