AkzoNobel Powder Coatings has launched the new superdurable Interpon D2525 Futura 2026-2029 Collection, now available across Europe and North America.

Inspired by the enduring appeal of classic design and shaped by the bold direction of modern architecture, the collection combines expressive finishes, advanced textures and a forward-looking vision for the built environment.

Developed to reflect where architectural colour and surface design are heading, the Futura 2026-2029 Collection provides architects and designers with a contemporary toolkit to create on-trend spaces for work, leisure and relaxation.

These finishes are designed not only to meet current aesthetic demands but also to stand the test of time in performance and visual impact.

A fusion of past influence and future ambition

An iconic cornerstone in architectural design for more than two decades, Futura has consistently guided the industry’s approach to colour, finish and material expression.

The 2026-2029 Collection builds on this legacy with two carefully curated palettes that connect generations of design within a single creative language. Both palettes are supported by long-lasting performance engineered to endure time, weather and wear in demanding environments.

High Serenity offers soft, nature-inspired hues including warm stone, calming metallics and understated browns. These tones are designed to elevate architectural spaces through subtle texture and refined elegance, making them ideal for projects where calmness and longevity are key design drivers.

Bold Adventure introduces energy and momentum through dynamic colours that glisten and sparkle. Featuring earthy reds, regal blues and striking finishes, this palette is created to inspire confidence and exploration, supporting more expressive and visually impactful architectural concepts.

Jorrit van Rijn, Global Marketing Director at AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, says:
“Futura has always helped architects express their vision with a superdurability that can withstand demanding climates. This new collection blends heritage design inspiration with ideas that push concepts forward, giving customers colors and finishes that feel both timeless and completely fresh.”

By combining heritage with innovation, the collection enables architects to respond to evolving design trends while maintaining consistency with proven materials and finishes.

Sustainability built in as a standard

Sustainability is embedded at the core of every colour in the Futura 2026-2029 Collection. Alongside its recognised superdurability which extends product lifecycles, the entire range now features Low-E curing technology and bio-attributed raw materials as standard across products manufactured in the EMEA region.

Low-E curing technology enables coatings to cure at lower temperatures or at faster line speeds. This helps manufacturers reduce energy consumption, improve production efficiency and lower operational costs without compromising coating performance or finish quality.

Bio-attributed raw materials contribute to a reduced carbon footprint, supporting the growing need for sustainable solutions that are not only environmentally responsible but also practical, scalable and high performing for real-world industrial use.

“Sustainable coating choices should not come at a higher cost or as a specialist option,” says Van Rijn. “But simply the way high-performance architectural coatings should be made: efficient, responsible, and ready for the future.”

Part of the Interpon Eco+ portfolio

The built-in sustainability credentials of the Futura Collection place it firmly within the Interpon Eco+ portfolio, AkzoNobel’s most advanced and rigorously tested range of sustainable powder coatings. This portfolio reflects a value-driven approach to sustainability, focusing on delivering measurable benefits across performance, efficiency and environmental impact.

Futura aligns with Interpon’s philosophy of providing solutions that perform effectively on the production line, reduce energy usage and support long-lasting architectural design without requiring compromise from customers.

“Futura brings our Own Your Impact approach to life,” Van Rijn says. “By embedding sustainability and performance as standard, it delivers practical, tangible benefits that help architects and fabricators make responsible choices with confidence and aligned with the future they want to create.”

“Our Futura 2026-2029 Collection shows what we stand for: inspiring design grounded in heritage, built with the future in mind, and delivered with sustainability as standard. We believe responsible choices should come naturally – without incurring higher costs and never at the expense of durability, beauty, or performance.”

Supporting the future of architectural design

With its fusion of contemporary colour trends, technical excellence and responsible innovation, the Futura 2026-2029 Collection provides architects, specifiers and fabricators with a powerful platform to shape the next generation of building design.

As sustainability regulations tighten and expectations around energy efficiency and lifecycle performance increase across the UK and Europe, solutions such as Interpon D2525 Futura offer a practical pathway to achieving both aesthetic and environmental goals. The combination of superdurable finishes, energy-saving curing technology and reduced carbon materials ensures the collection is well aligned with modern construction and refurbishment demands.

By integrating performance, design flexibility and sustainability as standard, the collection supports a future where architectural coatings are not only visually compelling but also operationally efficient and environmentally responsible.
