The initial concept enquiry from the client for 150mm thermoformed radius edges with an indication that approximately 300m linear metres would be required. This very requirement is a challenge in itself...
A difficult and complex project, we were required to clad Orange Hi Macs, a very dense colour, onto steel, to acheive the appearance of reception desk curving from the ceiling around to the ground.
The display module has been constructed over a floating steel frame which supports a continuous interactive screen, the surface fabrication had to be manufactured as a monolithic piece and then be mechanically clear of the interactive screens...
