CHICAGO, Ill., April 21-23, 2006 – Awaken to the timeless inspiration of nature at this year’s Kitchen/Bath Industry Show (K/BIS) through the latest visual offering from DuPont Surfaces. This year’s warm, earthy tones capture the essence of a solitary stroll in the forest or a calming nap in the hay, allowing homeowners to experience a harmonious blend of nature and science in the comfort of their home.

Reaching beyond its science-based heritage, DuPont worked intricately with progressive architects and designers to produce this year’s soothing, subtle collection that helps everyone create inviting personal spaces that will endure both functionally and aesthetically.

“The 2006 colors of DuPont™ Corian® and Zodiaq® were designed to create a grounding oasis, a balance to the sensory overload that overworked and overtired consumers face on a daily basis,” explained Ginguei Ebnesajjad, DuPont Surfaces director of product styling and development. “This latest palette offers soft accents so homeowners can truly unwind in a relaxing, natural atmosphere.”
