Designers and architects in the built environment in New Zealand and Australia can now benefit from the spectacular colour and performance of the Interpon D Futura Collection 2024-2025 of powder coatings from AkzoNobel, helping them imagine and realise a new vision in colour and enable their creations to reconnect with nature.

With a growing demand for exceptional finishes among the region’s architects and designers, the Interpon D Futura Collection comprises three brand new, on-trend colour palettes – Merging Worlds, Healing Nature and Soft Abstraction – to help transform the built environment, matching aesthetic quality with proven sustainability performance.

The new collection is the result of rigorous testing and scientific research by AkzoNobel’s own in-house trend and colour specialists across multiple industries, and particularly those involved in the building and construction sector. It is also the result of more than two decades of development, during which the collections have inspired innovative designs all over the world.

Launched with the promise to ‘Futura your world’, the new range delivers a superdurable performance with a warranty up to 25-years, enabling architectural creations to stand the test of time.

As a powder coating, the collection is solvent-free and emits no volatile organic compounds which makes it a more sustainable choice than liquid alternatives. Any overspray can also be recovered and reused to minimise waste.

Interpon D was the first range of architectural powder coatings to achieve an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) providing an independently verified assessment of a coatings’ environmental impact across its whole lifespan, supporting an architect’s sustainability ambitions and contributing directly to the evolution of ‘green buildings’.

Şirvan Canıtez, Commercial Director South Asia, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings says the Interpon D Futura Collection has been created with the future in mind: “Our new collection provides architects with world class colours that enable them to bring their imagination to life. It also provides a sustainable choice in powder coatings that both protects buildings and lowers the environmental footprint compared to other coating solutions.”

“The range demonstrates Interpon’s commitment to delivering the highest quality colours, textures and finishes to enable architects to Futura their world and ours. That’s why we are constantly innovating, while collaborating with our Global Aesthetic Centre to use deep insight and scientific research to predict future trends and ensure they’re always one step ahead.”
