Balmain Residence – ‘Sorrento’

Australian owned and operated since 1962, NAV is committed to innovating the way Australians design functional and beautiful spaces in the workplace and community, and in the home.

Owner, Kevin Kelly, has always had a passion for timber veneers. Over the years, he has transitioned NAV’s products from the traditional methods of veneer manufacturing to technologically advanced, pre-finished, wood grain effect veneers.

Being environmentally responsible is a big deal to Kevin and his team. Raw, timber materials are ethically sourced from sustainably managed forests (and always have been).

NAV’s expertise lies in engineering real timber into cutting-edge veneer products that offer durability, longevity, design flexibility and a wood grain detail that evokes a kinaesthetic experience.

Partnering with architects, interior designers and builders, NAV was founded on a premise of introducing the Australian building industry to technically advanced premium veneer surfaces.

A lot has changed since the 80s, but NAV’s mission – to be ahead of the curve in premium surface engineering and design – remains steadfast.
