New technical ideas and solutions as well as the trend towards individualisation are taking on an increasingly important role in the world of plastics. New materials, surfaces and shapes impress the consumer and stand out at the “point of sale”.

"Perfect Imperfection" is an effect series where shapes and structures formed over the years by nature are emulated in plastic in ways never seen before. More precisely, it involves the representation of onyx, marble, oxidised metals and even concrete in numerous colour combinations. These will be showcased during Colour Vision No. 17, the annual trend preview from (ics) company. Previously unachieved effects in plastic such as marble veining, wood grains, oxidation processes and stone surfaces are achievable in plastic for the first time. Such creativity has virtually no boundaries. The effects represent provoked individuality, controlled randomness and an imaginative range of colours. These impressions can be achieved in PP and HDPE.
