    Black is an anchor. It defines and elevates the palette around it. Across each of our ranges, we have a selection of black veneers and wallcoverings, each with its own tone, grain and personality—yet all underpinned by the same depth and sophistication that black brings to a space.

    Eveneer Prefinished purity and textural finesse

    For a contemporary, consistent black with a subtle linear texture, Eveneer Prefinished Xilo Black, designed by ALPI’s creative director Piero Lissoni, offers a deep, architectural tone with a tactile, touchable surface. Its counterpart, Eveneer Raw Xilo Planked Black, introduces the rhythm of planked grain with a natural effect that keeps the richness of black intact.

    When a true, uncompromising black is the brief, Eveneer Prefinished Pure Black delivers a textured timber surface—perfect for bold applications. With its factory applied polish, it helps designers achieve the best result in any environment.

    WoodWall offers seamless curves and vertical drama

    Beautiful black veneers are also available in WoodWall, our pre-polished wallcovering that applies like wallpaper, allowing curves and continuous runs without compromise. Ravenna introduces a lush, blue-black tint that shifts with the light.

    Used in tandem with its Eveneer Raw Ravenna counterpart, the result is a seamless transition from wall to joinery, as seen in projects like Equinox House and McCormack.

    Achieve a continuous and distinctive finish with Evenex PaperWall

    For large, expansive runs with minimal joins, Evenex PaperWall offers a unique alternative. Shou Sugi Ban captures the shimmering charred look of traditional Japanese burnt timber, while Black Caviar presents a true matte black with a classic crown grain.

    Even more options with Eveneer Raw

    For a classic and timeless black finish, Eveneer Raw Ravenna  gives a softly grained black.

    ALPI Designer Collection for when black is a canvas

    For those seeking originality, the ALPI Designer Collection reimagines veneer as art. Sushi Dark Grey, designed by the Campana Brothers, overlays organic circular forms in silver against a dark grey, almost black background, creating an interplay of movement and stillness. Tarsie 3 Black, by Piero Lissoni, uses fine charcoal and black linear variations to form a subtle, graphic composition.

    From the classicism of Pure Black to the experimental artistry of Sushi, Elton Group’s black veneers and wallcoverings prove that black is never one-dimensional. Instead, it’s a spectrum, one that offers designers endless opportunities to define mood, texture and space.
