For years, Starbucks’ “You Are Here” collection – the vibrant, city and state-specific mugs and collectible items – has captured the hearts of coffee lovers and travel enthusiasts alike. The intricate designs showcase iconic landmarks, local culture, and the unique spirit of each destination. ARCLIN Surfaces recognized the potential to extend that beloved aesthetic beyond the mug, offering a way to incorporate these treasured memories into the very fabric of homes and businesses. “We’ve been fans of the ‘You Are Here’ collection for a long time,” explains a spokesperson for ARCLIN Surfaces. “The designs are just so… happy! They evoke a sense of wanderlust and a connection to places we love. We thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be amazing to see these designs on countertops, backsplashes, even furniture?’ And that’s exactly what we’ve done.” What Does This Mean? ARCLIN Surfaces is now offering a range of surfacing materials featuring digitally reproduced designs from the Starbucks “You Are Here” collection. This isn’t just a printed surface; ARCLIN leverages cutting-edge technology to embed the designs directly into durable materials like quartz, solid surface, and even specialized acrylics. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect: Materials: The “You Are Here” designs are available on a variety of ARCLIN’s flagship products. This includes their high-performance quartz surfaces – known for their strength, durability, and low maintenance – as well as their smooth, seamless solid surface options, perfect for creating custom shapes and designs. Specialized acrylic options are also available for unique applications. Designs: The initial launch features a curated selection of popular city and state designs from the Starbucks “You Are Here” collection.

Durability & Quality: ARCLIN doesn't just slap a picture on a surface. They use a specialized process to ensure the designs are deeply embedded into the material, making them resistant to scratches, stains, and fading. The surfaces are also non-porous and easy to clean, making them ideal for high-traffic areas. Customization: While the initial launch features pre-selected designs, ARCLIN also offers custom options.
