Worktop manufacturer the Formica Group has joined software manufacturer ArtiCAD Supplier Partnership Programme.

It means Formica’s worktop collections for the residential market – Prima, Axiom and Aria – are now available as graphics catalogues within the ArtiCAD-Pro software.

Both the Prima and Axiom brands were relaunched in October 2020 to incorporate new designs, decors and styles.

Designers using the ArtiCAD-Pro software are able to access all the new designs and incorporate the latest Formica surfaces into their kitchen designs.

The partnership with ArtiCAD is the first time in Formica Group’s history that it has worked with a CAD company for its residential collections.

The Formica Group graphics within the ArtiCAD catalogue not only showcase the worktop decors in situ but also illustrate the thicknesses and edges of the products.

UK design manager at Formica Group Nina Bailey commented: “Working with ArtiCAD and becoming a member of their Supplier Partnership Programme is an important step for our company in elevating the brand’s presence and visibility in the residential kitchen design marketplace, especially as we launch the new Prima and Axiom collections.”

The streamlined Prima collection comprises 34 on-trend core surface designs, complemented by 16 new worktop decors and 10 feature splashbacks in light woods, warm stones and solid colours.

The Axiom collection comprises 50 designs, 20 of which are new, 18 feature splashbacks and 50 matching ones, with three new textures.

While the Aria collection features classic designs, with marble veining, granite and engineered stone patterns.  It is available in 3 colours, 15 decors and 12mm and 20mm thicknesses.
