This study of the material investigates the history of Resopal from its invention (it was trademarked in 1930) up through more recent innovations in plastic surface finishing. Almost a century after its conception, Resopal continues to offer almost unlimited possibilities for savvy designers - an endless diversity of tactile-aesthetic surfaces usable in almost any context.
