What inspired the new Wilsonart® Solid Surface launch?

Comfort, texture, and thoughtful color selection are all on vivid display in the new Wilsonart® Solid Surface collection. The interior design movement towards more textured surfaces reflects a desire for a sensory experience that engages not just our eyes, but also our sense of touch. Solid Surface makes this possible for resimercial healthcare or office environments that need the scale of commercial design — and the approachability of residential comfort.

Grounded, earthy colors are trending, but white tones have staying power for modern spaces that require Solid Surface. New selections like Cool Basalt, Cannon Beach, Basalt Concrete, Carbone Marmo, and Masoned Concrete all embrace deeper industrial tones that provide richer hues. In contrast, Calacatta Perlato satisfies the traditional desire for an elevated white design, thanks to pearlescent silver-gold veins and a creamy background.

Watch Ben Puffer, Wilsonart’s Senior Designer of Hard Surfaces, lay out each of the new Solid Surface designs in the Wilsonart design studio. Ben breaks down the details — from the translucent veining of Calacatta Perlato to the dense textures of Carbone Marmo — while describing his creative rationale for the overall launch.  

One design launch. Two trend stories. New designs from Wilsonart® Solid Surface were inspired by “Crafted Nature” and “Fresh Fundamentals.” Crafted Nature refers to the influence of natural, elemental design and the intentional re-creation of “soft landscapes” in specific interior spaces. Imagine an office that feels like a multi-functional workspace. Or a reception area complete with translucent surfaces that feel nearly transparent, or less “solid.” Ironic, right? 

A space that embraces Fresh Fundamentals includes clean lines, delicate tones, and a foundational surface like concrete or basalt. In commercial environments, industrial materials are particularly inviting for textured spaces or casual conference rooms. Why extend commotion from the outside world into the spaces where we work, study, and operate? Interior design has returned to fundamental freshness — and Wilsonart® Solid Surface is leading the way.

Use new Wilsonart® Solid Surface in any residential or commercial space. Kitchens, workspaces, bathrooms, bar tops, desks, and tables can all benefit from the perfect combination of seamless engineering and timeless styling. Plus, scratches, gouges, or cracks can be easily renewed and repaired with a Certified Wilsonart Fabricator. Solid Surface is also thermoformable and can be shaped to custom specifications.
