What is Formica? Popular for its durability, it became a huge trend in the mid century styles marketed towards homes that were truly "lived in". It's made of plastic phenolic resins that are laminated onto layers of the ordinary brown kraft paper, and then a printed decorative layer is added, topped by a strong wear-resistant layer and a thin and transparent melamine resin layer for maximum protection. #furnituredesign #paintedfurniture #home #homedecor #savedbydesign #furniture #painting #reels
