Decorative Surfaces - New Botanical Colour Palette from Polytec

Botanical inspired colour palettes with polytec

The latest polytec colour release is inspired by human's innate desire to connect with nature and made to mimic sensory and physical elements of the natural environment, otherwise known as biophilia. Biophilic design is essential to increase connectivity with nature, reducing overall stress and increasing wellness. Subliminal biophilia is seen throughout the polytec range of solid, timber-grain and stone prints.

The new colour range is made for the Australian lifestyle, holding perpetual value, and creating a new journey towards sustainable design. Being sustainable is not just about manufacturing, it is important that products have an inherent longevity, with quality and style that withstands the test of time.

Natural material such as timber and stone are inherently linked to joinery, connecting interior spaces with the outdoors. There is a movement towards curved joinery, reflecting natural shapes and textures, along with realistic colouring without the bold, abstract design seen in the past. A conscious effort of paring back to simple colours without excess is being created in the industry, with an importance of surface touch.

The subliminal aspect of the new polytec colours draws on a sense of comfort and familiarity, coupled with natural tones found in nature. The current world climate has created a need to retreat to familiar spaces and styles, and many of the new colours create a nostalgic feel.
