MATALÀS by

Tradition and contemporary design in a panel that redefines spaces. The essence of the Valencian textile memory comes to life in Matalàs, an architectural panel that combines volume, light and acoustic comfort.

Designed by Pepe Cosín and made from recycled materials, this piece evokes the old wool mattresses, reinterpreting their quilted geometry with a minimalist and contemporary approach.

“ modern, elegant and minimalist design that takes us to a world of holism and comfort.”

Pepe Cosín has more than 40 years of professional experience shaping functional spaces for well-being, from his hometown in Valencia. In addition to running his studio, he has played an active role in the defense and promotion of interior design and is currently Dean of the College of Interior Designers of the Valencian Community (CDICV).

A PANEL WITH HISTORY

Inspired by an original design from 1995, Matalàs recovers the spirit of those handcrafted plaster ceilings, taking it to an architectural cladding that provides visual warmth and acoustic absorption. Its geometry plays with light and generates a sensation of softness, contrasting with the firmness of the recycled material from which it is made.

A panel designed for spaces that seek identity and comfort.

REDEFINES THE LIMITS

At Archipanels, each collection is born from a singular vision. We collaborate with leading designers and architects who transform the panel into a living surface, capable of bringing volume, texture and character to any environment.

Creations such as Metrix by Arik Levy or Ona by Fran Silvestre elevate the panel beyond its technical function, turning it into a design piece with its own identity, designed to enrich and give architectural value to spaces.

CREATIVITY + SUSTAINABILITY + INNOVATION

Our panels not only stand out for their design: they are designed to facilitate the work of architects and interior designers. Their large format, reduced weight and customized machining -including the integration of sockets or switches- guarantee a fast, precise and adaptable installation to any project. All this with highly resistant and durable recycled materials.

RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE

In each panel, aesthetics and sustainability coexist naturally. We manufacture from recycled materials to minimize environmental impact without sacrificing quality or technical innovation.

Because we believe that designing well is also designing responsibly.

WE INTERVIEWED VICTOR CARRASCO

 

Founder and Strategic Director of Viccarbe, a role he has combined since 2007 as a consultant for the prestigious American multinational STEELCASE, as well as various collaborations for renowned international firms. Throughout his career he has been awarded with the most prestigious awards, such as the Príncipe Felipe in Business Excellence, the German Design Award, the IF Design Award or the Iconic Awards 2022: Best of Best Innovative Material, among others.

Why Archipanels?

Transforming trash into elegant panels by and for professionals. How can you say no to such a value proposition?

Architects and designers don't have so many timeless options for their projects beyond painting or cladding with wood, stone or ceramic and certainly hardly with such a solid premise in sustainability as this one.

The market has been offering decorative panels for years (a word I don't like very much) but no one before Archipanels had come up with such a clear, differentiating, and disruptive purpose.

Inviting top professionals for the first time to create a signature collection that produces eco-sustainable panels has been a pioneering milestone and I am grateful to be part of this project.

Archipanels is designed to withstand the impact of time, with a focus on quality. Social responsibility and sustainable design play an essential role in our processes. Our production capacity and technical know-how allow for continuous innovation in our production, in the use of state-of-the-art machinery and in the adoption of demanding quality control and management systems. Sustainability is a commitment that the company pursues in all phases of the production cycle. Our journey towards sustainable design is an ongoing process, and by working with like-minded designers and architects, we ensure that our processes continue to advance to minimize the environmental impact of our collection.

What makes us different?

Focus.

There are many companies that produce shapes, designs, and reliefs but without solid criteria. They may have knowledge of the market but without a cultural background they cannot create a love brand between architects and international designers.

How do you value sustainability in your projects?

I consider that sustainability is not a fashion, it is a conclusion. We have a responsibility to get involved between the industry and the environment to improve the deterioration to which we have subjected it.

As an engineer I wish to have one day a specialty related to re-construction, a specific training to minimize the impact we have generated to our planet and even visually repair the aberrations made.

I think we have too much greenwashing, eco-posturing, and we must demand that companies demonstrate their real commitment to the traceability of their actions. For all these reasons I fell in love with Archipanels because sustainability is implicit in the 360º of the company.

RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE

 

At Achipanels we had a dream, to recycle industrial waste into elegant paneling.

Our collection is 100% recyclable, and our goal is to get the percentage of recycled material used in its manufacture is increasing, so they are labeled with the percentage of waste used. We work with the minimum possible number of natural resources looking to give a second chance to materials in disuse causing the minimum possible impact to our planet.

DESIGNED AND MANUFACTURED TO LAST

Archipanels works in collaboration with the most recognized international designers with the ambition to create high quality panels, focusing on timeless appeal and a "built to last" mentality, therefore sustainability is part of our day to day, it drives our decision making, our processes, our designs and our work ethic.

We understand that we have a responsibility to limit the impact of our panels and a duty to work towards a more sustainable future. We are fully aware of the impact our industry has on local and global communities. We strive to further reduce our ecological footprint, and are committed to creating durable, sustainable and ethically sourced panels that will provide differentiation for many years to come.

HOW?

PU foam waste can be milled and reprocessed into other panels, including the option of creating chemical recycling. The term chemical recycling describes the conversion of polyurethanes to produce polyols for second life applications. Three technologies have been developed: hydrolysis, amylolysis, and glycolysis. The main raw material for our panels is polyurethane, and to optimize the carbon footprint, it contains sustainable polyurethane-based composite with shredded plastic bottle waste (PET).

Believing in taking care of the planet for future generations, we have a firm commitment to increase the percentage of recycled material year after year.
