Karlite redefines recycled solid surfaces, combining refined aesthetics with responsible making.
We’ve eliminated the need for any backing material, allowing Karlite to stand strong on its own.
Karlite is a solid surface material for furniture, architecture and design. Combining durability with quiet elegance, its 19mm thickness gives it the strength that allows it to stand independently without any backing material or substrate. Rather than trying to look sustainable, Karlite embodies a different way of thinking about reuse, production and function while remaining fully recycled and recyclable.

Chalk
This material's soft elegance is derived from one of the Earth's most abundant natural pigments. Karlite Chalk embodies a subtle translucency, glowing gracefully when backlit. While beautiful in a lighting appliance, its soft and neutral colour make in an ideal choice for table tops and interior surfaces where a natural calming hue is required.
Jade
While Karlite Jade's muted green is subtly fresh, there is a calm demeanour about it. Its tone feels both contemporary and organic in a way that adds a dash of ease and clarity to the space. Softly translucent, its hue shifts along with the daylight and brings a quiet sense of vitality to any object.
Glacial
Reminiscent of the icebergs of the Earth's poles, Karlite Glacial stands proud almost weightless with an icy tone. The gentle translucency reveals depth beneath the surface and plays with the light passing through. In an ever faster world, Glacial stands as a sincere, calming factor and allows time to stand still.
Chestnut
Karlite Chestnut carries a dark, rich colored jacket that reveals a subtle warmth when exposed to the light. Grounded and sophisticated, there is a feeling of natural stability and calm. If you seek timeless presence or classic sophistication then Chestnut is a perfect material for an office space or a brewery.
Sienna
Warmth and depth are the first words that come to mind when looking at Karlite Sienna. Its translucency gives it a soft inner glow alike to a fiery hearth, bringing about a feeling of permanence and coming home to any interior. Balanced between natural and contemporary, it’s a colour that captivates and requires your attention.
Quartz
While Karlite Quartz has a subtle rose blush, in certain settings it appears nearly white while embodying a visual depth akin to the mineral it's named after. Softly refracting any light, this material will bring a sense of refinement to any setting with a hint of playfulness.
Pomegranate
Truly a material with personality. Its royal deep red hue brings warmth and richness to any space or object, inviting you to come closer and engage. Its grounded nature radiates calmness and brings with it a sense of quiet hinting to the striking red that's revealed when exposed to the light.
