INTERIORS & INTERIOR DESIGN Introducing Aria: The New Iconic Surface Formica Group releases a bold new range for sophisticated kitchens Aria™ is the latest innovative surface from iconic manufacturer Formica Group. Developed to be the ideal alternative to natural and engineered stone, it is aesthetically faithful to its real life counterparts. It combines the beauty of natural materials with a highly engineered development process; an elegant, hard-wearing solid core enabling aspirational homeowners to create the kitchen they’ve always dreamed of, providing a generous lifespan of luxury. There are three colour ranges to transform any kitchen space – natural whites, cool greys and modern blacks – while classic designs incorporate marble veining, granite textures and engineered stone patterns. Versatile and striking, Aria presents a premium look for kitchens that both delights and fascinates. Aria is available in a choice of 15 refined styles along with five exquisite finishes that fulfil contemporary consumer trends, including the passion for mixed textures and tones, and the growing desire for bolder design choices. The cutting-edge range encourages the modern kitchen owner to create more beautiful spaces by adding an element of pure luxury. Aria was conceived and developed as a true alternative to natural and engineered stone. Without compromising on the aesthetic and finish, it offers better durability and ease of maintenance than the traditional materials it is inspired by. Its solid one-piece construction gives it superior performance, which, along with its non-porous and hygienic properties, make it ideal for high- usage consumer applications. Aria can also be cut on site and installed using standard tools, saving on precious time and costs. This gorgeous surface is manufactured in ultra-slim 12mm or classic 20mm thicknesses, gracefully complementing any traditional or modern kitchen design. With a solid colour core and waterproof structure, Aria worktops allow for the installation of under-mounted sinks or a focal- point island with a cascading waterfall effect, as well as incorporation of drainage grooves. Formica Group’s enduring philosophy is to create products that are a design statement and high performing yet require little maintenance. Aria has been specially designed to meet the current consumer demand for sleek kitchens with alluring visual appeal that provide world-class durability and outstanding value. Available at your local IDS or participating showrooms, Aria is the inspiration that the forward-thinking kitchen owner of today needs.
