Abet Laminati, a laminate supply company showcases their new contempory stylistic office.
The concept is to provide their customers with a physical representations of their products to showcase the range and different design opportunities that could be made with their materials.
The space is constructed primarily out of materials that the company sells. Each room is designed to gives off a different kind of vibe to showcase the variety in style, mood and the range of use for each material. The designers were given the oppertunity to us the material in way not usually used, to be creative and to be spontanious. From the exterior to the interior of the building, the designers illustrates how one material can bridge both inside and outside.
This innovative design creates a contemporary space that welcomes visitors to multiple possibilities.
From an empty warehouse blossoming into an work of art, the strategy is to allows the customer to see and feel the possibilities that can be employed through Abet Laminati’s products. With all finishes being from Abet, the designers were allowed full access to all materials Abet sells.
One of Abet’s icon feature is the angled chip sample board. The designers wanted it to be the first thing people see and proudly took the icon chip sample board and blew it up to epic scale outfiting the entire receptions back wall using only blue colour chips thus setting the Abet’s moderistic tone once the customer first steps through the double glass doors.
In front, the reception desk uses Abet’s Diafos panels. The translucent quality allowed the for LED light fixtures to be concealed behind as a light source to fully illuminated the face and bring the reception desk to life.
Each room design boasts their own charactoristics. The back lit Silent wall of office one, the diamond pattern in office two, the firey motion in the conference room to name a few. This was done to display the use of each material for the customers to fully understand, see, and interact with Abet’s products. The stairwell showcases how one colour or pattern can be used through out the entire area from wall to floor, to custom hand rails.
The result is a highly veritly and interactive space to suscessfully let the customer see, feel and touch all the products turning the entire office into a complete functional display for Abet and their product.
