Notes

Formica Forever is a centennial celebration of Formica, tracing the material’s evolution from early 20th-century electrical insulation to a defining element of modern design. The book explores its rise in popularity—especially during the post-World War II housing boom—its global expansion, and its continued reinvention by prominent designers and architects. Combining essays, archival imagery, and a vibrant color-and-pattern chronology, it highlights how Formica shaped everyday environments and design culture while continuing to inspire new creative uses today.
