Wilsonart Blends Nature with New Quartz and Solid Surface Designs

Versatile Hard Surface Palette Perfect for both Home and Workplace

TEMPLE, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#ExploreNewSurfaces–Technology may be everywhere, but consumers today are still looking for
ways to bring nature into their everyday lives. From bringing plants
indoors to add color, visual texture and cleaner air to choosing
accessories and paint colors with natural themes, nature is top of our
list for making our environments comfortable, calm and aesthetically
pleasing. Wilsonart, the leading manufacturer of engineered surfaces,
introduces new
Quartz and Solid
Surface designs that blend nature’s beauty and look stunning in both
home and commercial settings.

“Nature was the inspiration behind the color palette in Wilsonart’s new
Quartz and Solid Surface offering,” said Paul Mikulencak, Senior Product
Designer, Wilsonart. “These new designs capture the same natural beauty
of granite and marble but with a refined, artistic flawlessness that
works equally well in both residential and commercial environments. They
address the growing desire for corporate workplaces to incorporate a
casual, nature-inspired, home-like design in commercial applications. We
call this Nature Blending.”

The new hard surface designs tap into the color trends of warm and cool
whites, greys and neutrals but also takes advantage of the resurgence of
classic black stone. Several of the new Quartz “inspired-by-nature”
veining patterns were created through robotic technology, making them
unique in the marketplace. The 2018 Quartz and Solid Surface designs
celebrate natural materials through the following 10 new Quartz and
seven new Solid Surface introductions:

Quartz

Marble Falls – a warm white and grey mottled background with
soft, linear veining down the length of the slab.

Rain Shadow – incorporates a cool grey mottled background with soft
white veining throughout the slab.

travels through a mottled grey and white background.

Salar – features a bright white background with small clusters of
