Discover with Filippi 1971 why choosing ultralight panels and materials for making furniture and structures for campers and caravans is essential. Those who design and build campers and caravans know how crucial it is to reduce vehicle weight without compromising safety, strength, and functionality.
Filippi 1971 supplies high-quality coated panels for the construction of recreational vehicles, combining artisanal tradition and technological innovation. Thanks to an advanced R&D department, we offer solutions designed to optimize performance, comfort, and design.

What wood to use for camper furniture? Choose lightweight materials

In camper and caravan construction, choosing the right wood materials means combining lightness, resistance, aesthetics, and sustainability. Filippi 1971 proposes solutions studied to lighten vehicles without reducing robustness, using wood from certified supply chains and innovative processes that reduce waste and respect the environment.
Among the main wood panels available for recreational vehicles, we offer:

  • Poplar Plywood

It represents the core of Filippi 1971 solutions. Lightweight, stable, and resistant, it is perfect for making panels, walls, ceilings, and floors. Its versatility allows for complex processing and quality finishes, ensuring an ideal balance between aesthetics and functionality. It also offers extraordinary resistance to impact, ideal for the stresses recreational vehicles are subjected to.

  • Wood Sandwich Panels

Sandwich panels with a wood core allow the vehicle structure to be lightened without sacrificing robustness. Thanks to their layered composition, they offer excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties, reducing heat dispersion and external noise. They are perfect for customizable walls, ceilings, and internal components, allowing manufacturers to optimize space, weight, and comfort.

  • Laminated Panels

Our coated panels combine lightness and strength, enabling the creation of durable, aesthetically refined, and easily customizable surfaces for furniture, floors, walls, and ceilings. Thanks to digital printing, unique decorative elements can be created that reproduce precious wood essences or particular materials, offering camper and caravan builders flexible and innovative solutions.

  • HPL and Compact Laminates

Our HPL Laminates are high-pressure panels, ideal for both exterior surfaces and internal furnishings of recreational vehicles. They offer a winning combination of mechanical resistance, durability, and lightness, protecting surfaces from scratches, impacts, and daily wear. Their structure allows for simple and quick cleaning, which is essential for keeping interiors tidy.

Accessories and useful items

Whether it’s a camper for family adventures or a caravan for romantic trips, every project is unique and reflects the taste and style of the user.
At Filippi 1971, we design custom-made wood furniture and accessories, created to maximize space, ensure solidity, and minimize total weight.
The use of lightweight wood panels for RV allows for the development of functional solutions ranging from shower columns, separator panels, and modular furniture, to small tables, folding chairs, and personalized design elements, combining aesthetics and comfort in every part of the vehicle.
Each component is made with high-quality materials and precise processing, meeting the needs of manufacturers most attentive to vehicle lightness and durability.

Floors and coverings: Lightness not only in furniture

A carefully designed floor combines solidity and lightness. The structure can be made of lightweight solid wood or by using composite panels, with an insulating layer that optimizes both thermal and acoustic comfort. The combined use of poplar and innovative materials helps to contain weight and consumption without compromising safety and comfort.
