Retro Formica worktops

We are redesigning our kitchen from scratch as part of an extension and are going for a “non modern” look. So, parquet floors, crittal-style windows, no spots, no gloss finishes etc. I would love to have an old fashioned Formica (or valchromat or fenix) worktop in a retro design like cracked ice/boomerang/linen. I can’t find anywhere in the UK that supplies these. From scouring retro renovation blogs it seems you can still get these in the US but it’s a bit of a gamble.

Does anyone know where it might be possible to source something along these lines?

This is the sort of thing I’m after heffrons.com/retro/swatches/laminates.html.

Did you look at the link I added above?

The dancing lines and mini mode are very much in the same vein as the ones you are looking for.

Yes, thanks. I think I’ve gone through every line in that link but nothing there is quite what I’m looking for. There seems to be much more of an appetite in the US for this. I did find one place that might have some leftover Formica in boomerang but that’s the closest I’ve got.
