The solid color tone U999 Black remains an important contrast in furniture and interior design. In the contract sector, the striking black and white contrast is even more frequent. In furniture design, black is increasingly being used more subtly with natural white tones and sand colors, with 'muted colors' and also with naturally elegant wood variants. The ST7 Smoothtouch Fine Pearl neutral surface texture gives black surfaces an improved usability despite a rather matte look and feel.
