HIMACS Terrazzo Colours Win Red Dot 2026
Five terrazzo colours took a Red Dot Design Award this year, and four of them carry certified recycled content that most colour launches never bother to disclose. They arrive as part of a fifteen-colour range for 2026.
Red Dot Winner, Product Design 2026
Q102 Ulivo · Q103 Nuvola · Q105 Sorrento · Q106 Marsala · Q107 Selva · HIMACS press materials, June 2026
Five HIMACS Terrazzo colours have just picked up a Red Dot Design Award 2026 in the Product Design category, one of the most closely watched distinctions in the industry. The win lands alongside a broader launch: fifteen new HIMACS colours for 2026, spanning terrazzo, marble-inspired Calacatta surfaces, solids and stone-textured Aurora & Marmo finishes. Between the two announcements, HIMACS is using its 2026 range to make a fairly direct argument: that a decorative solid surface can also carry a verifiable recycled content number, and that the two don’t have to trade off against each other.
The Terrazzo five
Each colour reworks the traditional heavily-grained terrazzo look into a contemporary palette. Four of the five carry SCS-certified pre-consumer recycled content, sourced from HIMACS’ own manufacturing and fabrication offcuts rather than material bought in from elsewhere.
Q105 · Recycled content certified
Terrazzo Sorrento
A paler option with a matrix of pastel grains and a lemony undertone.
Q106
Terrazzo Marsala
A cool, red-wine-toned shade built to sit alongside greys and beiges.
Q103 · Recycled content certified
Terrazzo Nuvola
A warm nougat shade flecked with red, named for its cloud-soft base tone.
Q107 · Highest recycled content in this launch
Terrazzo Selva
The darkest of the five, with a dense scatter of lighter grains, and 25% SCS-certified pre-consumer recycled content, among the highest levels currently available anywhere in the HIMACS portfolio.

15yrWarranty, Quality Club
- Recycled content that’s certified, not asserted. Multiple 2026 colours carry SCS-certified pre-consumer recycled content, with Terrazzo Selva at 25%.
- Circular manufacturing, not just circular messaging. The recycled material comes from HIMACS’ own production and fabrication offcuts, reintroduced into new colour formulations.
- Backed by an EPD. HIMACS has an Environmental Product Declaration covering global warming potential and other lifecycle impacts, and contributes to LEED, BREEAM and DGNB credits.
- Indoor air quality credentials. No VOC emissions, formaldehyde-free, silica-free and nanoparticle-free, with GREENGUARD Gold and top-tier indoor air quality certification.
- Built to last, and to be repaired rather than replaced. Seamless, repairable, thermoformable, and covered by a 15-year warranty when fabricated by a Quality Club member.
LX Hausys and 2050 Materials
The recycled content figures and the EPD referenced above aren’t just claims from a press release. They’re backed by verified sustainability data on the 2050 Materials platform, part of an ongoing partnership with LX Hausys, where the same numbers can be checked directly and compared against similar products.
