Rounded organic shapes can be seen in the edge of a counter or island top, an arch over an entryway or cooking hearth, the curved lines of a light fixture and well-placed, space-defining soffits. Softer geometry is showing up with fortitude in contemporary and traditional designs alike. The introduction of rounded islands and countertops carves a smooth-flowing traffic pattern throughout the room, while an appropriately placed arch will bring an overall softening to the more angular fixed features that are typical in kitchens and baths.

Transform light into a tangible element for you to shape and mold. Imagine what you can do with the combination of light and the unique thermoformable properties of DuPont Corian. Go ahead and switch your design to "on".
The true possibilities of designing with Corian Illumination Series colors becomes readily apparent when backlit. And the type of backlight makes a big difference. Design in "on" with Corian® Blueberry Ice, Glacier Ice, Mint Ice, Lime Ice and Strawberry Ice. These remarkable surface materials bring smooth, clean, enhanced translucency to your designs. The color effects from these materials change dramatically when backlit. When the lighting system behind your design is turned on the pastel appearance disappears and is dominated by the light source aesthetics. Be creative! Test each of these with different types of light sources, the many variations and shades of white light and effects from colored light. You will be amazed by the possibilities.
