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 [...]
Placage is a bespoke wood veneer collection, available in five striped patterns, from subtle to vibrant, in varying widths. Made from wood veneer with MDF or Placorex backing, this ASI Wood Panel product offers several striking design choices in two panel sizes, and is perfect for all millwork applications including [...]
To make Organics, 3form laminates various organic materials between sheets of partially recycled polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) obtained from postindustrial sources. The company collaborates closely with artisans in Nepal, Vietnam, and Indonesia to select and process materials such as bamboo and banana fibers. These materials are first prepared using techniques [...]
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 [...]
Wood.e is essentially electrified wood. Furniture made of Wood.e, with an electrical current of 12V, permits one to easily plug in different applications (plug and play). Wood.e is a built-up composite comprised by plywood and two integrated conducting layers. These layers allow for unprecedented possibilities for sound, light, and motion [...]
Rapidly renewable timber is used to create Architectural Systems’s Ecotextures, architectural panels crafted from environmentally friendly oriented strand board (OSB). Durable and shrink resistant, Ecotextures panels have a distinctive grain and are appropriate for millwork, feature walls, column covers, fixtures, and furniture. No urea-formaldehydes are used, and component lumber is [...]
Made from reclaimed coconut shells, low-VOC resins and sustainably-harvested wood backer material, Kirei Coco Tiles may be used as decorative tiles or panels both horizontally and vertically. Featuring multiple pattern and color combinations and available in light, dark and mixed textures, the coconut shell tiles create a variety of surfaces [...]
BBS are structural solid wood panels made of sustainably harvested, fast-growth soft wood. By laminating longitudinal and cross layers (X-LAM), the natural forces of the wood (e.g. expanding, contracting, bending) are minimized to achieve great strength and stability. The panels are used primarily for structure, but can also provide a [...]
Dukta is a timber forming system that uses precise incisions to impart flexibility. Developed by Christian Kuhn and Serge Lunin, the method allows stiff wood panels to be easily shaped in three dimensions. The near rubbery flexibility is achieved with staggered, regularly arranged incisions. Different cutting options expand the scope [...]
Kraftplex combines the characteristics of metal, composite materials and plastics. Comprised by 100% unbleached wood fibers with no added binders or adhesives, it is a stable, flexible and durably-shapeable metal akin to metal sheets. Because Kraftplex has electrically-isolating properties, it is a good alternative to conventional plastic sheeting. It is [...]
