DuPont Corian Lights Up Its New York Design Studio

A space to show off the diverse capabilities of DuPont Corian is an understatement. The new DuPont Corian Design Studio in New York's Flatiron district is a full-out appeal to the senses. The 5,000-sq.-ft. space is intended to be an interactive workshop where designers can consult directly with experts to address project-specific needs. And there's plenty of pretty things to look at, too.

Designed by architects Michael Morris and Yoshiko Sato of New York-based Morris Sato Studio, the space uses lighting, sound and shape technology to create "a sanctuary of space." Innovative lighting fixtures hang from the ceiling, featuring a thin skin of Corian wrapping elongated tubes with color-changing LEDs. The space is segmented by industry, opening with a multi-use wall, and then separating for hospitality, kitchen, bath, corporate and healthcare usages. A fitting showroom for a limitless product.
