Formica Group has introduced new patterns and woodgrain designs to its Formica Laminate portfolio. The latest rollout features eight new woodgrains and six new patterns, catering to a wide range of commercial and residential spaces. These high-pressure laminates are engineered for durability and style while providing broad applicability from casework and furniture to feature walls and cabinetry.
Woodgrains
- Natural White Oak: A dense hardwood, white oak is a standard for architectural applications. A flat-cut white oak, also known as plain sliced or crown cut, is a popular choice for furniture-making.
- Fumed Maple and Silver Maple: A hard and dense wood, maple is commonly used for interiors and furniture. A fine smooth surface with an elegant layout, the new Maple series is a plain or flat-cut veneer enhanced with pearlescent highlights to reflect light for realism.
- Brun Refined Hickory and Natural Refined Hickory: Hickory is a durable hardwood with delicate details and a narrow cathedral grain pattern, making it well-proportioned for furniture.
- Coco Tamarind: A distinctive wood grown in tropical and subtropical regions, tamarind features a wavy interlocked grain pattern—an exotic yet usable, rare wood aesthetic with a linear red-brown stain.
- Ash Riftwood and Natural Riftwood: Riftwood is a classic usable reconstituted wood visual, perfect for furniture across a variety of commercial segments. These new tones provide on-trend lighter options to the Riftwood family.
Patterns
- Limed Siltstone and Flint Siltstone: Siltstone is a fine sediment composed of small gravel and mineral particles, and makes concrete more interesting, similar to terrazzo. The natural details of these refined patterns make them ideal substitutes for classic speckle or dot patterns.
- Palma Fabric and Sisal Fabric: A naturalized linen look, these new Fabric colors feature a cross-weave layout of neutral backgrounds enhanced with whitened threads.
- Raw Cloth and Pampas Cloth: A “broken twill” weave, these Cloth designs have a subtle herringbone pattern combined with a linear quality.
