In the companies section there is an overview of the manufacturers registered on our portal, divided by product category, where you can contact us for any request. 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.

 

In addition, to keep you constantly informed you can also consult our Journal section which contains all the Furnishing Idea magazines dedicated to the furniture and furnishing industry, such as the edition dedicated to Sicam or Interzum, two of the most important trade fairs in the sector.

Solid Surface: the new Terrazzo colours proposed by HI-MACS®.

HI-MACS® is a high quality acrylic stone, a Solid Surface material used in architecture and interior design to create sculptural or extremely linear shapes. HI-MACS® is perfect for any application: facades, wall coverings, bars, worktops, service stations or furnishing surfaces, or bathrooms, washbasins, kitchen worktops.
Always attentive to new design trends, HI-MACS® presents two new refined colours inspired by the Terrazzo style, back in vogue today: Terrazzo Classico and Terrazzo Grigio.
The Terrazzo style owes its origins to the Venetian floors of the 18th century, but it was in the 1920s that it enjoyed the greatest popularity.  Its graphic design, characterized by the contrast of the dotted, imperfect and asymmetrical pattern, has evolved over time to become the abstract pattern particularly appreciated today. More and more often, in fact, the Terrazzo style is used by architects and designers to create floor and wall coverings for both residential and commercial interiors.

 

Two new colours inspired by the Terrazzo style


HI-MACS® Terrazzo, in Classic and Grey versions, enriches the colour range of the latest generation acrylic stone, allowing home owners, designers, architects, builders and planners to adopt this style on surfaces and wall coverings. Extremely versatile, Solid Surface HI-MACS® Terrazzo can in fact be used for residential, commercial or public projects of any surface or style, and is particularly suitable for busy spaces such as restaurants, shops and bars as well as for the creation of worktops for kitchens and bathroom furnishings. The two new HI-MACS® Terrazzo colours blend harmoniously into any environment: Terrazzo Classico is characterised by its neutral tones, while Terrazzo Grigio is inspired by the industrial mood.
Made with a mix of minerals, pure acrylic and natural pigments, this Solid Surface material, with its smooth, non-porous texture, is thermoformable, joint-free, hygienic and resistant to time, stains, bacteria and aggressive chemicals.
Almost as sturdy as stone, however, HI-MACS® can be processed just like wood: it can be cut, bevelled, drilled or sanded.
