Corian® became a key solution, by surfacing the interactive skin bars and forming both the shelves and the cladding of the backlit display systems. Colours chosen were pristine Glacier White with a Deep Titanium grey trim and the swirling patterns and translucency of new Grey Onyx. “Corian® is the perfect material for realising my designs,” adds Kim. Corian® is distributed in the UK and Ireland exclusively by CD (UK) Ltd.
