Thirteen trend-forward surfaces balance modern minimalism with biophilic materials and contemporary stone classics
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Formica Corporation announces the launch of its 2024 Living Impressions™ Collection featuring a harmonious blend of luxe pattern and color. This rich array of sophisticated surfaces draws inspiration from three emerging design trends, resulting in seven elevated large-scale 180fx® stone patterns and six Formica® Laminate patterns.
The new residential surface collection was created on a foundation of trends identified by the Formica Corporation design team:
- Modern Minimalism: Warm whites and minimal patterns that are understated and soft without losing their edge.
- Casually Biophilic: Nature-inspired elements that emulate the healing of the outdoors for indoor spaces.
- Contemporary Classic: Classic stone patterns reimagined with a modern twist.
“We want homeowners to take immense pride in their homes and we believe trend-forward, high-design, beautiful surfaces should be accessible to everyone,” said Gerri Chmiel, senior design manager at Formica Corporation. “Striking the right balance between material costs and design aesthetics is crucial, and the latest Living Impressions™ Collection provides durable, low-maintenance surfaces that empower homeowners and designers to achieve their desired look without compromising their budgets.”
