Our portal also has a special catalogues section to allow professionals and operators in the sector to view in a practical way all the catalogues relating to the various products (furniture hardware, upholstery materials, furniture paints, etc.). In addition, to allow easy consultation of the products, our portal has reserved a product section, organized by categories, where you can find out about the technical characteristics, materials and functionality of each product. The video section, on the other hand, presents numerous video interviews given by professionals and manufacturers that report news, insights and informative content on the best technologies in the sector.

Solid Surface HIMACS: fifteen new shades in the name of sustainability

The rich color range of HIMACS, the Solid Surface conceived and produced by LX Hausys, is enriched with fifteen new shades designed to meet the needs of architecture and interior design, offering designers an even wider variety of color possibilities. Many of these new 2026 colors are also characterized by their SCS-certified pre-consumer recycled content, confirming the brand's focus on sustainable solutions.

 

HIMACS, aesthetics and practicality

Five new shades expand the Terrazzo collection, three Calacatta shades highlight the timeless elegance of marble, two elegant greens join the HIMACS Solids family, three delicate hues enrich the HIMACS Aurora collection and finally the new refined white shade HIMACS Perna White: all these new colors give depth and character to spaces, combining aesthetics with the practical advantages of this Solid Surface, which is non-porous and thermoformable.

 

HIMACS Terrazzo, five new shades

The Terrazzo collection is enriched with five new colors that suit any contract or residential environment. The surface is speckled with chips of different sizes that create a refined material effect. Four of the new colors in this line contain SCS-certified pre-consumer recycled material and are particularly suitable for high-traffic environments.

Increasingly on trend in interior design, shades of green bring a sense of harmony and freshness to spaces. Perfect for elegant decorative applications, Urban Sage, a light and understated green, and Lafayette Green, a darker green, are the two new shades joining the HIMACS Solids family.

 

HIMACS Aurora, delicate hues

Also within the Aurora & Marble collection, we find a delicate green hue like Aurora Sage, while Aurora Pluma and Aurora Nero offer cream and dark tones respectively, both enriched with SCS-certified recycled content. 

Another interesting new shade is Aurora Alps, now available in an extra-large sheet measuring 1520 mm that expands the possibilities for application and fabrication.
