For a new zoned cafeteria at the Acland Burghley School in North London, the architects specified Formica High Pressure Laminate from its 'Plain Colours' range. Screen-printed in black with specially-commissioned artwork, the laminate was applied on 'feature' walls in the cafeteria. The printed images and colours have been used to identify and sub-brand the different areas or zones within the space. The zones include a snack zone, a diner zone, a bar zone, an internet zone and an outdoor zone. Separate furniture, flooring and lighting treatments allow for further acknowledgement of zonal areas and the architects specified the company's Velour surface finish for the laminates in the designated spaces. The colours of Malibu, Mouse, Spectrum Yellow, Beaujolais, Clementine and Tricia were provided.
