Aimée is a spatial concept in 30 x 90 cm (wall) and 45 x 45 cm (floor) formats and features a glossed surface in cream, red and black as well as decorations with exquisite artisan details. Genuine manufacturing processes and industrial production have been forged into a new type of production. This innovative manufacturing process is unrivalled, and each tile is unique. A relief with hand-laid gold or silver inlays creates the design’s plasticity. A new glazing technique has been developed which lends the precious metals an authentic mat look and, therefore, adds extra touches and value. The working of a relief in a large-format tile (30 x 90 cm) is also unique. 

二、Luminoso Translucent Wood

red dot award: product design 2009
 

Luminoso’s designers wanted to create a harmonious symbiosis of wood and light. The result is a material that offers new options for creative design. The translucent wood seems to glow from inside out. Almost any artificial light sources can be used as well as natural light. The stronger the light source the more impressive the result. All current wood types are manufactured without any loss in strength. A variety of colours, shapes and partial or widespread effects present new options for creative architects and designers.


三、Saima Design Wood Flooring

red dot award: product design 2009

Saima is a wood flooring that reflects light in a specific way generated by the wood properties of the Finnish birch. The top layer of the precious wood does not proceed horizontally but the wood fibres are arranged vertically, thus creating the reflection effect. The most important innovation is the colouring method for the birch wood fibres, which maintain their ability of reflecting light. The colour does not only stay on the surface but penetrates all birch layers. Originally Tapio Wirkkala developed the colour in the 1980s. Now it is manufactured on an industrial scale thanks to new production methods. Pekka Toivanen designed Saima Raita as a combination of dark-coloured birch veneer layers with natural-coloured layers. The result was a special product variation. The broad range of manifold combinations, among them different options to lay the flooring, create a new sense of space. 

四、Straightforward
Carpet Tile

red dot award: product design 2008
 

Straightforward is a flexibly adaptable and highly impact-resistant carpet tile measuring 50 x 50 cm and available in a choice of 13 standard colours. Consisting of six tiles per colour and different stripe patterns, the covering can be arranged to point in one direction, in a chessboard pattern or without following any specific overall pattern. Based on an innovative bio-mimicry design, the flat-weave microtuft tiles allow for a so-called “natural patterning” in that the individual carpet modules are laid out at random. Individual elements can thus be easily replaced without colour incompatibility, making fast and flexible installation possible. Straightforward is cost and time-efficient as well as ecologically friendly: the non-directional installation method reduces cut waste to less than one per cent. Straightforward opens up a new dimension in the area of textile floor coverings, combining an innovative design with a high demand for ecological soundness.
