– Synthetic Leathers

– PP Fabrics

– Velvet Fabrics

• Synthetic Leathers

Structure: PVC has more layers underneath its coating making it more durable. PU on the other hand has fewer layers and it can even stain and wrinkle. while PVC can stand more extreme wear and weather condition.

Breath-ability: PU leather has the advantage when it comes to being the preferred material for wearable clothing items, but then since it has more pores on its surface, it gives the risk of absorbing stains and other unwanted particles. This is why most upholstery uses PVC leather instead.

Durability: PVC has a multi-layer structure and a lack of pores compared to PU makes the material more durable. This is why it is mostly used in upholstery and footwear.

PP Fabrics offer high-quality, modern interior textile solutions available in a wide range of contemporary colors, making them an excellent choice for sofas, chairs, and decorative furniture. Designed for both style and performance, these fabrics combine visual appeal with everyday durability, ideal for office, commercial, and residential environments.

Polypropylene fibers are known for their resistance to stains, moisture, and fading, ensuring long-lasting appearance even in high-traffic areas. The texture provides comfort while maintaining a clean, structured look that complements modern furniture designs.

Velvet is a luxurious tufted woven textile distinguished by its evenly distributed cut threads and dense pile, creating a rich texture and exceptionally soft feel. Its smooth, plush surface adds depth and elegance to furniture, making it a popular choice for sophisticated interior settings.

The fabric’s subtle sheen enhances color richness and visual appeal, while the dense construction provides comfort and a premium tactile experience. Velvet works beautifully on sofas, lounge chairs, headboards, and decorative elements where style and comfort are equally important.

Our Materials & Colours — Expanded Detailed

INTRODUCTION TO BOARD MATERIALS

At Modern Office Furniture Dubai, we carefully select materials that achieve optimum balance between durability, visual elegance, practical performance, sustainability, and long-term value in real-world office environments. The core material that defines our tabletop surfaces, cabinets, shelving, screens, and partitions is Melamine Face Laminated Board, also known as Melamine Faced Chipboard (MFC). We source all decorative panels from European manufacturers with proven quality standards to ensure consistency, performance, and visual appeal across all product categories.

Melamine Face Laminated Board is complemented by other decorative surface solutions such as Marble-like Face Board and tailored screen panel materials, giving designers and clients the flexibility to craft professional spaces tailored to specific functions, aesthetics, and project specifications.

MELAMINE FACE LAMINATED BOARD — DEEP MATERIAL PROFILE

1. What Is Melamine Face Laminated Board?

At its core, Melamine Face Laminated Board consists of precision-engineered chipboard panels that are laminated on both faces with decorative melamine-impregnated paper under heat and pressure. The chipboard substrate — produced from compressed wood particles and sustainable wood fibres — provides structural stability, while the melamine decorative layer delivers surface properties that are durable, hard-wearing, and visually appealing.

Unlike solid wood or traditional veneers, this engineered panel combines the strength of a core material with the performance characteristics of a laminate surface, providing the ideal solution for modern office furniture.

2. Performance Attributes

Our products are designed to meet real-world demands. Key mechanical and performance characteristics include:

• Abrasion & Scratch Resistance

The decorative surface resists daily wear from writing instruments, office equipment, and repeated surface contact, significantly outperforming untreated wood surfaces in abrasion tests in accordance with EN 14322 scratch resistance standards.

• Impact & Shock Tolerance

Melamine surfaces offer strong resistance against minor impact damage — a critical advantage in busy workspaces where furniture is moved, reconfigured, or bumped during everyday use.

• Moisture & Heat Resilience

While not wholly waterproof, melamine’s surface demonstrates excellent resistance to humidity and incidental moisture, which helps maintain structural integrity and surface finish in office zones exposed to air conditioning, beverage spills, or variable indoor climates.

• Dimensional Stability & Warp Resistance

Unlike solid timber, Melamine Face Laminated Board resists warping, cupping, or shrinkage due to temperature fluctuations or changes in relative humidity, ensuring furniture components remain flat and true throughout their service life.

3. Processing & Fabrication Advantage

One of the core reasons this material is a preferred choice for furniture manufacturers worldwide is its manufacturing flexibility:

• 
  Precision Cutting: Panels can be cut with CNC routers, saws, or automated systems with high accuracy, ensuring tight dimensional tolerances.
  
• 
  Edge Banding: Clean, seamless edges are achieved with a variety of edge materials (ABS, PVC, lacquer, or veneer), providing both protective and aesthetic continuity.
  
• 
  Machining: Hole drilling, groove routing, and inlay processing are easily accomplished without compromising material integrity — allowing custom fittings, connectors, and assembly hardware.
  
• 
  Fast Assembly: Panels join accurately for products such as desks, shelving, partitions, and workstations — shortening production cycles and improving efficiencies.
  

These advantages allow designers to innovate freely without the processing limitations associated with natural wood, solid surface materials, or brittle laminates.

SURFACE TEXTURES & DECOR OPTIONS

A key element of modern design is harmonizing functional performance with visual aesthetics. The melamine surface offers decor options that range from woodgrain effects to contemporary concrete-inspired finishes, providing the same visual richness as natural materials but at a fraction of the cost and maintenance requirements.

1. Authentic Surface Textures

Advanced surface technology enables synchronized pore textures that mimic grain and tactile feel found in real timber surfaces. For instance, Feelwood synchronised pore technology creates a natural grain effect where the surface structure aligns with the printed wood pattern for a convincing natural wood look.

2. Color & Pattern Diversity

Our material palette includes a wide spectrum of finishes, from classic colours like Premium White to rich wood-inspired decors such as Natural Dijon Walnut, Cognac Kendall Oak, and stone-derived textures like Light Grey Chicago Concrete.

Each decor option is carefully selected not only for its aesthetic contribution but also for how it interacts with light, shadow, space perception, and overall spatial coherence in interior design.

ENVIRONMENTAL & SUSTAINABILITY FEATURES

Modern Office Furniture Dubai is committed to responsible material use. Our melamine-faced boards emphasize:

• Recyclability

The chipboard core and decorative melamine surface are fully recyclable at end of life, allowing reuse in composite products and reducing environmental impact associated with landfilling.

• Eco-friendly Production

Material suppliers adhere to sustainable forestry standards and environmentally conscious manufacturing processes that minimize emissions and maximise energy efficiency.

HYGIENE PERFORMANCE — ANTIBACTERIAL SURFACE

One of the standout features of the decorative melamine surface used in Modern Office Furniture Dubai’s products is its antibacterial property — not as an additive, but as an inherent surface characteristic.

How It Works

The hygienically sealed surface of the Decorative Collection significantly suppresses bacterial presence:

• 
  Reduction of bacteria and germs by 99.9% within 24 hours without biologically active additives.
  
• 
  Independent testing using the ISO 22196 / JIS Z 2801 methodology confirms the material’s efficacy and durability.
  
• 
  Certified by the Hohenstein Institute under strict external evaluation protocols.
  

This makes the surface ideal for healthcare-adjacent zones, educational environments, reception desks, shared workstations, and any area with elevated hygiene demands.
