Durat 100-02 at Seemingly Overzealous Ice Cream, The Plaza, Charlotte NC. Installed 2024.

Through-body color is one of those material properties that is easy to say and harder to understand until you see it in context. The color does not sit on top of the slab. It runs all the way through it. Which means no pattern to wear away, no surface to delaminate, and a material that can be sanded and restored rather than replaced when it eventually shows its age.
Non-porous. Seamless. Repairable. Built to hold the energy of a space like this for decades.

High-silica engineered stone is being banned in California. Are your specs ready?

Silicosis cases among fabricators are doubling every 13 months. Courts have already handed down a $17.45M verdict and a $20M settlement. Designers who specify these materials are part of that story.

The quartz crisis is not a materials shortage. It is a materials correction.
The alternatives are out there. Sintered stone. Porcelain slab. Natural stone. Recycled glass surfaces. The right fit depends on the project.

Sustainable materials don't have to look like a compromise.
Three from the CaraGreen portfolio that prove it:
Organoid. Natural botanicals on flax. Real texture, real scent, real biophilic depth.

Koskisen. Finnish baltic birch plywood with natural grain that actually makes a room feel warm. Sustainable without the sterile.
Durat. High recycled content, through-body color. Vivid, repairable, built to last.

Better for the planet. Better for the space.

Nearly 20 years of daily café life. Still looks brand new.

These Durat tables were installed at Café Carusel in Helsinki in 2007. In 2026 they were refurbished back to their original finish. Not replaced. Refurbished.

Because the color goes all the way through, the surface can be restored rather than discarded. That is the permanent interior in practice.

Durat color 250-04.

The best interiors are built before the first piece of furniture arrives.
Material selection is where the permanent interior begins. Not the finish schedule. Not the furniture plan. The surface itself: how it holds color, transmits light, frames a room, and performs over decades.

This month we are looking at the vista. The long view a space holds when the right materials are in place from the start.
Three from our portfolio worth knowing:
Durat solid surface. Non-porous, seamless, and fully repairable. Color runs through the entire slab, so the material looks as considered on day one as it does year ten.
glass2 recycled glass surfaces. Luminous panels and partitions made from recycled glass. Backlit, they transmit light and shift with the day. A surface that is never quite the same twice.
Koskisen Finnish-engineered plywood. Built to exact tolerances. Structural, decorative, and honest about what it is.
These are not trend materials. They are permanent ones.

Great design is meant to be felt.

Introducing Durat 100-52 White, a vivid expansion of our color collection. Standard colors are expertly tinted for Durat, featuring striking multicolour large speckles embedded in a crisp white base. The result is a distinctive, three-dimensional surface that offers a luxuriously silky and warm feeling to the touch.

Whether you are designing a high-traffic hospitality bar or a custom commercial feature, Durat 100-52 brings a fresh, elevated perspective to sustainable interiors.

Bringing the outside in.

Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial start of summer, and while the patios outside are heating up, we are looking at how to capture that bright, airy energy within the permanent interior.

Designing sun-drenched indoor/outdoor transitions, light-filled hospitality spaces, or vibrant commercial sunrooms requires a strategic material palette. To channel summer brightness, Durat solid surface provides a seamless, non-porous barrier for indoor countertops and tabletops. Its distinctive, vivid colorways offer a luxuriously silky and warm feeling to the touch while remaining incredibly easy to clean and sanitize.

Pairing that vibrant surface with the rich, architectural grounding of PaperStone creates a beautifully balanced, sustainable envelope. This combination ensures your interior sanctuary handles heavy everyday use while maintaining its design integrity season after season.

Celebrate the season by upgrading your inside spaces.

Building a high-performance interior takes a village. Or in our case, a continent.

We are looking back at a busy start to the year spent "enclosing" the design community in education and inspiration. From "sample match sweaters" to technical deep dives, our mission is to move beyond the surface of the material to the faces and places that make great design possible.

So far in 2026, the journey has taken us from the Durat distributor meeting in Copenhagen to Earth Day highlights in Atlanta. We recently welcomed Micah Eastvold from ISEC to our Raleigh showroom and the ROCKin'teriors shop to bridge the gap between national specialty subcontracting and local fabrication expertise.

Whether we are discussing the circularity of recycled plastics or managing the interior finishes for a large commercial project, these visits ensure that every specification is backed by technical mastery. Thank you to the firms and partners who have hosted us so far this year. We are just getting started.
