most innovative ideas

Innovative, elegant and long lasting

The kitchen is the heart of the family.

Functionality, comfort and aesthetics are

the cornerstones of every kitchen.

HI-MACS® has been designed to help

you organise your time in the kitchen,

and to make daily life easier.

Material with exceptional properties,

indispensable for the kitchen

HI-MACS® stands out in every project for

its elegance, functionality, technology

and creative flexibility and allows the

development of projects that have no

limits.

Acrylic stone can be transformed into

any shape, creating an infinite range of

designs and exclusive finishes. The wide

range of colours, its translucency, its

thermoforming properties, its hard

wearing nature, the ease with which it

can be manipulated and cut and its

uniformity are all features that allow this

stone to be worked like wood.

Thanks to its versatility and its

thermoforming properties, HI-MACS® is

essential for meeting the needs of

functionality and design in a kitchen. Its

smooth, non-porous surface makes it

easy to clean and ensures a high degree

of resistance to heat and everyday

disinfectants. The kitchen is thus totally

aseptic and particularly suitable for

contact with food, resistant to humidity,

stains, scratches and liquid penetration.

Another advantage of HI-MACS® is its

virtually endless range of colours, with

fine, brilliant and extremely elegant

textures that are immediately pleasing to

the eye.





In using extremely bold pop colours, the ISLAND PURE kitchen island is a perfect

balance between elegance and innovation. Its original charm and attention to detail go

flawlessly with the most avant-garde interior designs. The energetic colour of HI-

MACS® Banana is used on the entire worktop as well as the breakfast bar shelf. Small

lamps create beautiful lighting behind the smooth curves of the island and keep the

Minimal Art aspect intact.

THE SKY IS THE LIMIT Kitchen Island is a true work of art. When all of the doors are

closed, the technical aspect of the island disappears, creating the shape of a cloud in

the sky or spaceship in outer space. Its blue lines contrast to resemble the white

contrails of an airplane in the blue sky. Thanks to the flexibility of HI-MACS® new

generation acrylic stone, it was possible to incorporate an induction cooktop, two

sinks, a tap and four drawers into the island. The top of the island unit, which opens

and closes electronically by remote control, reveals a ductless range extractor. The

bright HI-MACS® Lucent Opal sideboard reinforces this kitchen’s innovative and

stylish features. Finally, a slightly indented table is located on the opposite side of the

work area for casual meals and general relaxation.

Thanks to the properties of acrylic stone, the Air kitchen by deVOL reflects the best of

the last and current centuries, with a style that is both classic and timeless. The

wooden structure blends with laminated aluminium end panels covering the HI-

MACS® doors. Its functionality can be seen in its drawers and kitchen doors, with their

handy, easy opening system.

Paxmann.Design develops projects with no limits. This is why it has chosen HI-

MACS®, to create a luxurious, futuristic kitchen that combines forms and proportions

with technical and electronic devices in a uniform manner. Its bold lines defy the laws

of physics and gravity, thanks to an angular surface that floats above the ground and

hides drawers without handles that open and close automatically.

branches, creating a welcoming, peaceful atmosphere ideal for cooking.

Day after day, HI-MACS® is becoming the perfect material for the design of indoor

spaces, thanks to its hardwearing nature and the delicacy of every corner and curve.

This minimalist kitchen by Simone Piva has all these features and its pale white colour

blends perfectly with other materials and objects.

With its solid, natural appearance Kantoorloft enriches a space with fun and colour. Its

rounded edges and compact size create functionality together with design and

originality. The use of HI-MACS® has allowed gentle finishes, enhanced by the shades

of the kitchen and the structure and shape of the cupboard doors.

In redesigning this bright, spacious loft situated in the heart of Vienna, the 36 m²

kitchen has become the meeting point and communication area for the family of 5 that

lives there. The island, which extends into a dining table, has a fluid design and is

made entirely of HI-MACS®. The Alpine White shade of the whole kitchen, including

the drawers, gives a feeling of cleanliness and hygiene that is fundamental in a large

family kitchen.

A minimalist outline and simple shape are the features of this kitchen made exclusively

of HI-MACS®, a material with unique technology and detailing capability. The white

colour enhances the elegance of a kitchen that combines fascinating solutions for

storage with innovative work surfaces. The convex and concave modules make this

kitchen unique, giving it a playful touch but also guaranteeing an excellent ergonomic

quality and rendering it totally functional. The S-shaped base gives enough space for a

comfortable use of the hob and the sink, which combine perfectly with the work

surface.

The kitchens Kook and Karan, designed by Karim Rashid for Aran Cucine, are an

example of simplicity and originality with a futuristic design. In the Kook model, the

work surface made of acrylic stone is approx. 90 cm deep: the perfect place for all the

latest generation household appliances. LED lighting created a sophisticated

environment with a brilliant appearance. The Karan model enhances the dining area

with its gentle curves. Both kitchens are the result of optimal design, thanks to HI-

MACS® properties and material.

Located in the famous Het Eilandje area of Antwerp, this loft is as elegant inside as it

is outside, thanks to its curved facade designed by Joke Holvoet. Elegance is a

feature in all the spaces in the home, which interact and are enhanced by the quality

materials used for their construction, like durmast and latest generation HI-MACS®

acrylic stone. The large work surface is joined to the table thanks to the properties of

acrylic stone, which makes both homogeneous and uniform. The asymmetric shape of

the kitchen makes it one of the most striking spaces in the home and it perfectly

complements the surrounding spaces.

WHAT IS HI-MACS®?

A new generation acrylic stone, HI-MACS® is a material that is designed and produced by LG HAUSYS, a world

leader in the technology sector, and distributed by LG HAUSYS EUROPE, based in Geneva (Switzerland).

Due to its thermoformable properties, its wide range of colours, its translucency and the invisible joins, HI-MACS®

is able to provide an infinite number of designs and exclusive finishings. Moreover, this material can be worked as

easily as wood as it is easy to handle and to cut.

As regards hygiene, HI-MACS® does not absorb humidity and is highly resistant to stains. Its smooth and non-

porous surface means that it is not penetrated by liquids. Completely sterile, this material is easy to clean and to

repair.

Unlike other similar materials on the market, HI-MACS® is the first Solid Surface to enjoy official European

Technical Approval (ETA) for façades – for Alpine White S728 colour – which was awarded by the European

Organisation for Technical Approvals (EOTA).

During the manufacturing process, HI-MACS® is heated to very high temperatures by means of an advanced

firing heat treatment. This procedure makes HI-MACS® different from other types of acrylic stone, giving it better

uniformity and making it more resistant to shocks and UV rays.

Acrylic stone provides infinite possibilities for personalised designs and inspires professionals from all over the

world. Zaha Hadid, Jean Nouvel, Rafael Moneo, Karim Rashid and David Chipperfield, among others, have

completed fabulous projects using HI-MACS®, from kitchens to bathrooms, including decorative items, in hotels

as well as in museums, shopping centres and on external façades.

HI-MACS® is available in around 100 different colours in various ranges; Solids, Granite, Sand, Pearl & Quartz,

Volcanics, Lucent, Eden, Galaxy and Marmo, in different thicknesses of 3, 6, 9 and 12 mm, depending on the

shade. HI-MACS® holds a number of international certifications with regard to the environment, hygiene and fire

resistance, such as ISO 9001 and 14001, Greenguard, NSF, LGA and IMO MED certification (Modules B and D),

among others.

HI-MACS® stands out for its excellent quality service, guaranteed by its Quality Club programme, consisting of a

network of expert manufacturers and approved distributors across Europe. HI-MACS® offers the longest

guarantee service on the market: 15 years.
