Hand-made: Corian® Solid Surface

Creative perspectives evolve, as design increasingly becomes a fusion of ideas, materials, technology and environment.

Corian® Solid Surface is a brand and an exclusive product of DuPont. It is a solid, non-porous, homogeneous throughout its thickness material; a solution that offers durability comparable to the stone, the workability of wood and the malleability of plastic materials.

The products made of Corian® Solid Surface are created by mixing artisan skill and innovation ability.

Since almost twenty years, the Boffi Corian® Solid Surface working laboratory is located in the company’s headquarters, inside its 25,000 square meters production area.

The tools used for Corian® Solid Surface working are the same of wood, in fact the division was originally a carpentry, where cutting, gluing and polishing are mostly crafted by hand.

Surfaces glued together inconspicuously create a seamless look, giving virtually unlimited design possibilities.

De Padova - French Concession table designed by Piero Lissoni.
There is a trick, but you can’t see it. The large round table blossoms from the floor like a real flower. Nature always gifts us these feats, yet the man still imagines geometrical forms and create new projects for living spaces.
“It’s a table that blossoms from the floor; it’s a capital, a pillar and a beam, everything in a single piece.” - P. Lissoni

Corian® Solid Surface is the major source of inspiration for architects and designers, a new tool for communication and for enhancing creative expression.
