Bianco & Nero
Marble has been a favourite building material for thousands of years which is why it has been used for some of the most creative interior designs around the world, including modern exhibitions seen at the 2018 EuroCucina Show. The cool compositions of the natural patterns have inspired us to create decors which mirror the textured grain and gravel of this timeless, stylish finish. Used together, Bianco and Nero create a trendy contrast in the lighter and darker shades found in natural marble.
Run your hand over the Bianco and Nero decors in our new STUCCO finish and experience the refined coarse sensations of marble inspired decorative wood-based panels.
The IMPULSE’18 decor, Bianco and Nero, encompass the tactile elegance of natural marble and add this popular trend into the home, office, retail outlet, or reception area with ease and modern sophistication.

The Work Space: How Important Is It?
Here are a few points to consider when re-designing your office space:
Clutter
Previously, office environments would house large filing cabinets and bulky furniture making the workplace cluttered, claustrophobic and unconducive to productivity. This rubber stamp design trend changed when the opportunity to keep records on digital and remove the bulk from the interior. Having clear areas to allow free movement and easy access to different parts of the office allows employees to have a sense of clarity in the office.

Women lead the way in Architecture trends and designer living
At Sonae Arauco we follow international and local trends closely to bring the newest and latest design ideas into The Novolam Collection. Here are few qualities that we have found to come from women designers that move trends forward.
Women bring balance to design
Women designers bring elements of femininity to a design that has a softening effect on harsh, hard architectural lines brining the finished product together. Women designers have the ability to add depth to the living or work space by visualising the colour and finishing off with accessories that compliment the space. “Cape Town-based architect Ilze Wolff has been shortlisted for the prestigious
Women In Architecture Awards – the only African on the list, which includes some of the world’s most important practitioners.” Click Here to Read more
