Murumuru Collection by Durat: Redefining Sustainable Solid Surfaces

If you have followed CaraGreen’s curated materials, you know our affinity for Durat solid surfaces. This Finnish manufacturer has mastered the art of upcycling, transforming post-consumer recycled plastic into high-end solid surfaces that transcend their humble origins.

Their latest release, the Murumuru collection, introduces a speckled, vibrant aesthetic to the solid surface with an obvious nod to its recycled roots. Far from the clinical look of traditional mainstream solid surface, Durat’s Murumuru collection lets designers step out of the monotone box when it comes to using seamless, modern solid surface.

What is the Murumuru Collection?

In Finnish, muru translates to "little crumb" or "fragment." This name is a literal reference to the recycled speckles that define Durat’s new solid surface family.

This wide ranging color collection features everything from sunny yellows, to forest green, bold blues, and beyond. Modern design is moving away from the hospital-white minimalism of the last decade, and the Murumuru palette aligns with those trends by bringing all colors to the table. 

For architects and designers looking for high-performance LEED-contributing materials, Murumuru provides a robust technical resume:

• Circular Economy Composition: Each sheet of solid surface contains up to 28% post-consumer recycled plastic and remains 100% recyclable at the end of its life cycle.

• Durability and Maintenance: The material is non-porous and seamless, making it an ideal specification for high-traffic commercial interiors, schools and healthcare environments.

• Tactile Comfort: Unlike cold stone, Durat is silky and warm to the touch, enhancing the user experience in residential or hospitality settings.

• No Crystalline Silica: As with all solid surface, Durat does not contain harmful crystalline silica, which is found in quartz and natural stone and can cause health issues during improper fabrication.

The Murumuru collection is now available through CaraGreen. As the industry shifts toward crystalline silica-free and circular materials, Durat stands out as a surface with both a personality and a conscience.
