Sibertin-Blanc has used various colours, materials and new generation of acrylic stone for the project. In close collaboration with the processing studio, Design & Creation, the designer has chosen HI-MACS, a material that can be thermoformed like wood, ensuring that the end products are resistant and robust, despite the delicacy of their characteristics. As a non-porous material, Solid Surface HI-MACS is also warm and pleasant to touch.
The designer has created the objects with geometric shapes by keeping a balance between warm and cold colours. The collection for the exhibition comprises of a console, a mirror and a neon light.
Borrowing from Japanese influences, the console is a minimalist assembly of five simple and clean-lined compartments. Each part has different dimensions bringing movement and rhythm to the finished product. Using the non-porous thermoformed Solid surface HI-MACS with no visible joints, the item is presented as a harmonious whole, which is claimed to be shock-resistant, scratch-resistant and durable.
The item also takes on an almost transparent aspect because of its delicate panels, which are only 12 milimetre thick. The items are created using the the new generation of acrylic stone. Colour is one of the major themes of the items that have been created by the designer for this exhibition and HI-MACS has used red, green, grey, black and white compartments.
Using the HI-MACS Alpine White, the mirror is constructed in the form of three geometric shapes superimposed on each other, surrounding the central mirror. The effect of dynamic movement that it generates can provide a sense of rhythm to the room. To design the mirror, Sibertin-Blanc has used bright white acrylic stone and the mirror, forming a contrast.
The neon light reproduces the same shape as that of the mirror, but in this format the central mirror is absent. The designer uses HI-MACS acrylic stone as a support for the blue, red and yellow neons. When they are lit, the three primary colours combine, as in the plastic arts, to form an intense black at the centre. Sibertin-Blanc has used pop colours in this case, which offers a retro ambiance of 80s.
