LYPTUS® WOOD AND THE VISTA COLLECTION

E N V I R O N M E N TA L I S M

PART OF OUR TRADITION

�P almieri Furniture has handcrafted library furnishings

of enduring quality and superior workmanship for more

than 35 years. We recognize that, in order to carry

this tradition into the future, we must consider the

sustainability of the forest products we use.

As a Forest Stewardship Council certified manufacturer,

we’ve been entrusted in a chain of custody that ensures

our products originate from well-managed forests. Now

we’ve expanded our selection of eco-friendly product

offerings even further by utilizing a unique, responsibly

grown premium hardwood: Lyptus®.

W H AT I S LY P T U S ®?

�A hybrid of two eucalyptus species, Lyptus® exhibits the

density of maple and the appearance of mahogany. But

unlike these premium hardwoods, which take decades to

reach maturity, Lyptus® can be harvested in just 14 to 16

years. This is because the wood thrives in the warm

climate of Brazil, where it is plantation-grown among

reintroduced indigenous trees to preserve the natural

habitat. For these reasons, Lyptus® wood represents a

fully sustainable and renewable resource. It allows our

industry to meet the demand without depleting the

supply… or sacrificing quality.

I N T R O D U C I N G V I S TA

�T he outstanding workability and luxuriant hue of

Lyptus® wood has inspired the creation of an entirely

new Palmieri collection: Vista. The collection’s premiere

piece, the rectangular table, unites a contemporary,

streamlined design with traditional Old World

handcraftsmanship.

The Vista table’s work surface is comprised of durable,

high-pressure plastic laminate and bordered with an

eased, solid 2” edgeband. The edgeband’s underside

receives a solid 2” trim piece detail, inset 1” from the

edge. Bolstered by the legs, the trim piece conceals the

table’s mechanical assembly.

A pair of routed details at the top and one at the bottom

of each square leg creates an elegant profile. Made of

solid, 2-3/8” hardwood, the legs accept two horizontal

rails along the short sides of the table. In a design detail

reminiscent of the Mission style, these rails buttress 8

quadralinear posts. Braced between the two lower rails is

a solid rectangular stretcher, which completes the table’s

robust, yet balanced, silhouette.

Lyptus® wood receives commonly

used stains and finishes well. With a

rich, red tone that rivals that of

mahogany or cherry, natural

Lyptus® wood is striking when

finished with clear premium

lacquer, as shown here.
