Defining the look of laminate
ILLUSION 3D™ - the name says it all.
The architects of the lifestyle label Esprit were immediately drawn to ILLUSION 3D™ by Duropal. The new design with its delicate sheen and fascinating 3D effect defines the look of a new generation of international Esprit flagship stores.
ILLUSION 3D™ is the latest in innovative surface structures by Duropal, gentle waves that create the illusion of depth on a completely smooth surface.

Designer wins award with Duropal kitchen...
With a chef in residence, for this family of keen entertainers and frequent party hosts, functionality and "wow" factor were important.
The design incorporates commercial functionality with a visually interesting aesthetic achieved through a focus on customisation and a blend of openness, integration, suspension and symmetry. An interesting combination of gloss and matte laminate, reconstituted stone, stainless steel, mirror, acrylic and concrete was used to take full advantage of texture, reflection and depth.
The open design allows guests to socialise and engage with the chef without obstructing the food preparation/cooking process. When choosing door and panel treatments Gavin turned to the Duropal range of decorative laminate and board offering unique surface structure and striking decors, thus delivering the "wow" factor that was paramount to the client's specification. So much so that it also wowed the judges, winning Gavin this prestigious design award.

LUMINA™
makes its debut
Designer Mel Spears from the renowned retail design practice IdeaWorks was so impressed with the look, feel and versatility of the new Lumina Rain series that he was quick to find an application for the product.
The recently refurbished suzannegrae fashion store in Charlestown Square is the first of several stores to feature Lumina Icy White Rain to the shopfront facade.
This is what Mel had to say...
"IdeaWorks had been looking for a material with a soft feel but still gave a bold statement that satisfied clients brief of a durable, yet stylish look that offered longevity, Lumina – Icy White Rain answered all these requirements."
