Collection Collects Coating Crown

14th October 2026

The Interpon Futura Collection has won the Finishes+Surfaces Paint & Coating category in The Architect’s Newspaper’s 2026 Best of Products Awards.

Selected by a jury of architects, designers and critics, the wards celebrate solutions that are shaping the built environment.

AkzoNobel Powder Coatings’ Interpon D2525 Futura 2026-2029 Collection brings together design influences and emerging architectural trends. It is designed to support commercial, residential, institutional and public projects, from understated facades to bold design statements.

The collection is organized around two complementary palettes:

High Serenity, a calm selection of nature-inspired hues, including warm stone, calming metals and quiet browns.
Bold Adventure, an energetic palette featuring earthy reds, regal blues and finishes that glisten and sparkle.

Together, the palettes give architects and designers flexibility to create distinctive spaces for work, leisure and relaxation.

Sustainability

Being a superdurable Interpon D2525 range, the collection sits within the Interpon Eco+ portfolio of advanced sustainable powder coatings. In Europe and North America, the range includes 15 Low-E colours, supporting curing at lower temperatures or faster line speeds, helping to reduce energy use and improve operational efficiency.

Bio-attributed raw materials are also utilised, helping customers make lower carbon choices without needing to specify a specialist or premium option.

Warranties

Futura 2026-2029 includes 50 superdurable bonded metallic powder coatings compliant with AAMA 2604, offers warranties of up to 20 years and is supported by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), which provide transparent, independently verified information about the environmental impacts of the relevant products across their life cycle.

Architect appeal

“Winning this recognition from The Architect’s Newspaper is a proud moment for everyone involved in the Futura Collection,” said Jeff Jirak, Business Unit Director, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings.

“It validates the way Futura brings together design, practical performance and sustainability. For architects and designers, the collection offers the confidence to specify expressive, durable finishes that are designed to perform for the long term.”
