EN/FOLD
Interprint Unfolds New Potential at SICAM 2026
Visitors to INTERPRINT’s exhibition stand at SICAM 2026 in Pordenone were invited to see surfaces and design from an entirely new perspective. With EN/FOLD, the decor and surface specialist unveiled its latest Edition.
EN/FOLD is not about sudden change. It is about evolution. The Edition embraces current trends while taking them further, revealing their potential in new and unexpected ways.
The Japanese EN refers to the connections between people and objects, relationships that only unfold through individual interaction. FOLD describes the movement of transformation. Materials unfold space and shape its impact. After all, folding paper allows us to see things differently. A flat surface becomes a form. A form becomes a space. A space becomes an idea. New possibilities emerge for design. EN/FOLD combines playful seriousness with creative energy.
With this mindset, Interprint explored the defining megatrends of our time, interpreting and evolving them to reveal their true potential. Three creative lifestyle worlds featuring exceptional new decors and design developments marked the launch of EN/FOLD at SICAM.
NeoRomantic – The Poetry of Longing
A counterbalance to digital overstimulation? Without question.
Warm. Emotional. Sensory. Soft color gradients, emotional textures, atmospheric wood designs, and floral elements transform interiors into evocative, literary landscapes. A touch of romance here. A hint of melancholy there. And plenty of nostalgia in between. NeoRomantic creates meaning and offers an antidote to the loneliness often associated with modern digital life. It invites people to retreat, relax, and reconnect with themselves.
Prime Time – Live well. On purpose.
Spaces become wellness sanctuaries. Clean and clear.
Every surface is carefully selected, every material thoughtfully chosen. Nothing is left to chance. Functionality meets warmth. People no longer invest only in their health. They extend their desire for a more conscious lifestyle to walls, interiors, and even kitchen surfaces. Health and longevity have become the status symbols of our time. Interprint's stone, wood, and creative decors express the new healthy and regenerative aesthetic of Prime Time. Structures that can be felt. At the centre of attention: Sustainable & Conscious Materials. The desire for greater sustainability is shaping the future.
The Grand – Drama, Baby!
The cultural zeitgeist has made its choice: opulent generosity in interior design is making a comeback.
More and more people want their home to be the most inspiring space they enter all day. Rich. Warm. Vibrant. Heaviness instead of lightness. This is reflected in the materials as well. Dark woods full of character. Stone with depth and weight. Surfaces with personality. Identity is created through the conscious and meaningful selection of interiors. The atmosphere is dramatic, yet deeply personal. At a time when the world is becoming increasingly uniform, The Grand opens the door to a world of the extraordinary.
Pick Your Green!
4 Sustainable Paper Alternatives
With these global sustainability ambitions in mind, Interprint introduced “Pick Your Green!” - four sustainable paper alternatives for both analog and digital decor printing. All verified. All tested.
-
Cradle to Cradle® Certified Paper by Cartiere di Guarcino
Interprint can provide Cradle to Cradle® certification for the specialty paper produced by Cartiere di Guarcino. At SICAM, the paper was showcased with the decors Rookwood Oak and Merlot Oak. Visually, it is virtually indistinguishable from standard decor paper, demonstrating that sustainability does not require compromise.
-
Recycled Paper by Felix Schoeller
The recycled paper from Felix Schoeller offers a significantly reduced environmental footprint, with up to 25% lower CO₂ emissions compared to standard decor paper. Print quality remains outstanding and the visual appearance premium, as demonstrated at SICAM with the decor Midnight. Excellent lightfastness and consistent surface properties impressed even the most critical buyers.
-
Silphie Paper by Felix Schoeller
Silphie is a plant cultivated in Germany for biogas production, grown regionally and with minimal resource consumption. Unused plant fibers remaining after harvest form the basis of an innovative paper developed by Felix Schoeller. Visible fibers create a distinctive, natural aesthetic that pairs perfectly with the texture and visual irregularities of decors such as Memy.
-
Second Harvest Paper by Felix Schoeller New Materials
The premium Second Harvest Paper produced by China-based Felix Schoeller New Materials makes use of agricultural residues from fast-growing plants that would otherwise be burned, generating harmful emissions. No additional crops are grown specifically for decor printing. Instead, existing renewable resources are utilized efficiently and sustainably. A pure expression of the zero-waste principle, showcased at SICAM with the popular Tailor Oak decor.
Strong Through Collaboration
Alongside its latest decors, INTERPRINT also showcased edge-banding solutions from its partners MKT, REHAU, and Schilsner, creating a harmonious overall design concept down to the smallest detail.
The tactile enhancement of surfaces was achieved through press plates from Sesa, HUECK, and FLAI. These technologies transfer structures onto decors, making wood grains, stone reliefs, and other textures not only visible but tangible. Visual appearance and tactile experience worked together in perfect harmony.
New décors also met innovative technologies from parent company TOPPAN. With Dualsurf, surfaces become digital experience platforms, allowing decor films to integrate and play digital content. Meanwhile, Mokumetrix uses artificial intelligence to analyze how decors are perceived, delivering data-driven insights, audience-specific evaluations, and a glimpse into the future of design development.
