2009 DuPont Corian Private Collection Colors Draw from Earth and Sky to Stimulate and Refresh the SoulTextured Countertop Introductions Represent the Course and Spontaneity of Nature's Rhythm

May, 2009 – The 2009 DuPont™ Corian® Private Collection was inspired by the picturesque stratification of clouds and sky at dusk, the scenic intermingling of the hues of rolling farmland and the quaint pebbling of a sandy beach. The 8 new Corian® hues – Witch Hazel, Sandalwood, Jasmine, Saffron, Elderberry, Juniper, Thyme and Rosemary – were inspired by the graceful movements of land and sky and help turn kitchens and baths into refuges from the complexity of our lives. The collection's natural palette of browns, rusts, grays, blues and greens was designed to help create environments that refresh, restore and recharge.

DuPont Corian's New Private Collection

"Our emphasis was on complementing the expression of nature with textured solid surface colors that inspire," said Maureen McGeehan, marketing manager – DuPont Surfaces. "The result is a simple, yet refined aesthetic that offers weary homeowners the calming tonic effects of nature as a counterbalance to the constant bustle of our hectic lives." The new colors combine natural base tones with golden and bronze shaded veining, dotted with harmonizing particulates. Particle sizes and tonalities are intermingled to emit a sense of movement to catch the eye and restore the soul.
