It begins with a sheet of veneer.

Lenpura is the homeware brand of SENLONG Wood Company, a veneer house with more than twenty years at the craft.

SENLONG

Two decades of veneer

SENLONG Wood Company was founded in 2004 by Mike Yang in Houjie, Dongguan. It supplies decorative wood veneer to hotels, residences, workplaces and furniture makers around the world, and handles every step itself: sourcing the logs, slicing, bleaching and dyeing, fuming and further processing. Most of its logs come from FSC-certified forests, plantations or reclaimed sources.

LENPURA

From the wall to the table

The veneers SENLONG prepares for lobbies and private homes are the same ones Lenpura brings to the table. Trays, coasters, fine boxes and cigar humidors, each faced in one natural veneer and made to be handled every day — for hotels, restaurants, clubs and the people who furnish them.

The craft

Rare veneer, cut and matched by hand

A figure as striking as burl or swirl is never repeated. We choose the sheets, cut them precisely and lay them edge to edge, mirrored or turned, until a pattern appears that exists on no other piece — and the surface gains the depth and quiet richness of fine joinery.

  1. 01

    Choose

    Burls, swirls, curly and bird’s-eye figures, selected sheet by sheet from consecutive slices of one log.

  2. 02

    Cut

    Each piece cut to the millimetre so the grain runs on across every joint.

  3. 03

    Match

    Book-matched, four-way matched or laid as marquetry, the pieces form a figure found nowhere else.
