DUNE

by KENSAKU OSHIRO

Nowadays. sustainability is a main issue and, as a designer, it is inevitable to deal with this theme.

In particular, building materials, such as wall cover­ings, have a stronger impact on the environment."

DUNE goes beyond the sole decorative purpose exploring the relation­ship between man-environ­ment-architecture and their harmony, with a specific focus on how natural Light affects the sur­roundings.

With the utilization of sustainable materials, along with Archipanel's large-format manufacturing technology, I imagined a wall covering system with a wide curved surface, synthesizing aesthetic and optimization of material. Interacting with the envi­ronmental light, combined with its smooth. finish, it creates soft gradual shadows enhancing the space.

Our panels are supplied without their finishes, with the colour of their base and recycled parti­cles, making them very easy to assemble and putty.

The subsequent co!our application can be done simply by roller or spray to match the rest of the colours of the architectural space, creating endless colour and texture options.
