About us
The story of Bester Studio is one of passion, determination, and family tradition that began back in 1968 in the small town of Kosina. That’s when Stanisław Bester, an enthusiastic carpenter, decided to open his own furniture workshop.

In the beginning, production was modest — just a few chair and sofa bed frames per month, crafted in part of a wooden house. Thanks to machines built by hand, such as a planer and a milling machine, Stanisław gradually expanded his business. Everything changed in 1994, when Stanisław’s brother, Wiesław Bester, joined the family business and commissioned the first plywood components for school chairs. This was a pivotal moment that set the company on a new path — specializing in plywood processing. The years 2001–2012 marked a period of dynamic growth.
In 2018, the Bester Studio brand was established, focusing on the production of 3D decorative panels made from bent plywood. By combining tradition with Scandinavian style, Bester Studio gained recognition both in Poland and abroad, offering top-quality products that merge aesthetics with functionality.
We show how a passion for wood and a constant pursuit of perfection can transform a small workshop into a thriving company whose products enhance interiors around the world. Today, Bester Studio is synonymous with innovation and artisanal precision, and our panels are not just decorative elements — they are a reflection of artistic vision.
Professionalism and attention to detail
Production process
Bester Studio panels are created with respect for the environment and crafted by many skilled hands — from a beech log to the finished decorative product. The production process is a harmonious blend of advanced technology and artisanal precision, resulting in products of exceptional quality and aesthetics.
Raw material sourcing
The production begins with the careful selection of wood, primarily beech, sourced from sustainably managed forests in the western Carpathians. This wood is known for its excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties, making it the ideal material for producing profiled plywood and, subsequently, 3D panels.
Peeling and drying
Selected beech logs undergo rotary peeling, which allows for optimal use of the raw material. The thin wood veneers obtained in this stage are placed in a roller dryer, where within minutes their moisture content drops to 6–10%. They are then conditioned for about 48 hours.
Gluing and forming
Using the right pressure and temperature, we shape our products as desired. For this purpose, we use presses heated with hot water and high-frequency currents, which bond the veneers with urea-formaldehyde resin.
Processing and finishing
After forming, each panel undergoes CNC and manual woodworking. Skilled craftsmen sand the edges, ensuring smoothness and visual appeal. The panels are then impregnated and painted to enhance the natural beauty of the wood while increasing their durability and resistance to external factors.
Quality control and packaging
Each panel is thoroughly inspected for quality and compliance with established standards. Once approved, the panels are carefully packaged to ensure safe delivery to the customer.
Awards and distinctions
Certificates
Our products are FSC certified, which confirms that the wood used in their production comes from sustainably managed forests. Respect for the environment is our priority, which is why we carefully oversee every stage of the production process to minimize its impact on nature. By choosing our panels, you support responsible management of natural resources and contribute to the protection of forests for future generations.
