Artist Kathleen (Fred) Streitenberger created the Marbled Gray 180fx laminate surface by adding a pouring medium to shades of grey paint for swirls and elaborate veining patterns similar to its inspirational material. The unique handcrafted effect has a sense of texture and visual depth that takes marble in a new artistic direction. It’s part of Formica’s Living Impressions collection.

Invisibly integrated within this porcelain surface is a three- or four-element induction hob, effectively turning countertop into cooktop and freeing up space without compromising function. Each cook zone has its own power level — all controlled via an app — and, when turned off, the material instantly becomes safe to touch. Available in large-format sizes (up to 1.6 by 3.2 metres) and a range of colourways.
