Anigre plain veneer highlights a regular grain and a uniform visual expression, creating a surface that feels balanced and calm. Its naturally light tone, ranging from creamy white to soft beige and sometimes slightly pinkish, enhances the brightness of interior spaces and pairs easily with other materials, whether metallic finishes or darker elements.

Marketed under various names such as anigre, longhi, or white anigre, this species from West and Central Africa experienced significant growth in the European decorative plywood industry during the mid-twentieth century. Its good stability in veneer and its ability to produce consistent, controlled surfaces continue to make it a reference choice today for timeless, understated, and well-structured interior designs.
