LX Hausys – HIMACS Materials with Recycled Content for Retail and Interior Design

At EuroShop 2026 in Düsseldorf (22–26 February), LX Hausys presented material solutions for retail environments through an exhibition stand designed by the multidisciplinary studio COAST. The installation featured architectural forms fabricated in HIMACS solid surface, demonstrating applications of the material in retail and interior environments.

The stand incorporated sculptural volumes and curved structures illustrating the thermoforming capabilities and seamless surface properties of HIMACS.

According to Timm Mudra, Director at LX Hausys Europe, the exhibition provided an opportunity to engage with international visitors and industry professionals.

“We are very satisfied with the outcome and consider the trade fair a clear success,” said Timm Mudra, Director at LX Hausys Europe.

The open-plan stand guided visitors through four clearly defined experiential zones, combining contemporary formal language with subtle references to Korean aesthetics. In the Immersive Zone, sculptural elements and carefully orchestrated lighting created a striking introduction. The Heritage and Touch & Feel Zones placed materiality and tactile experience at the forefront.

Particular attention was given to the Sustainability Zone, where new HIMACS colours featuring SCS-certified recycled content were presented alongside a 15 newly launched colours even further enhancing the extensive colour palette and shown for the first time. Complementary information on certification, material cycles and durability added emphasis to the company’s sustainability ambitions.

Architect Zlatko Antolovic, founder of COAST, described the stand as an exploration of the formal possibilities of HIMACS within architectural space.

“The interplay of sculptural forms and seamless surfaces, of light and shadow, and of tactile experiences across different spatial atmospheres demonstrates the potential of HIMACS as a design material,” explained Zlatko Antolovic.

EuroShop’s international reach was reflected in visitor engagement, with around 20% coming from non-European markets. LX Hausys also reported growing global brand recognition, with many visitors now immediately recognising HIMACS.

Strong interest was also generated by the HFLOR Decolay 70 flooring collection, featuring 22 wood and stone designs combining durability with adhesive-free installation and verified sustainability credentials. BENIF, the self-adhesive interior film for walls, ceilings and furniture, further addressed the demand for flexible and rapidly implemented design solutions in retail environments.

Through the presentation of these materials and installations, LX Hausys demonstrated applications of its product portfolio in retail and interior environments.
