Inspiration for Residential Spaces

Let yourself be inspired by the many ways FENIX^® Innovative Material can be used in residential interiors. It has everything you need to meet a variety of requirements, whether it's ease of maintenance, durability, or aesthetics. 

But first, do you know what is FENIX^®?

First introduced in 2013 by Arpa Industriale, FENIX^® was developed following years of research and development by an international team of scientists and engineers. FENIX^® selection of innovative surface materials is made of paper (over 60%) and thermosetting resins (30-40%). The FENIX^® products are created by a pressing process in which heat and pressure are applied simultaneously in order to obtain a homogeneous non-porous product.

Among the unique properties that define FENIX^® Innovative Materials, such as their soft-touch feel and resistance to fingerprints, their low light reflectivity is the first aspect you notice. A single glance is enough to reveal the surface’s strikingly matte appearance. This distinctive feature provides exceptional visual comfort and allows for beautiful interactions with different types of light.

When viewed under a microscope, you can see that the structure of FENIX^® is like a landscape with uneven peaks and valleys. When light waves hit the surface, the angle of incidence is not the same everywhere. Therefore, light reflects in different directions. This is what gives FENIX^® its matte appearance.

How can FENIX^® be used?

Available in 21 colours, FENIX^® Innovative Materials offers residential design solutions for every room in the house. FENIX^® surfaces are suitable for both vertical and horizontal applications. Additionally, superficial micro-scratches can be thermally repaired. Find inspiration for your next renovation projects here:

kitchen

FENIX^® is ideal for kitchens, as its matte surface diffuses light rather than reflecting it. This interaction with light creates a subtle, understated effect characterized by visual depth. Whether used on an island, countertops, or cabinets, FENIX^® does not create glaring reflections—a perfect feature for achieving a calm, contemporary atmosphere in a kitchen.
