Down to earth, nature for new Samsung Staron® Solid Surfaces collection.
March 29th, 2010
Samsung Staron® Solid Surfaces’ new Earth Collection was inspired by the warm, calming and neutral tones of nature and earth and has resulted in an additional 13 new hues for the product’s colour palette.
The assortment of colours espouses names connoting delicious flavours and earthen characteristics and range from neutrals to darker, more ambient tonings.
Muted colours include Sanded Noir, a deep natural hue with fine light and dark particulates emulating shades of washed stones beneath a waterfall and Sanded Chestnut with its richness and traces of darker shades.
Pebble Dark Green is a stone-inspired colour featuring fine highlights of a deep, dark mountain-top green.
The slightly contrasting Pebble Limestone on the other hand, captures the natural beauty of limestone and is awash with a mixture of fine and larger particulates while Pebble Seastar is infused with colour elements such as sand intermingled with unexpected nature particles.
Finally, the Aspen colour range comprises a soft palette of shades from Aspen Milk to Aspen Stucco and Aspen Chemise, which take their inspiration from mists, clouds and snow respectively.
The two remaining colour schemes in the Aspen set are Aspen Putty which recreates a sunset aura and hues, and Aspen Lily which has a warmth and softness synonymous with white lily colours to produce a gentle and inviting tone.
The new Earth Collection offers an inspirational palette ascribing to earth and nature with the durability, flexibility and seamlessness that only a premium solid surface can provide.
Staron® is renewable, seamless and non-toxic. It is a safe product that is easy to maintain whilst being kind to the environment.
Sanded Noir and Pebble Seastar are also part of the Staron® Encore Collection which features a guaranteed percentage of recycled content.
Combined with its two remaining and existing colours, Aspen Mine and Aspen Snow, the Encore Collection provides a selection of colours with a guaranteed percentage of recycled content for heightened sustainability in design.
Staron® is an affordably priced, quality solid surface backed by a 10-year Samsung warranty.
