Surface Design Awards – Complete

• INTERIOR SURFACE OF THE YEAR - NEW
  This is a new category that recognises wall, floor, ceiling and surface design products, including decorative, creative and inventive surfaces for the interior of buildings including both commercial and residential properties.

Interior surfacing plays a pivotal role in both commercial and residential projects, ranging from kitchen and bathroom worktops to flooring and cladding. With over 20 years of challenging the traditional use of porcelain and continuously innovating to provide guaranteed, reliable surfaces, Laminam has become the global benchmark for superior natural surfaces for use as worktops, architectural and design features.

Whether used horizontally for a sleek and seamless worksurface, tabletop, ceiling or floor, or vertically as cladding for an island or breakfast bar or even as door panels or furniture, Laminam’s superior natural slabs are versatile, stylish and practical.

Exclusively designed in Italy, Laminam’s hero launch for 2023, the Diamond Series, was created to offer a revolutionary, timeless aesthetic to elevate spaces; from residential buildings to hotels, spas, and restaurants. Thanks to their unique look and use of two tactile new finishes, the colours thoroughly enrich and bring a feeling of well-being to the spaces in which they are installed.

Laminam’s R&D department introduced two new finishes to enhance the range of design and artistic possibilities for this four-colour series. The Caress finish brings a feeling of softness and tenderness to the surfaces, with a slightly opaque nature that makes it ideal for delicate and classic combinations. Meanwhile, thanks to a special formula, the new Polished Starlit finish evokes a stardust effect which infuses light into the surfaces, resulting in a gentle sparkle.

Cristallo Gold is a soft and delicate surface, timeless with beige, amber, and gold veining. Laminam captures the refined essence of natural crystal and enhances its patterns on a milky surface. In Cristallo Gold, graphic purity and functional grace come together, giving life to an extremely versatile and modern surface that is perfect for any environment.

Calacatta Black is a refinement of black marble; a precious, intense surface with subtle white veins and warm, soft hints of beige. Extremely elegant, Calacatta Black will enhance any project thanks to the Bocciardato and Polished Starlit surface finishes.

Warranting a wide range of diverse applications, Calacatta Black and Cristallo Gold are available in different formats and thicknesses, and also in a book match pattern. This opens new opportunities for the furniture market, specifically tabletops – the piece of furniture that most living spaces evolve around.

All of Laminam’s surfaces are exceptionally durable, designed to withstand the test of time. Highly resistant to scratches, stains, heat and moisture, their appearance remains the same even after heavy use. Available in ultra-thin profiles, their lightweight construction makes installation easy. They are naturally bacteriostatic for the entire life of the product and hold NSF and MOCA certifications; the former making Laminam’s slabs suitable for direct contact with foods and derived fluids, the latter ensuring compliance with certain mandatory requirements in relation to food hygiene. The large slab options also allow for minimal joins which ensures effortless cleaning and hygiene maintenance, making them an ideal choice for all types of application. These characteristics also make it highly suitable for exterior use, too.

As above

Aside from its impressive product range, Laminam is also committed to sustainability. Its inimitable sustainability credentials also offer peace of mind, thanks to the use of up to 60% recycled materials, 100% of the water used being fed back into the production process, and 95% of raw waste being recovered. The company also pursues sustainable practices in all aspects of its business, and this is reflected in the various certifications it has received. Laminam's latest achievement is the extension of its EPD Certification to all products, demonstrating its unwavering commitment to sustainability. Laminam is also renowned for its involvement in leading architectural projects around the world. This experience has earned the company a privileged partner status for zero-impact projects.
