MOP Quote
We’ve eliminated the need for any backing material, allowing Karlite to stand strong on its own.
Karlite is a solid surface material for architecture and design, combining durability with quiet elegance. Its 19mm thickness gives it structure and allows it to stand independently without backers. Rather than trying to look sustainable, Karlite quietly embodies a different way of thinking about materials, production and use while remaining fully recyclable.

MOP Classic
Mother of Pearl Classic is where it all began. Its subtle grey-white tone captures the essence of the material; refined, balanced and timeless. The swirling patterns evoke natural stone, yet its luminous depth reveals something distinctly contemporary. Elegant under any light, it’s the purest expression of our vision: beauty born from waste.
MOP Graphite
Once applied by the Karl Lagerfeld team, Graphite became an unmissable element in the iconic duo of Black and White that defines the Mother of Pearl collection. Its deep metallic swirls and silvery undertones give it a sense of movement and depth, balancing bold contrast with refined elegance.
MOP Dune
MOP Gold radiates warmth and sophistication with its soft golden hue and pearlescent sheen. Its swirling pattern catches the light like liquid metal, creating depth and movement across the surface. A timeless tone that brings understated luxury to both contemporary and classic interiors.
MOP Victoria Green
MOP Victoria Green combines soft greens with pearlescent veining, echoing the elegance of hand-polished stone. Its serene tone adds balance and freshness to any space, while the swirling surface reflects light in gentle, shifting patterns, calm, refined, and quietly striking.
