DuPont™ Corian® offered many of the appropriate properties for this project as not only can its ingenious versatility adapt to advanced techniques such as digital sublimation printing, but it also performs in application to the highest standards. Naturally strong, stain-resistant and easy to care for, DuPont™ Corian® requires no sealants or treatments and is easily cleaned and maintained. However, should any accidental damage occur, the material can also be restored to full beauty, rather than be replaced or discarded.

While its adaptability allows designers valuable aesthetic freedom, DuPont™ Corian® also offers proven reliability in function and has independent certification such as the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Green Building Rating System, ISO 14025 Green Choice, Ecospecifier, plus LGA hygiene certification as well as GreenGuard® confirmation for having no negative impact on indoor air quality.

Ben Rainger of the project architect’s Keppie Design comments, “We selected DuPont™ Corian® for the reception desk because of the malleability and strength of the material to form the desk as a single object. Applying the thistle pattern as a seamless part of the desk allowed us to realise the interior concept that is picked up throughout the building.”

Wagstaff Interiors Group, the UK’s largest furniture dealership, was chosen as Keppie’s furniture partner for this project due to their experience of dealing with complex, bespoke pieces made with DuPont™ Corian®. Ross Gladwin, Sales Manager at Wagstaff says “The results achieved with DuPont™ Corian® in this project were simply stunning. Working with specialist fabricator Interior Surfaces Ltd, we manufactured the bespoke desk according to the exacting designs provided by Keppie. The complex design required precision craftsmanship and installation, which has become a speciality of ours in recent years.”
