Every day more expensive and innovative materials are being used in the kitchen, which leaves traditional Formica looking plain and dated. However with the reissue of classic 50s patterns, this economical and practical surface offers a bright and vibrant vintage style. Originally released as Skylark in the 1950s, the diner-style countertop enjoyed a resurgence in popularity in 80s colours under the name Boomerang. Now with the rising popularity of retro and vintage style Formica have re-released these fabulous patterns for today's modern kitchens. Available in a light blue Skylark, a soothing aqua, a vibrant coral, and warm charcoal, this classic laminate makes a dramatic statement in the kitchen. A part of the Formica Patterns Collection, samples of the Boomerang worktop can be ordered online from Formica.
