The stand showed three flowing examples of thermoformed desks or merchandise stand-alone units, a sinuous display to highlight individual pieces which was located next to a colourful collection of HI-MACS® sample shades, a dramatic open "wall" showing a highly technical HI-MACS® CNC routed pattern, and a backlit area with a mission statement etched into the back – displaying the translucent properties of HI-MACS®. In fact the entire stand was made of HI-MACS® with the exception of the floor.
Also on show were three of the new LUCIA colour collection, boasting a subtle combination of depth and playful tone-on-tone colours. This new collection includes five colours of which the three at the exhibition were the ones created by designer Marcel Wanders: Ice Queen, Shadow Queen and Star Queen. This range of colour, and countless combinations to experiment with, provides an opportunity to create enticing, distinctive projects that people never tire of admiring, and which achieve a truly bespoke look.
Ideal for shop design as well as architectural and interior applications, such as sculptural and high performance wall-cladding, HI-MACS® brings you a modern acrylic stone that leaves nothing beyond the realms of possibility. Be it for interior or exterior design, this tactile, durable, non-porous, waterproof material combines aesthetics and functionality to meet your every criteria. And for those looking to make their mark on the corporate world, logos can be simply and easily applied to or cut into the material.
HI-MACS® is composed of natural minerals, acrylic and pigments that come together to provide a smooth, non-porous and visually seamless surface to help meet the highest standards for aesthetics, fabrication, functionality and hygiene. It is the sum of these parts that brings you a modern material that is far superior to other conventional materials, and which promises to stand the test of time.
