JACKSONVILLE, Florida, Feb. 28, 200 /ARPA USA/ -- ARPA USA takes high pressure laminates to another dimension with the introduction of Tattili. Light dances across these extraordinary textures to delight the senses; the look is subtle and soft both to the eye and the touch. When you first see and touch Tattili you know that no dictionary is required to translate this sensuous sounding word from the Italian. Designed for horizontal as well as vertical applications, Tattili is unique in that it is the only high pressure laminate with this type of fine detail texturing that is designed for use on horizontal surfaces. The play of light of each of the textures is particularly mesmerizing when Tattili is applied to the horizontal surfaces of bar tops, transaction counters, counter tops and tables. Each of the delicately etched patterns will stand up to even the roughest wear and tear of a check-out counter, an elevator cab or wainscoting.

Each color takes on a totally different personality with one of the 5 textures offered:

MESH is a truly three-dimensional diagonal plaid.

SCALE is a small-scale organic animal skin pattern.

COAT resembles a flame stitch pattern.

PIXEL gives any color a hi-tech look.

CLUB is a tweed pattern.

These patterns can be used to introduce or reinforce an interior theme in a subtle and sophisticated manner in a wide range of applications. Both natural and artificial lighting enhances the three dimensional beauty of Tattili and brings it to life. 5 colors will be stocked by ARPA USA. The on-trend color offering includes dramatic red, graphic black and three stylish metallic tones - platinum, cool silver and warm taupe. A full range of colors is available by special order.
