# Veneer Panel Surfaces Decospan Introduces Shinnoki Prefinished Wood Panel Collection By Amy Duong | Published 2026-05-14 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shinnoki References: [decospan](https://www.decospan.com/en-gb/shinnoki/collection/terra-sapele/s4-terra-sapele)  Shinnoki Terra Sapele is a prefinished wood veneered panel within Decospan’s Shinnoki collection. The panels are constructed with two layers of wood veneer and an MDF core measuring 18 mm (11/16”) in thickness. The surface is designed as a ready-to-use finish that does not require additional treatment after production. The panels are available in a Terra Sapele look that is part of the collection’s curated range of wood finishes. The Shinnoki system uses a mixmatch veneer technique, where selected wood cuts from different trees are combined to create a consistent surface appearance while retaining [natural variation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-hardwood). Each panel is brushed, stained, and finished with a soft-touch lacquer, producing a prefinished surface suitable for interior applications. The collection is designed for use in [furniture, wall panels, and interior fit-outs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/continuous-linear) across residential and commercial environments, including kitchens, offices, retail, and hospitality spaces.
