The stuff that started it allWe are still making new materials with incredible attributes, but it all started with Varia.
We were the first to laminate interlayers between sheets of PETG and stand them up in an architectural environment. We were the first to mold and form those sheets. We were the first to offer a variety of colors and textures, then we coupled them with smart hardware and lighting. There are new firsts that we haven’t even touched yet. What would you like to do with Varia?

Breathtaking materials in stunning configurations.Varia can carry one or more interlayers encapsulated between its sheets. We can add layers on top of layers. We can embed colors, particles and textiles. We can even print HighRes and Graphic Patterns. With over 200+ curated interlayers your options are myriad.
It’s all about the interlayers

Design DecisionsVaria can do a million things, let us know the things you need it to do.
Texture and FinishApplied to the front or back of a panel you can add dimension and depth with textures or control scratch-resistance and translucency with finishes.
Interlayers*
Pick one or two layers, their placement and orientation. We are constantly adding new interlayers. Check out 3-form.com for more.
* Not all interlayers are available in all gauges or panel sizes. Contact your Materials Consultant for details.
250 ColorsPick from our carefully curated portfolio, or we can match any color your heart desires.
Diffusion and EffectsControl opacity, light and reflectivity. Decide how much light you want to let in, out, or through your panel.

Color you won’t believeAs we pushed the limits of what materials can do, we realized that Varia can’t do everything. We created Chroma as a thick, durable solution that holds up to horizontal applications: tables, benches, boxes and counters. Chroma carries light and can stand up to steady use.

PET, commonly found in water bottles, is recycled into pellets that are then extruded into thin, soft fibers. The fibers are then layered, pressed, and felted together to create sheets of sound absorbing Sola Felt.
Sola FeltFeel good about Felt
Made using our PET technology and 50% post-consumer recycled material, you can feel good about using a rigid felt that stands up physically and stands for something important environmentally.
Sola Felt is a gorgeous way to make some noise, while keeping the sound to a minimum. But let’s just keep that between you and me.

Absorption Absorptive materials soften reverberation and dampen sound energy in a space. Absorption is ideal for loud conference rooms or open spaces where people congregate.
ShhhhhCalm down.
This sound absorptive material in eye- catching forms will leave people speechless. However, when you tell them that it is made with 50% recycled post-consumer material you just might hear an audible gasp.
Sola Felt forms semi-rigid panels that can take a variety of shapes and applications.
