News: PWS Expands Stone-Inspired Surface Offering
KBB distributor PWS has relaunched its UNITY made-to-measure furniture collection, introducing a new structure organised around five material-led décor categories, including an expanded range of stone-effect surfaces.
Based in County Durham, PWS supplies kitchens, bedrooms and components to independent retailers across the UK. The relaunch reflects growing demand for contemporary interior finishes, with the company restructuring its previous made-to-measure offer of 54 décors into five collections: ESSEN, LINEA, METARA, NURA and ROCCA.

Of particular interest is ROCCA, a collection of stone-inspired décors developed around the growing popularity of architectural and material-led interiors. The range includes concrete and cement-effect finishes such as Hayward Concrete, Trellick Concrete, Banham Concrete, Mocha Cemento and Fumo Cemento, offering designers a textured alternative to plain-colour furniture fronts.
The stone-effect surfaces have been designed to work alongside metallic, woodgrain and uni-colour décors across the wider UNITY collection, reflecting a broader trend towards layered material palettes in residential interiors. Available in both lay-on and handleless formats, the collection is intended for use across kitchens, bedrooms and living spaces.

Alongside ROCCA, the relaunch includes the NURA woodgrain collection, featuring reeded, linear and charred timber effects, and METARA, a series of metallic-effect décors inspired by brushed and oxidised metal finishes. The LINEA collection brings together matt and gloss uni-colours, while ESSEN forms the core range with a selection of everyday woodgrain and plain-colour finishes.
The move comes as manufacturers continue to expand the range of decorative surface materials available to furniture makers and interior designers. Advances in texture, print technology and surface treatments have enabled engineered boards and laminates to more closely replicate the appearance and tactile qualities of natural materials, including stone, timber and metal.

Laura Valliant, Product Development Manager at PWS, said the relaunch was intended to make the company's made-to-measure offer easier to specify while responding to changing design preferences. “By reorganising the range into clearly defined décor collections, we're making it easier for retailers and designers to specify coordinated modern interiors while giving them access to a broader mix of on-trend colours, textures and finishes,” she said.

The updated UNITY range continues to offer bespoke sizing, angled door solutions and drilling services, allowing retailers to create customised furniture schemes across a variety of residential applications.
While the relaunch spans a broad range of decorative finishes, the introduction of an expanded stone-effect collection reflects the continued influence of mineral-inspired surfaces within contemporary interior design, where concrete, cement and stone aesthetics remain a popular specification choice.
