Tamburato is a semi-hollow panel with a robust thickness, composed externally of two MDF layers, glued and pressed onto an internal structure, forming a single, solid body.
Also known as honeycomb panel, due to its internal structure, which resembles a honeycomb. It is widely used in the manufacturing of doors and high-end furniture, offering unique strength and durability. Tamburato furniture has an imposing, substantial appearance, but this does not translate into excessive weight: it is lighter than furniture made with solid panels, while offering many other advantages. Tamburato products originated in Italy, and the concept is associated with the word “drum,” referring to something that is semi-hollow yet resistant. The material is widely used not only in Italy, but also throughout several European countries.
In Brazil, Artely has been one of the companies that has invested the most in and promoted Tamburato, and today it is one of the leading manufacturers of this material in the Brazilian market. To ensure its high standards of quality, Artely has been producing its own Tamburato panels since 2007, pioneering the use of this material in living room furniture in Brazil.
All edges of Artely Tamburato are coated with PVC of 1 mm thickness , which guarantees more resistance to impacts and humidity, increasing the durability of the furniture.

Look underneath the top or view the product from different angles; you can notice that the panel is thinner on the inside.
Thickened furniture has a solid “strip” only on the edge of the furniture, giving the false impression that the entire piece is thick.
