Oriental Cafè

Corian bar counter made by Arco Arredo for Oriental Cafe

Oriental Cafè

Design and fabrication for bars and shops — 2006

A bar counter is the hardest-working piece of furniture there is: it is wiped down dozens of times a day, and takes knocks, liquids and heat. DuPont™ Corian® stands up to that rhythm for one precise reason — it is not porous, so it does not absorb, and marks of use are removed by sanding.

For the Oriental Cafè we handled both design and fabrication: the counter, the worktops and the cladding, with continuous surfaces and curved junctions obtained by thermoforming.

Why Corian in public venues

  • Non-porous surface: it absorbs neither liquids nor smells, and is easy to sanitise
  • Invisible joints: no seam for dirt to settle in
  • Repairable: scratches and burns are removed by sanding, without replacing the top
  • Thermoformable: curves and soft junctions, hard to achieve in stone
