The highly anticipated EGGER Decorative Collection 26+ certainly doesn’t disappoint. For the first time, EGGER is working to a two-year rolling collection concept, giving the company valuable agility with which to respond quickly and flexibly to trend developments and evolving market conditions. Equally, all new introductions remain in the product range for at least four years, giving valuable planning security.
The collection has been presented under the theme of “Space for solutions”, and includes – amongst others – new uni colours, linear Italian-style woods, additions to the colour range of PerfectSense Matt surfaces, the new repeatless decor H1316 ST17 Bookmatch Oak for authentic wood reproductions, and a new matt all-over wood texture.
Visual harmony
Highlights of the updated collection are decor innovations in the trend beige colour range, and wood reproductions in linear Italian design. The enduring white trend was followed by black, and now by beige; a light colour that meets the need for warmth and visual harmony.
Warm beige can tie in many materials. In light colour gradations, it creates harmonious contrasts that contribute to the feel-good character of a space. Unlike white, beige goes well with almost any other colour, thanks to its balanced neutrality.
When beige replaces bright white, it is contrasted by warm brown tones. However, these are not one-tone, but appear as elegant and calm woodgrains in the Italian style, adding a natural accent to interior designs.
After a period of more rustic woods, EGGER is presenting a balanced mix of natural, elegant and simple designs in the Decorative Collection 26+.
Matt aesthetics
Matt surfaces are an integral part of modern interior design. EGGER has expanded its range of PerfectSense lacquered products to include decors and optimised innovative product solutions for the straightforward design and realisation of matt and high-quality room concepts.
In the Decorative Collection 26+, EGGER is improving the surface quality of its matt lacquered uni colours on a chipboard core. The previous TM9 PerfectSense Smoothtouch Matt is now TM PerfectSense Matt. EGGER is also offering a decor and material combination of unrivalled quality between the PerfectSense Matt on MDF core board, chipboard core, and laminate.
PerfectSense Ambiance is the latest EGGER innovation in the PerfectSense product range. The matt-gloss effect is what sets it apart, emphasised by synchronised texture depths. The high degree of authenticity in the material reproduction is achieved by matching it to the respective decor.
The F199 Black Ambiance Marble version has a super-matt surface that is enhanced by sophisticated gold vein inclusions. In the decors F128 Black Ambiance Granite and F129 Beige Ambiance Granite, glossy areas are combined with a velvety matt surface. The perfect coordination of the partial gloss effects with the decor image of the stone reproductions creates a synchronised look, as well as a unique experience through look and feel.
All matt and matt-textured PerfectSense surfaces have an anti-fingerprint property. This makes the matt trend not only visually appealing, but also functional in use.
Impressive surfaces
With the new repeatless decor, EGGER sets new standards in the reproduction of natural wood effects for large-area applications. The new H1316 ST17 Bookmatch Oak shows character without repetition over the entire length of 2,800 mm and width of 2,070 mm, something that could previously only be achieved with veneer.
Traditionally, wood is split into thin layers to achieve this pattern. Veneers are joined together, butt to butt, by hand. This creates the so-called bookmatch effect. With a unique look, authenticity, versatility and innovative design possibilities, EGGER is redefining the future of wood reproductions.
The repeatless decor was in fact honoured with the Red Dot Award 2025 for “High Design Quality” and with the interzum Award 2025 for “High Product Quality”.
In combination with the new, matt surface, ST17 Omnipore Oiled, an authentic look is created that is close to the appearance of oiled real wood. It is the latest generation of an irregular all-over wood pore. Its special feature is that it has a very low gloss level, whereby the pore also appears matt.
