Munksjö has introduced its latest solid color decor paper collection – DENSITY – and captivated the design community with an immersive, color-centric presentation first showcased at Interzum Cologne.

DENSITY empowers designers to shape the atmosphere of interior spaces through color. The collection features 14 curated tones, thoughtfully grouped into two conceptually rich families:

• HIGH DENSITY – Grounded, Rich, Timeless: Deep, nature-inspired tones that evoke stability, warmth, and comfort – ideal for creating serene, grounded spaces.
• LOW DENSITY – Luminous, Ethereal, Modern: Light, airy colors inspired by transparency, wellness, and technology – bringing freshness, clarity, and openness to interiors.

Design meets durability

Developed for high-pressure (HPL), low-pressure (LPL), and continuous (CPL) laminate applications, DENSITY reflects Munksjö’s commitment to trend-driven aesthetics backed by technical reliability. The palette draws inspiration from cultural movements and global design trends, tailored for a wide range of interior environments – from residential to commercial, hospitality, and workspaces.

“The DENSITY collection explores contrasts – weight and lightness, earth and air, visibility and transparency,” said Ana María Plata, Head of Color & Design at Munksjö. “It gives designers the freedom to define a space’s emotional character through color.”

A valuable resource for surface producers, designers and specifiers alike

DENSITY is more than a curated color palette — it is a technically advanced and design-forward solution tailored for the engineered wood-based panel industry. Optimized for consistent impregnation, color stability and efficient runnability, these decor papers meet the demanding requirements of modern laminate production. This makes them ideally suited for industrial partners looking to manufacture high-performance surfaces with excellent machinability, advanced technical properties and durable end-use characteristics.

From a design perspective, DENSITY enables the creation of finished products that elevate everyday spaces — from kitchen and bathroom cabinetry to office furniture, wall cladding, splashbacks, shelving, and retail or hospitality interiors. The collection empowers designers and architects to work confidently with colors that are both emotionally resonant and industrially reliable, bridging the gap between concept and execution.

By specifying decor papers from the DENSITY range, designers, architects, and furniture makers gain access to a palette that combines emotional depth with technical performance — allowing them to deliver visually impactful, cohesive, and long-lasting design solutions. The collection’s versatility and compatibility with advanced surface finishes make it ideal for both residential and commercial projects, where beauty and durability must go hand in hand.

Partnerships that elevate performance and design

Through a strategic collaboration with Upco®, Munksjö enhances the DENSITY palette with premium surface finishes that combine high-end visuals with everyday functionality. These coat

ings offer anti-fingerprint and scratch-resistant properties, ensuring that durability and beauty go hand in hand.

The result: decorative surfaces that are visually refined, highly tactile, and technically advanced.

Curated textures for deeper impact

Further enriching the sensory experience, Munksjö partnered with SESA and HUECK Rheinische to bring expertly curated textures into play. These textures interact with the DENSITY tones in subtle, expressive ways – changing perception depending on light, angle, and materiality.

“The interplay of color and texture can dramatically transform a surface’s visual identity,” said Sébastien Alainé, Director of Marketing & Communications at Munksjö. “Furniture and interiors can take on entirely different personalities depending on the combinations chosen.”
