Solid Surface materials like Corian can be used for more than just flat countertops. Designers appreciate that it can be molded into complex shapes through thermoforming and machining, allowing for unique, sculptural designs. Solid Surface provides designers with almost limitless creative possibilities for abstract lighting fixtures, speakers, inlays, and other applications beyond traditional surfaces. To get involved in this type of specialized Solid Surface work, fabricators need to invest in CNC machines, ovens, and software while finding architects, designers, and shops interested in more experimental uses of the material.

As designers look for different and unique designs, many surfaces become, well, just flat. Solid Surface is more than just a flat surface
Solid Surface is more than just a flat surface.
What Designers are saying. . First of all, the material, especially Corian, has an emotional impact on the user," "It has a silky look but is hard when touched and this irony excites me. Also, it is like dough to shape. You are free to give it almost any form — you can thermoform it like plastic and then chip it like stone." ÌýDemet Billici - Designer
Alex Vitet In my opinion, what makes Solid Surface really interesting/fascinating to work with is the way you can work with it. There is almost no limitation in terms of forms which gives you a huge field in term’s of creativity.
Alex Vitet In my knowledge it is THE material which allows you the best way to manage straight lines vs. curves during the fabrication process.
