30 Years of Surfaces Shaping Spaces

The vision that started it all

Every great space begins with a surface.

One that sets the tone and defines the atmosphere.

For Stylianos Katsanis, surfaces were never just materials.

They were the backdrop to life’s most meaningful moments, elements that would enhance the way people live, work and connect with their environments.

Guided by this belief, he founded XYLOKAT in 1995 in Thessaloniki with a clear vision: To empower designers with surfaces that transform ordinary spaces into extraordinary environments, enriching lives and elevating human experience.

This vision has driven XYLOKAT’s evolution from a family-run business into a trusted leader in premium surface solutions, relied upon by industry professionals across Europe.

The turning point

Some moments don’t just change a company’s trajectory. They set a new course for an entire industry.

For XYLOKAT, that defining moment arrived in 2010 with the launch of its groundbreaking 3D Textured Panels.

Surfaces were no longer passive elements. Textures responded to light, turning static surfaces into vibrant elements that revealed tactile depth and visual intrigue.

A breakthrough of this scale positioned XYLOKAT among the few European manufacturers capable of producing such distinctive solutions.

Beyond materials: Our impact

XYLOKAT’s surfaces do more than cover walls and furniture. They become part of the spaces where life happens.

They have greeted guests in luxury hotels and given beautiful homes a sense of comfort.

Natural wood’s rich textures and the allure of contemporary finishes unite in surfaces designed to inspire, be seen, felt and experienced.

What comes next?

For three decades, XYLOKAT has pioneered surface design and redefined what’s possible.

And the future promises even more. More innovation. More creativity. More ways to reimagine the spaces we inhabit.

Because at XYLOKAT, we don’t just make surfaces. We shape spaces.

And the best is yet to come.
