Licorice Groovz

Licorice Groovz Arauco Prism Thermally Fused Laminate (TFL) by DesignOneSource is a pinnacle of modern architectural surfacing, designed for those who want to make a bold, sophisticated statement in contemporary interior design. As a premier selection within the innovative Arauco Prism collection, Licorice Groovz combines a deep, midnight-black palette with a striking linear texture, offering architects, interior designers, and custom millworkers a high-performance material that challenges the boundaries of traditional surface aesthetics. This TFL product is engineered to deliver a powerful visual impact while providing the industrial-grade durability and environmental sustainability required for the most demanding commercial and residential environments.

The visual profile of Licorice Groovz is defined by its saturated, ink-black color and its distinctive “Groovz” texture. This linear grain pattern creates a rhythmic interplay of shadow and light, adding architectural height and a sense of movement to any application. Unlike flat black surfaces that can sometimes feel cold or two-dimensional, the textured finish of Licorice Groovz provides a multi-dimensional look that captures interest from every angle. This “noir” aesthetic is particularly effective in luxury retail, high-end hospitality design, and tech-forward office spaces where the goal is to create an atmosphere of sophisticated drama and modern permanence. It serves as an incredible high-contrast anchor when paired with light wood grains, metallic accents, or vibrant primary colors.

From a technical performance perspective, Licorice Groovz Arauco Prism TFL far exceeds the capabilities of painted or stained wood. The manufacturing process involves the thermal fusion of resin-saturated decorative paper directly onto a premium industrial-grade substrate, typically particleboard or MDF. This creates a permanent, monolithic bond that is exceptionally resistant to scratches, scuffs, impacts, and moisture. Because the surface is non-porous and chemically resilient, it is an ideal specification for environments where hygiene and maintenance are paramount, such as boutique hotel bars, corporate reception desks, and high-use retail fixtures. It can be cleaned and disinfected repeatedly without compromising the integrity of the deep black finish, offering a luxury look with significantly lower lifecycle maintenance costs.

Sustainability is a core component of the Licorice Groovz TFL production story. DesignOneSource is dedicated to providing surfacing solutions that protect both the user and the planet.
