28th March 2019 | IN PRODUCT NEWS | BY SBID ShareTweetPinterestLinkedInOne of the most important considerations to make as a designer when specifying interior products for your projects is flexibility. This month, we take a further look into bespoke design elements which can be custom-made to suit individual projects; as well product lines that offer flexible installation, colour and design options to ensure the interior vision comes together, whether you’re designing for high-end residential or commercial office spaces. From bespoke surface solutions and wall coverings designed with health and wellbeing in mind, to the art of meticulously hand-crafted glassmaking. James Latham expands its solid surface offering to include the Avonite® and STUDIO Collection® brands Designed and developed in the US by Aristech Surfaces LLC, these latest additions compliment perfectly Latham’s existing added-value product portfolio which has been developed with the specification market in mind. With 65 striking colours in the range, Avonite® is the only product in the solid surface market made with a double-belt technology and a thermal cure, ensuring a series of benefits including: versatile product width, impeccable colour consistency and a better manufacturing precision with narrower thickness tolerance and eco-friendly manufacturing. It is used in architectural and design applications across numerous sectors including hospitality, retail, education, government, transportation, public and living spaces, healthcare and commercial workspace. The STUDIO Collection® is a translucent, customisable ‘patented composite blend’, with 29 attractive designs in nine decorative colour groups: Venato, Recycled, Movement, Crystelles, Sea Glass, Element, Glass, Metallics and Petals. Most of these groups can be backlit with dramatic effect and are therefore perfectly suited for prestigious and high-impact applications for example reception desks and sales counters within retail or hospitality environments.
