Dulux, Sri Lanka’s leading manufacturer of paints and coatings, is celebrating the successful close of its participation at Architect 2023, also taking home an award for the Best Trade Stall with Innovative Use of Colour.

Organised by the Sri Lanka Institute of Architects (SLIA) and now in its 41st year, this year’s edition of the Architect 2023 annual trade fair took place from February 24-26, at the BMICH and witnessed greater participation from leading companies and entrepreneurs actively involved in the various construction and architecture sectors, both locally and internationally.

Dulux established a strong presence at the event, with a spectacular exhibit themed Colour Futures ’23, featuring its 2023 Colour of the Year: Wild Wonder. The visitors to the stand were able to explore the four-colour palettes, Lush, Buzz, Raw and Flow, inspired by the nature-influenced theme, with Dulux colour experts on hand providing unique trade insight and also advising visitors on how best the shades can be implemented into their own work and living spaces.  The popular mascot ‘Dulux Dog’ was also present to playfully engage with exhibition attendees and brighten up the vibrant Dulux stall even further. The Dulux exhibit proved widely popular among attendees to Architect 2023, due to its powerful display of colour in both interior and exterior spaces. 

“Architect 2023 was a great opportunity for Dulux to learn from fellow trade professionals and also to introduce visitors to the latest trends and insights from the global paints and coatings landscape,” said AkzoNobel Paints Sri Lanka Head of Marketing Upendra Gunawardhana. 

“We’ve maintained a strong longstanding relationship with the SLIA and have every intention of being back again next year as well.”
