Farasan

Farasan Profile

Farasan is a distinguished stone-look finish within the PG Bison MelaWood range, specifically featured in the SupaTexture collection. It is designed to capture the raw, unrefined beauty of natural rock and weathered concrete.

Aesthetic and Texture

Farasan is characterized by its mid-to-dark grey palette with complex, multi-tonal “movement.” It mimics the appearance of split stone or aged cement, offering a rugged yet sophisticated industrial aesthetic.

• SupaTexture Finish: This is the defining characteristic of Farasan. Unlike standard flat boards, SupaTexture provides a deep, tactile embossing. The surface has physical “peaks and valleys” that catch the light, making it feel like genuine stone rather than a printed laminate.

• The Look: It features a blend of charcoal, slate grey, and subtle earthy undertones. The “cloudy” pattern ensures that no two sections of a kitchen look exactly the same, providing an organic feel.

Design Applications

Farasan is a “statement” finish often used to add texture to modern architectural spaces:

• Monolithic Islands: Using Farasan for an entire kitchen island creates the illusion of a solid block of stone.

• Feature Walls & Cladding: It is a popular choice for TV backdrops, fireplace surrounds (where heat clearance allows), and commercial reception areas.

• Executive Cabinetry: Farasan adds a masculine, grounded feel to home offices or sophisticated bar areas.

Recommended Pairings

To balance the heavy, textured look of Farasan, it is best paired with smoother surfaces:

• With Solids: Pair with Muidan or Folkstone Grey in a SupaMatt finish. The contrast between the rugged stone texture and the silky matte surface is a hallmark of modern luxury design.

• With Woodgrains: It looks exceptional next to warm, linear woodgrains like Arden or Natural Oak. The timber “softens” the coldness of the stone look.

• Hardware: Best suited to matte black hardware for a seamless industrial look, or brushed stainless steel to highlight the grey tones in the board.

Technical Specifications

• Core: Typically bonded to SupaWood (MDF) to support the depth of the SupaTexture embossing.

• Standard Size: 2750mm x 1830mm.

• Standard Thickness: 16mm is the standard for cabinetry.

• Durability: The surface is highly resistant to scratches and includes the standard PG Bison anti-bacterial properties.
