High-Pressure Laminate
Reclaimed Denim Fiber
Reclaimed Denim Fiber is an innovative composite material for the laminate industry. It is made of specially produced overlay paper that consists of 60 per cent of recycled cotton fibres from denim manufacturing. Instead of printing a pattern onto paper, the markings of this laminate are caused by the structure of the loose-weave fibres dyed with real indigo. Every board therefore looks different. The Gloss Finish shows the fibre structure off to its best advantage while the Jeans Finish highlights the classic denim twill weave.
Statement by the Jury
An unusual as well as environmentally friendly use of material distinguishes the design of this hard-wearing, high-pressure laminate surface finish.
