The innovation in tables, desks, chairs, shelving, bookcases is represented by the material: pressed and stratified cardboard that simulated wood, the production of this new material which was given the name BUXUS is by the Turin company FLIP. Buxus was painted like wood with yellow or green colored anilines.
