Hexscreen explores the geometry of the hexagon and constructs its simple pattern using repeated identical rods of stainless steel. Inspired by mathematical sequences and natural growth patterns, Hexscreen achieves a visually-stimulating effect with a minimum of materials. Hexscreen panels can span from a floor to a ceiling or be wall-mounted. [...]

A significant portion of building construction is made of opaque or light-reducing materials that require artificial lighting. Not only does artificial lighting expend the use of energy and materials, but it also adds to the heating load of structures and requires more cooling during the summer months. Mirror Duct System [...]

Preferred for its ability to deliver transparency and views, glass has typically been appreciated for its ability to nearly disappear; its use in modern commercial applications may be described to be anonymous. Recently, however, glass has been examined and researched for its ability to obscure, refract, and hold light with [...]

As the early alchemists sought to turn common lead into precious gold and silver, Lamin-Art’s catalyst material transforms common HPL into a versatile and durable decorative surface with a notable luster. The Catalyst collection features a hand-crafted, spiral-etched dimensional finish that re-creates the brilliance and texture of brushed metal. Unlike [...]
EVA is a common hot-melt adhesive or hot glue. Tony Wurman has developed several proprietary techniques for working with this material to give it the reflective and refractive qualities of glass, but with the modulation of rubber and longevity of plastic. In their explorations, Wunderwurks Design has been able to [...]
Tropical Veneer Collection consists of handcrafted veneer materials from South America, featuring rapidly renewable and commonly occurring materials, such as coconut and totumo shell, plantain bark, tagua seed, and pearlstone. These products are combined with medium-density fiberboard (MDF) and resins to create stable panels. Different colored resins can be used [...]
DoubleFace is a semi-transparent fabric with one side comprised of stainless steel and the other made of polyester. This hybrid quality allows the creation of particular light effects with reflective metal offset by a colored background. DoubleFace is highly drapable and can be molded around various objects. The fabric is [...]
Found Space Tiles transform the common into the uncommon. Designers Stephanie Davidson and Georg Rafailidis developed the tiles after seeking greater possibilities within a conventional tiled surface. Much like appropriating found objects, these tiles are made using the found spaces between bodies and architectural surfaces, turned into positive forms. The [...]
