The Slinky Stool represents an exploration of the structural properties of knitted fabric. Designers Nicola Lagan and Tom Price developed a three-dimensional polypropylene yarn construction that expands and contracts freely, naturally suggesting the form and use of an adjustable stool with its cylindrical shape and vertical orientation and movement. Lagan’s [...]

The Cellscreen is a simple mathematical honeycomb panel crafted from crisp lightweight aluminum. It is a cellular filter structure which explores rhythm, repetition, and sequence. Intending to achieve visual density and decorative effect with a minimum of means, designers Korban Flaubert generated the cellscreen from the simplest geometry, using a [...]

Kozo decorative surface panels feature vibrant natural fibers encapsulated in translucent acrylic and are ideal for backlit vertical installations. Potential applications include store fixtures, feature walls, cabinetry, trim, signage and thermo-formed shapes. The Kozo collection is offered in 16 dynamic colors and patterns with a gloss standard finish (matte available). [...]

Crystallized Glass Stone tiles and slabs are engineered from glass materials to create a high-density, heat and wear-resistant product for wall surfaces, flooring, and countertops. The smooth, non-porous surface is luminous and subtly reflective creating a monolithic aesthetic as a creative alternative to stone. Crystallized Glass Stone is available in [...]

The PLANKS are the result of collaboration between artist Henrik Menné and scientist Anna Vallgårda as an exploration into the aesthetic potential of computational composites. Comprised of wood boards and electronic circuitry on a supporting frame, PLANKS responds to local stimuli as an experiment in animating architectural enclosures. When the [...]

Spinneybeck’s Recycled Leather is taken from shoe-sole scraps, ground up and mixed with a water-based adhesive that acts as a binder. The resulting compound is used as the backer for the Spinneybeck leather tiles. These tiles can be used in a wide range of vertical and upholstery applications and are [...]

UltraGlas Taffeta features a subtle and durable embossed texture on the exposed surface. Many designs may be specified with embossed textures for a more tactile and rustic appearance, or in a debossed orientation with the texture or design on the number two side, for a smoother, more glassy exposed surface. [...]

The devastating power of hurricanes has had a memorable impact in recent years, and damage caused by windborne debris has destroyed many commercial structures. Alcoa has developed a new hurricane-resistant panel made with DuPont Kevlar—a material five times as strong as steel by weight. Reynobond with Kevlar adds a thin [...]

Geometric Structure Cushions are porous skeletal structures that can be flattened and return to their original form. Developed by London-based Lauren Moriarty using digital-fabrication techniques, each structure is designed virtually before it is laser cut and hand finished. The cushions are made from ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and are fabricated [...]
