A 1920's family home in Dublin Ireland, gets a modern update with pops of colour from the Formica® Collection. Formica® Laminate is used for the kitchen table, countertops and backsplash of the kitchen plus the interior of the pantry, as well as on the countertops of the vanity units in the bathroom. The laminate colours chosen are in shades of orange and blue, which are picked up in the aggregates of the terrazzo floor. All of the furniture pieces are bespoke, designed by Studio AND and constructed of birch ply.

“We love Formica® Laminate as a material. The interior design draws on hard-wearing materials that support family life in terms of clean-ability and durability.”
