Retreat by the Lake: The Renewal of Spring Arrives

With the arrival of spring, nature slowly transforms. Snow melts, landscapes reveal themselves, and light gradually returns. The days grow longer, the air becomes softer, and a new energy settles in.

As the seasons change, nature shifts its rhythm, and the way we inhabit our spaces evolves as well. It is within this spirit of renewal that Retreat by the Lake takes shape, our latest product launch inspired by the elements of the shoreline: sand, stone, wood shaped by the wind, and the soft light reflecting on the water.

Rich and Natural Wood Grains 

The collection first expands with two wood grain colours that bring depth and character to spaces. Our new laminate Mythos L13, a rich, contemporary and pronounced tone, is followed by our neo-laminate Master Oak Copper OH926, which offers a striking resemblance to real wood. 

These wood grain introduce a warm and natural presence into projects and illustrate the shift from very pale or greyish species toward richer, more expressive and warmer woods.

A Soft and Luminous Mineral Palette

The collection also welcomes new Similaque colours inspired by natural elements. With Cove Shore SA454-M, Rocher Blanc SA452-M, and Water Lily White SA450-M, the palette explores soft mineral tones that evoke sand, light stone, and the glow of the shoreline.

These colours help create refined and balanced environments where materials express themselves with subtlety. They also reflect the evolution of whites observed in current trends, where warmer, more enveloping tones are gradually replacing pure whites and cool greys.

Two New FENIX Shades

Within the High Engineering range, the collection also introduces two FENIX colours. White Muslin SF114-M, a new luminous shade, enriches the palette with a crisper white, while Hemp Line SF126-M offers a deeper alternative that adds contrast. 

Beyond their refined aesthetic and ultra-matte finish, FENIX surfaces are also known for their durability. Thanks to their thermal repair technology, micro-scratches can be reduced through the simple application of heat, helping preserve the material’s appearance over time. This combination of performance, repairability and resistance makes it an ideal solution for spaces designed to last.

Now More Options Available with the Tribeca Door

The collection also introduces new European laminate colours now available with the Tribeca door. The wood grains Achene Dama H219, Achene Assyrtico H217, and Achene Bianco H218 draw inspiration from the natural, luminous woods found in Nordic landscapes.

Thanks to their synchronized texture that follows the grain pattern, these finishes realistically reproduce the appearance and feel of real wood. Their subtle grain and natural tones bring warmth and authenticity to spaces while maintaining a contemporary and balanced aesthetic.

A Palette Designed to Last

Retreat by the Lake offers a cohesive palette inspired by nature and designed to stand the test of time. Colours and wood grains that help create spaces that are calm, warm and timeless.

Because beyond trends, the most beautiful spaces are often those that invite us to slow down, enjoy the present moment and feel truly at home.

Like spring, when the snow melts and the landscape gradually reveals its colours, Retreat by the Lake draws inspiration from this natural renewal to offer materials and tones that integrate gently into the lived space, balanced compositions designed to last and accompany everyday moments.
