In January, Dupont Corian® introduced nine new colour
surfaces as part of their 2013 Corian collection. The new colours fall into
three main colour trends: Raw, Interference, and Solidify.
“Corian is upping their game in the countertop market with
the introduction of nine new colours that are inspired by today’s elemental
trends, says Monarch designer Marion Cuddie. “My favourite in this new
collection is Seafoam. With its barely there hint of azure under a detail of a
frothy wave top, it would be a perfect compliment in a soothing spa en suite.”
From Dupont:
The Corian®
Trends: RAW
Raw represents honest luxury, and the fresh hues that
follow this trend embody comfort in a down-to-earth aesthetic that offers a
respite from daily realities. Here, organic, yet polished effects are
blended to celebrate the natural world and emulate plant materials and other
natural fibers that are encased in transparency.
In the Corian® colors Whipped Cream and Seafoam,
soft wheat, butters, lush and heritage greens are highlighted with optic tinted
whites, metallic and pearl effects that echo natural surroundings. Colors work
together in gradients, reflecting nature’s variation, offering a retreat into
the woods, an escape into the environment.
The Corian®
Trends: INTERFERENCE
Interference explores the lure of semi-precious stones,
with a feeling of sparkle and glamour, yet with an understated opulence that
conveys mystical and organic luxury. Bronze is a key metallic shade and
when juxtaposed with subtle finishes and earthy textures, reflects the warm
tints of raw sienna and terra cotta.
In the Corian® colors Pebble and Desert,
rich warm browns that lend an aura of comfort to our surroundings are given a
subtle shimmer and color variation. Rose marbles, granites with mica, copper
and gold flakes are suspended in a semi-transparent focus.
The Corian®
Trends: SOLIDIFY
Solidify was inspired by global climatic changes and
how our high-tension atmosphere can create crystallized and frosted
solids. The cool tones of this trend are misted and sensorial, as melded
metal and mirrored flecks are set within frosted solids for depth and dimension.
The surfaces are fractured and scattered fragments are fused, creating delicate
and ethereal patterns that bring a softly opulent edge to these hard
surfaces.
In the Corian® colors Deep Sea and Luna
White, Stardust and Mineral, the smokiest of lilacs and
blues allow space to focus after the dust has settled, bringing sophisticated
aesthetics to the forefront. Shadowy ripples with subtle movement enrich
the inherent authenticity of Corian®.
