Versatility that creates design freedom
What makes the DST-System special
One design language. Multiple technical solutions.

The Pfleiderer DST-System combines design consistency with technical flexibility: decors and surface textures can be individually combined with different core materials, enabling a consistent design across a wide range of applications.
This means that technical requirements determine the material, but not the design. For architects, designers and fabricators, this provides maximum design freedom and suitable material solutions for virtually any concept.
How the DST-System works
Three components, many possibilities
D = Decor S = Surface texture T = Core technology
The basic principle:
Ein gewünschtes Dekor wird mit einer geeigneten Oberflächenstruktur und dem benötigten Trägerwerkstoff kombiniert.
The result:
The same surface design can be used throughout, while the product solution is tailored to the application, level of use and technical requirements.
Typical applications



Wherever colour and design concepts meet different functional requirements, the DST-System comes into its own. It enables sophisticated designs to be implemented consistently in:
- Furniture and bespoke fitted elements
- Interior wall and ceiling cladding
- Doors and functional building elements
- Counters, reception areas and retail spaces
- Contract interiors for education, retail and hospitality
- Furniture and interior fit-out for healthcare and care facilities

Find the right DST combination in just a few steps

1. Check the application:
Clarify the installation situation, function, format and processing requirements
2. D for Decor:
Define the look and design character
A coordinated colour and design language throughout
Uni colours and wood, stone and material reproductions offer a wide range of design possibilities. For example, use the same decor across different applications to bring furniture, doors, walls and built-in elements together into a harmonious overall concept.
3. S for Surface texture:
Select the desired surface finish and take the recommended use into account
Shape the look and feel with precision
Surface textures give decorative wood-based panels their distinctive character. Fine, matt, pronounced or deeply embossed: select the visual and tactile quality to suit the decor and the desired impact of the space.
4. T for Core technology and product:
Select the right product based on technical and economic requirements as well as relevant environmental information.
The right foundation for a wide range of applications
The core technology gives the product its technical and structural properties. Choose materials with direct lamination or an HPL surface to tailor your material solution to technical and economic requirements as well as defined environmental criteria.
Tailored solutions for your project
With the DST system, you can create consistent design concepts across a wide range of applications. The available and suitable combinations of decor, texture and core material depend on the specific technical requirements and intended application.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about the DST-System
What does DST stand for at Pfleiderer?
DST stands for Decor, Surface texture and Core technology.
The flexible combination of these three components creates application-specific material solutions for consistent design concepts in furniture and interior fit-out.
How does the DST-System differ from a conventional decor match?
While a conventional decor match makes one decor available across different products, the DST-System goes one step further: it enables decors and surface textures to be flexibly combined with different core materials within a consistent design concept.
This makes it possible to create moisture-resistant, highly abrasion-resistant or flame-retardant solutions, for example, without compromising on a consistent appearance.
What types of projects is the DST-System suitable for?
The DST-System is particularly suitable for furniture and interior fit-out projects that require a consistent design language across different applications, for example in:
Why is the Pfleiderer DST-System particularly relevant for architects, interior designers and fabricators?
Contract interiors, furniture and interior fit-out often involve different functional requirements. The DST-System nevertheless enables consistent design across different applications: the decor and surface texture remain the same, while the material can be selected to suit each area of use.
This creates design freedom, supports material planning and ensures a harmonious overall result.
What role does HPL play in the DST-System?
Within the DST-System, HPL solutions are used wherever particularly robust and durable decorative surfaces are required. Combined with directly laminated boards in the same decor and surface texture, HPL solutions support a consistent design concept.
What does the DST-System look like in practice?
The DST-System provides the basis for consistent material and design concepts in furniture and interior fit-out. This means that matching decor and surface texture combinations can be used across different product solutions. The look and feel remain consistent, while the material solutions can be tailored to the technical requirements of each area of use.
A practical example:
An interior designer selects the decor R20021 Lindberg Oakin the NW Natural Wood surface texture. The products are then selected for each application according to the relevant requirements:
| Anwendung | Anforderung | Produktlösung |
| Furniture | cost-effective, core made from 100% recycled wood | DecoBoard P2 |
| Doors | impact-resistant and designed for heavy-duty use | Duropal HPL |
| Wall cladding | robust, flame-retardant | |
| Reception counter | heavy-duty surface | Duropal Worktop Quadra P2 |
The result: a consistent design language featuring the Lindberg Oak decor and Natural Wood surface texture, combined with the right material solution for every application.
