The Studio Collection™ of solid surface by Aristech® offers exceptional creative freedom for design statements

The Studio Collection™ of solid surface by Aristech® offers exceptional creative freedom for design statements such as this spectacular 80ft U-shaped bar at the flagship bar and restaurant of Shoeless Joe’s Sports Grill™ Ontario Canada.

With a design vision for the bar to take centre stage by day or night, by customers seated upstairs or down, the designers specified Tempest 8710 from the Studio Collection™, one of the translucent effects that can be backlit. The versatility of the material for backlighting around the entire bar perimeter coupled with its seamless aesthetic fulfilled the design brief for a strong architectural statement.

Creating a bar of this magnitude demonstrates the fabrication capabilities of the Studio Collection™ material. The premium polyester resin-based sheets of material are thermoformable for curved and custom applications and can be jointed inconspicuously creating a smooth and streamlined aesthetic. The product is available in a sheet size of 3050 x 915 x 12mm. The Studio Collection™ is a high performance, low maintenance solid surface material that can cope easily with high traffic environments such as bars, restaurants, cafes, shops, hotels and washrooms where a non-porous, hygienic surface is required.

It carries the NSF51 certification for food preparation and is heat, stain, mould and pollutant resistant. It is backed by a ten-year commercial product warranty. Another advantage of this material is that it can be repaired and renewed to its original pristine condition. The Studio Collection™ offers 17 designs and colours, many of which can be backlit, giving designers a treasure trove of inspiration for projects in the retail, leisure and commercial sector for distinctive countertops, furniture, cash desks, store fixtures, partitions and signage.

The Studio Collection™ is exclusively available from IDS through branches, providing nationwide coverage, extensive stockholding and delivery within 24-48 hours from order. The Studio Collection is available to view here.
