Introducing surface memory

Inspired by tactile textures across a range of materials, from clay to glass, paint and fabrics, surface memory® evokes a feeling of nostalgia and whimsy whilst maintaining a modern and commercial vibe. We photographed the range at Orangebox’s Northern showroom, demonstrating how seamlessly it complements modern commercial furniture—from rich, coordinating upholstery fabrics to reeded glass booths and pods.

The palette of 12 colours is cohesive and carefully considered, balancing soft and strong contrasts with a mix of cool and warm tones. Designed for versatility, every shade can be used throughout a full installation or mixed and matched across a space.

While several surface memory® shades coordinate with surface trace® and surface story®, halycon stands out as our unique highlight. A deep, rich burgundy that captures the essence of recent and upcoming trends, bringing an inviting, intense warmth to the surface memory® palette.

At 825g, surface memory® is crafted with Universal Fibers’ groundbreaking carbon-negative Thrive® matter yarn. Combined with our BioBase® recycled backing, this gives us another carbon-neutral option in our portfolio that can be paired with surface trace® and surface story® to form a new concept: Design Connection™.
