Capabilities · Forming & Curves

Forming & curves that hold their shape

Doors, walls and cladding bent to a radius and finished as smooth, stable curves.
Overview

A curve is engineered, not coaxed — built in layers so it stays true.

Curves are built, not forced. KENT laminates thin layers over a former (bent lamination), coopers solid timber into smooth radii, and wraps veneer over compound forms with a relief-cut layup so the face follows the shape without telegraphing the substructure. Slat and tambour surfaces add flexible, repeating curves for walls and joinery. Every curved element is engineered to hold its radius through the Gulf's thermal and humidity swings.

Bent lamination over a former
01

Built in layers

Bent lamination glues thin layers over a former; coopering joins shaped solid staves into a radius. Both lock the curve in so it does not spring back or distort.

Slat, tambour & rhythm

For walls and joinery, slat and tambour surfaces deliver curves and movement — flexible runs that wrap columns and reception desks or add quiet rhythm to a flat wall.

FAQ

Questions specifiers ask

How tight a radius is possible?+
It depends on material and thickness; bent lamination and coopering reach tight radii, confirmed per profile.
Will a curve stay true over time?+
Yes — layered construction locks the shape so it resists spring-back and movement in heat and humidity.
Can veneer wrap a compound curve?+
Yes — a relief-cut layup lets the veneer follow compound forms with continuous grain.
