trueTEXTURE<br />
Company Barberán presented at LIGNA a revolutionary technology. During a decade Barberán has been leading the development of digital<br />
single pass presses for the furniture and flooring industry with great success, reaching a high print quality imitating wood, stone or any other<br />
types of design at industrial speeds.<br />
But in order to make it look real it also has to<br />
feel real, and this is where the efforts of these last<br />
years have been for company Barberán, resulting<br />
into the trueTEXTURE technology. Barberán in collaboration<br />
with company ZeeTree has developed<br />
a technology which will mean the final breakthrough<br />

karuun ® - Natural Perfection<br />
Start of Modern Material Thinking<br />
Using highly energy efficient technology, out for space transform rattan’s natural structure into a material which is both versatile and innovative.<br />
We call this new material karuun ® .<br />
A cross-section of rattan looks like a bundle<br />
of tubes. These tubes are in fact capillaries<br />
which give rattan the ability to transport water<br />
up to 200 metres. When the capillaries are injected<br />
with various fillers, rattan is transformed<br />
from a non-timber product with limited use to a<br />
versatile material at the forefront of natural alternatives<br />
to plastic. karuun ® defies classification<br />
and unlocks a wealth of innovative applications<br />
in areas such as the transportation sector, interior<br />
and furniture design, sports industry, interaction<br />
design, and consumer goods to name but a<br />
few. out for space has already attracted several<br />
well known companies to work on custom material<br />
development projects.<br />
The karuun ® product family<br />
Processing karuun ® rods into blocks opens<br />
the door to a multitude of new applications which<br />
harness the material’s natural flexibility and light<br />
weight. The homogeneous structure of the fibre is<br />
unique, and depending on the direction it is cut,<br />
three different karuun ® products each with various<br />
possibilities are created.<br />
out for space sells semi-finished products<br />
made of karuun ® for suitability testing. If you’re interested<br />
in discovering the variety of karuun ® materials,<br />
you can get samples box on karuun.com.<br />
karuun ® stripe - superior aesthetic<br />
standard<br />
karuun ® stripe allows surfaces with custom dimensions<br />
to be manufactured in a process which<br />
leaves no visible joints or offcuts. Almost any color<br />
variation can be injected into the capillaries and<br />
processed into a karuun ® surface. karuun ® stripe is<br />
perfect for use on flat surfaces such as boards or<br />
panels and its applications in interior design are<br />
boundless.<br />
karuun ® 3D ‐ the ecological<br />
alternative to plastic<br />
By combining capillary treatment and special<br />
nonwoven viscose fabric, the innovative<br />
karuun ® 3D surface boasts unprecedented threedimensional<br />
formability. Spherical objects as small<br />
as a button to as large as a deep-drawn formed<br />
component can be easily manufactured without<br />
having to worry about splintering.<br />
karuun ® shine - translucent wooden<br />
board<br />
karuun ® shine is a lightweight material which<br />
is simultaneously permeable to both air and light<br />
while being strong, pleasant to the touch and<br />
highly formable. The unique capillary structure<br />
makes karuun ® shine suitable for richly diverse<br />
applications, ranging from tailormade, high-tech<br />
acoustic protection and futuristic lighting to innovative<br />
flooring.<br />
