Formica Infiniti™: Irresistibly touchable super matte antimicrobial surfaces that resist fingerprints

 

Visually striking at first glance, but with state-of-the-art functionality and surprisingly little maintenance required — that is just the beginning with Formica Infiniti™, a game changer in surfacing. As beautiful as it is durable, Formica Infiniti™ features a soft-to-the-touch super matte finish, with fingerprint resistance and built-in antimicrobial surface protection, and thermal healing capabilities. It is available in all standard Formica® Brand colours.

Hardworking Formica Infiniti™ surfacing is right at home in cafes, casual diners and quick-service restaurants, hotels and stores, healthcare, commercial offices or any setting that calls for countertops, tables, doors, partitions, cabinets and furniture.

dECOLeather® Recycled Leather Veneer by Formica Group: Elegant, affordable, sustainable luxury

An eco-friendly product made from recycled leather, new dECOLeather® brings sustainable luxury to interiors by reusing and reinventing a precious resource and making it more affordable. With its deep colours and rich textures, dECOLeather® recycled leather veneer redefines interiors. Available in 18 colours and three richly grained finishes, it channels the distinctive texture of exotic crocodile, the warmth of walrus and the remarkable appearance of wild buffalo.

dECOLeather® brings earthly elegance to interiors, whether it’s used to create a trendy hotel reception desk, a chic cocktail bar, a bank of elevators, or an accent wall in an office or healthcare setting. dECOLeather® creates an appealing aesthetic, providing all the best of leather including the look, feel and smell, with the added benefit of being eco-friendly.
