The choice of wood is a key stage in any cabinetmaking project. Much more than just a material, it determines the aesthetics, durability, ease of use and perceived quality of a piece of furniture. Solid wood, technical panels, veneer or marquetry: each solution has its own specific uses.
Wood is at the heart of Agencement Paul Champs' business. Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of wood, manufacturing techniques and usage constraints, our teams can help you select the species best suited to your project.
Why the choice of wood is crucial to your interior design project
A successful interior design project is based on a subtle balance between design, functionality and durability. Wood comes into play at every level: it structures the space, contributes to the atmosphere and guarantees the solidity of the finished product.
The wrong choice can lead to premature wear, warping or a disappointing aesthetic result. Conversely, the right choice of wood will add lasting value to your interior or professional space.
The essential criteria for choosing the right wood
Technical properties
Each species has its own characteristics: mechanical strength, dimensional stability, sensitivity to humidity or temperature variations.
In certain environments (damp rooms, high-traffic areas, professional use), these technical properties are crucial to the durability of the fittings.
Aesthetics
Colour, grain, texture, possible finishes: wood offers an incomparable wealth of aesthetic possibilities.
From light oak with a contemporary look to darker, more refined woods, veneer or marquetry, each choice contributes to creating an atmosphere that is unique and consistent with your identity.
Sustainability
The durability of wood depends on its species, the way it is used and the finishes applied.
The Agencement Paul Champs teams pay particular attention to the selection of quality materials and their protection, to ensure that the fittings are designed to last over time.
The cost
The budget is an integral part of the equation. Solid wood, technical panels or veneer offer alternatives suited to different levels of investment, without compromising on quality when the material is used wisely.
Which wood for which project?
Kitchen and bathroom
These spaces require materials that are resistant to humidity and temperature variations.
Technical panels, combined with wood veneers or specific finishes, combine aesthetics and robustness, while guaranteeing excellent durability.
Here, the spa at the Hôtel Eden Rock in Saint-Barth.
Made-to-measure furniture
For made-to-measure storage units, the choice of wood depends on the use and the desired effect.
Technical panel structures ensure stability and precision, while fronts in veneer or solid wood mouldings add warmth and elegance.
Here, the headquarters of a fashion house.
Professional facilities
In retail outlets, offices and public areas, there are many constraints: resistance, maintenance and brand image.
Agencement Paul Champs favours durable, aesthetic solutions that can withstand intensive use while enhancing the identity of the site.
Here, the reception area at Brest Town Hall.
Decorative projects
For projects with a high aesthetic value, such as decorative panels, signature furniture or layout details, wood becomes a real design element.
Marquetry and veneer offer infinite creative possibilities, playing on contrasts, patterns and materials.
Here, JCDecaux Espace Roland-Garros.
Solid wood, engineered panels: which to choose?
Solid wood seduces with its authenticity and character, but it must be used with discretion.
Technical panels (plywood, MDF, quality particleboard) offer excellent stability and precision, making them particularly suitable for bespoke fittings.
At Agencement Paul Champs, the choice is always made on the basis of use, aesthetic expectations and the technical constraints of the project.
