In each session, we’ll share a curated collection of insights and inspiration, offering you a glimpse into the research and strategies that drive our commitment to sustainability every day.
We’re constantly seeking innovative new materials. Here are some that have recently caught our team's attention:
A Forest of Colour
Valchromat is a wood fibre panel which is coloured throughout and engineered for high physical performance. The fibres are individually impregnated with organic dyes and chemically bonded by specifically developed resins that give the panels their special properties.
Manufactured in different colours, dimensions and thicknesses.
The paper with superhuman strength Richlite – an incredibly durable material made from something completely unexpected – paper. It’s used by aerospace, extreme sports, marine, food prep and the architecture and design community.
Durat is a vibrant, durable, and silky solid surface material that seamlessly blends recycling with design. Made from post-industrial recycled plastic, it is available in over 300 striking colours, including the RAL Classic Chart and the Palace Collection with shimmering mineral pigments.
Fully recyclable, Durat is perfect for creating seamless surfaces in interior applications and can be renewed, repurposed, or recycled again, ensuring both beauty and sustainability.
