Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, they (''dekor'' things) do all look like veneer but I wonder if it's not a specific type or class of veneer, because why not call them veneer (fornir) otherwise. If it wasn't due soonish I'd phone the manufacturer. I think I need a current Polish furniture store employee ;)

Reference information:
texture
1. the way something feels when touched, eaten etc. the texture of wood, stone, skin etc. faktura
2. the way that a piece of cloth looks or feels, caused by the way in which it is woven. the loose texture of this material. struktura

Faktura – charakterystyczna powierzchnia przedmiotu wynikająca z właściwości fizycznych materiału z którego jest zrobiony oraz sposobu jego obrobienia lub dodatków i zanieczyszczeń wyjściowego materiału.
Może ona być gładka, chropowata, falista, niejednolita, pomarszczona. Często określana jest również poprzez porównania do innych materiałów posiadających ogólnie rozpoznawalną i charakterystyczną fakturę, np. aksamitna, skórzasta, faktura płótna. Zwyczajowo fakturę określa się jako dużą jeżeli znacznie odbiega od gładkiej powierzchni danego materiału.
