Formica® is more than a material – it’s a design revolution that began in 1913.
As the original inventor of HPL, Formica has shaped the way of living for over a century. From the post-war home to the contemporary kitchen, from mid-century modern to future forward design, Formica has been part of it: expressive, functional, and always evolving.
Crafted primarily from paper, yet endlessly versatile, Formica laminate has become an icon — a medium for creativity, colour, texture and transformation. Designed for everyday excellence, it continues to lead through innovation, inspiring new generations of manufacturers, architects, and interior storytellers.
For over a century, Formica has perfected the balance of style, durability, and innovation, as the world’s most recognised laminate brand. Its unrivalled expertise ensures its laminate products meet the needs of the customer and their specified interior applications.
With design teams across Europe, Asia, and North America, Formica combines global insight with regional expertise to develop innovative, inclusive, and locally relevant collections.
