Munksjö at Interzum Cologne 2025: A fresh look at color and surface innovation

20. May 2025

Munksjö is presenting a renewed 50m² booth at Interzum Cologne 2025 (Hall 6, Booth C-021), showcasing its design-forward approach to decor paper, with a clear focus on color expertise and practical innovation. 

This year, the company’s booth features a completely new concept centered around color trend forecasting and surface aesthetics. It reflects Munksjö’s ongoing commitment to inspire the furniture and interior design industries through collaboration and color innovation. 

Introducing DENSITY: Solid Color Trend Collection 2025-2026 

One of the main highlights is the exclusive launch of DENSITY – Munksjö’s new Solid Color Decor Paper Trend Collection. With 14 curated tones grouped into two families – HIGH DENSITY and LOW DENSITY – the collection explores contrasts like weight and lightness, earth and air, visibility and transparency. The color palette is timeless yet aligned with forward-looking trends from Milan. 

The collection is designed for use in HPL, LPL, and CPL processes. DENSITY reflects Munksjö’s efforts to balance trend-driven design with technical consistency. It is ideal for elevating interior spaces across residential, commercial, and hospitality environments.

Spotlight on outdoor and pre-impregnated solutions 

Also featured at the booth is OUTDOOR3, Munksjö’s new decor paper collection tailored for exterior applications. With 134 solid colors, this expanded palette offers enhanced durability and long-term performance for HPL compact surfaces. Architects and designers will appreciate its weather resistance, lightfastness, and versatility for outdoor projects. 

Visitors will also be able to explore the distinctive MFOIL pre-impregnated color collection. Developed to offer a broader choice of colors to enhance final aesthetics, MFOIL papers offer outstanding sheet formation, high opacity, and superior printability – enabling smooth and homogeneous covering of substrates. MFOIL pre-impregnated paper is available in different quality types meeting the requirements of a broad range of finish foil applications.

Where color innovation meets surface excellence 

Munksjö is unveiling a new collaboration at Interzum: Munksjö powered by Upco® – Where color innovation meets surface excellence. This partnership combines advanced technical performance with the refined aesthetics of the DENSITY collection. Developed to add value to HPL and LPL surfaces, the products offer anti-fingerprint and scratch-resistant finishes paired with contemporary colors – creating new design possibilities appreciated by manufacturers and designers alike for their functionality and visual appeal. 

In addition, collaborations with SESA and HUECK Rheinische will bring finely curated surface textures to the booth, further enhancing the DENSITY colors.

“The interplay of color and texture can dramatically transform a surface’s visual identity, giving furniture and interiors a completely different character depending on the chosen combination”, explained Ana María Plata, Business Development Manager Solid Colors at Munksjö.  

A commitment to evolving customer needs 

Munksjö’s participation at Interzum Cologne reinforces its role as a flexible and forward-thinking partner in surface materials. With a focus on co-creation, trend responsiveness, and continuous improvement, the company aims to deliver decor paper solutions that are relevant, responsible, and reliable. 

“At Munksjö, we are continuously listening, adapting, and investing in what matters most to our partners – from color inspiration to technical solutions that support efficient processing,” said Florian Mayer, Vice President Sales & Marketing at Munksjö. “Our presence at Interzum reflects not only our passion for surfaces, but our commitment to evolving together with our customers.” 

“Color is part of Munksjö’s DNA. We don’t just follow trends – we translate them into tangible, high-quality solutions that inspire product development,” added Sébastien Alainé, Head of Marketing and Communication. “With collections like DENSITY and our ongoing design research, we offer unique insights to help our customers shape their own narratives and color strategies.”
