Pearlescent is the new decorative textile interlayer for Varia, the formable translucent resin material from 3form. Defined by a soft, pearl-like shimmer and subtle shifts in color, Pearlescent brings depth, movement, and a luminous quality to architectural surfaces. Available in six standard colorways, White, Lemon, Petal, Midnight (shown here), Surf, and Sea, Pearlescent pairs a white iridescent textile with 3form color film on either side. Designed to capture and reflect passing light, the material creates a visual effect that evolves as the viewer, lighting conditions, or viewing angle changes, while maintaining Varia’s translucency and ability to support visual privacy.

“Pearlescent is really about creating an experience with light and color that changes as you move through a space,” said Ryan Smith, Chief Creative Officer at 3form. “There’s a softness to the shimmer that gives the material presence without overwhelming its surroundings. It allows designers to introduce something expressive and dynamic while still feeling highly considered architecturally.”
