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.

The designs presented in this publication are the property of ARCHIPANELS, S.L. and are protected by Industrial Design and Copyright. The images are representative, and there may be slight variations in tone and texture compared to the actual panels.

Archipanels panels present tolerances inherent to the manufacturing process:

    • General dimension tolerance: ±5 mm
    • Design/aesthetic detail tolerance: ±3 mm

Our panels are manufactured using a sustainable production system. Any minor imperfection, including those that may arise from transportation or handling, can be easily repaired with standard filler, similar to next-generation plaster.

Once installed, the panels can be filled and repainted, making them easy to maintain and extending their lifespan.

ARCHIPANELS markets the panels without fireproof certification. If you require fire-resistant panels, an appropriate treatment must be applied after installation and before the final painting. See details in our installation instructions.

The images used in catalogs and on the website may have been taken on real construction sites, in studios, or generated through computer graphics. This may cause slight differences in color or texture perception. We recommend requesting physical samples from your area sales representative to validate finishes before making final decisions.
