Formica Group introduces six new patterns to its 180fx Laminate line – the true-to-scale scanning technology that gives homeowners the drama of exotic granites, stones and woodgrains in a large-scale laminate. The six new patterns, include:
Nero Marquina (pictured): A black marble originally from the region of Markina in the north of Spain, it is a fine black marble with crisp white veining, reminiscent of a painter’s brushstroke.
Neapolitan Stone: Created from one of the most premium stones in the world today, Neapolitan Stone features the highest color variation of any granite. Comprised of whites, beiges, blues and warm grays, the pattern emulates the flow of sand on a Mediterranean beach.
Pietra Grafite: The No. 1 favorite of residential designers surveyed by Formica Corp., Pietra Grafite is a soft gray with white veining that is clean with plenty of movement.
Istanbul Marble: A large-scale Turkish marble pattern with sharp, sweeping movement blending light and dark with flashes of rusty gold.
White Knotty Maple: A rustic take on North America’s popular woodgrain, this natural and raw look has authentic visual imperfections.
Smoky Planked Walnut: Emulating the Japanese art of shou sugi ban (burning wood to waterproof it), this charred, wire-brushed woodgrain reveals a distinct, luxe color.
