New deep, rich and more durable DuPont™ Corian® solid surface colors featuring Corian® Deep Color™ Technology will be showcased at the Kitchen and Bath Industry Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. DuPont Building Innovations also will feature new wireless charging technology for smartphones integrated into DuPont™ Corian® solid surface, a product of DuPont’s participation in the Power Matters Alliance.
“Whether we’re introducing new, trendsetting colors or never-before-seen aesthetics, innovation is at the heart of all that we do at DuPont Surfaces.”
HGTV personality and DuPont™ Corian® Color Consultant David Bromstad will talk about the new colors when he visits the DuPont™ Corian® and Zodiaq® booth on Tuesday morning and Wednesday afternoon.
Mystera was the first solid surface product, developed in mid-1990’s, to successfully emulate the look of natural quarried stone with the use of multi-colored, multi-directional, swirls and veining, in addition to traditional inclusion of large and small particulates. This set in motion a new look for the solid surface industry, with many brands following their lead.
Today, Mystera is back and better than ever!
With the re-introduction of Mystera you’ll benefit from higher performance standards and new contemporary styles, at very competitive prices.
Formica Corporation, a global leader in surfacing design and innovation, has introduced 13 new Formica solid surfacing patterns, adding a new range of quartz-like patterns and some contemporary shimmer to the brand’s collection of smooth, seamless and nonporous solid surfacing products.
“We first introduced the Colorbox concept in 2010 to visually demonstrate how different surfacing materials, colors, textures and patterns can work together in commercial interiors”
Formica Corporation’s design team styled the latest patterns to coordinate with a variety of Formica® brand surfacing products, a concept dubbed Colorbox. “We first introduced the Colorbox concept in 2010 to visually demonstrate how different surfacing materials, colors, textures and patterns can work together in commercial interiors,” said Gerri Chmiel, Formica Corporation’s senior design manager. “The Colorbox concept allows the architecture and design community to confidently pair Formica® Solid Surfacing products with complementary high pressure laminate offerings.”
The 2013 Formica® Solid Surfacing introduction includes:
Luna – A small-scale, usable quartz-like pattern available in a full color range to coordinate with the brand’s recent high pressure laminate introductions.
Quartz – A larger-scale, quartz-like pattern with metallic particulates for added shimmer and depth.
Sparkle – Subtle, reflective white and gray architectural colors provide a contemporary alternative to basic solids.
Travertine – Softly patterned Noce Travertine remains a staple in commercial and residential interiors alike, but the softness of the stone renders it difficult to use on horizontal surfaces. Noce Travertine offers the look of real travertine, with the durability of Formica® Solid Surfacing.
Mirage – Tried and true speckled pattern introduced in new trend color of gray; rust brown warms the overall color
Chmiel revealed that the practice of mixing and matching of materials in commercial settings plays an important role in the company’s product development process. “One project incorporates countless surfacing materials, and we strive to introduce trend-forward, usable products that are desirable on their own, yet work well in unison to help designers achieve a desired design aesthetic. The usability and compatibility of these 13 new patterns underscores our commitment of being a design resource for our customers.”
Formica® Solid Surfacing is GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality Certified® by the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute under the GREENGUARD Standard for Low-Emitting Products, including the requirements for Children & Schools.
Founded in 1913, Formica Corporation, part of the Formica Group of companies, is a leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of innovative surfacing products for commercial and residential applications.
