INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION 1 This is a story about surfaces those that tell stories of the minutiae of a lifetime. The most powerful stories are ones that evoke all our senses how we feel, what we hear, see and touch. This is what we aim to do to bring you on a journey though time, place, and memory. You'll feel the damp forest, the crisp wintry climes, the cool touch of marble, the hushed cocoon of luxury, and the powdery feel of raw concrete and tell your own tale through them.

CONTENTS CONTENTS 61-80 Life's little luxuries Oh, to live in a palace built with luxurious marble, to feel the coolness of its surface, and its familiar solidity. Enjoy life by appreciating what nature has to offer. 2 3-20 By nature's way We are in awe of trees. These towering observers of time silently record each day with every knot, whorl and wave of their grain. 81-100 Marked by time The mottling of rusted metal and the indentations on stone bring to mind the cool touch of metal on skin, and the tactility of stone. 21-40 Hotel hideaway When the world gets too much, we crave anonymity, and security under a cloak of darkness. But it doesn't have to be cold organic textures lift the gloom and offer a soothing and comforting space. 41-60 A winter's tale White wintry landscapes, paired with a bracing chill in the air, wake up the senses. The season of cold, as well as comfort, has white-washed hues that are clean and serene. 101-116 When time stood still Rose-tinted glasses make us look fondly upon designs from the past. Colours, patterns and styles have the power to conjure up memories of people, places and feelings. 117 Epilogue 118-119 Partner stores 120 Credits and contact

EPILOGUE The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, but you don't have to leave your home to travel. Taking inspiration from all four corners of the globe, Jansen Tan director of product and branding at Lamitak, and an intrepid traveller has conceptualised a collection of high-pressure laminates (HPL) that bring the world to every armchair traveller. Journal is about surfaces that tell stories evoking the unparalleled craftsmanship of the finest bespoke menswear brand, the beautiful beech forests of Japan, and the unique veining of rare marble. But the appeal isn t just skin-deep. Feel the coolness of metal, the warmth of wood, the brush of fabric against skin, and the uneven texture of stone. These surfaces not only represent a snapshot in time; they also bring forth a lifetime of stories. EPILOGUE & CORPORATE PROFILE 117 CORPORATE PROFILE Established in 2001 in Singapore, Lamitak has offices and representatives in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Indonesia, Australia, Hong Kong, Myanmar and the Philippines. So what makes Lamitak so special? It s a self-reflective question that says much about the essence of the brand which is to be challenging, bold, and to always aim for something more. This question is applied to Lamitak s new designs, its processes and services. It s what keeps Lamitak designs at the forefront of trends in fashion and lifestyle.
