We've designed architectural features and products in multiple materials. Here are some of our recent projects and products..

THE MODEL

From pattern to product & project

01 — pattern

An original geometry, drawn from natural systems. Every pattern is built with its own repeat rules and fabrication logic from the start — so it’s ready to become something real.

02 — surface system

We pair a pattern with a proven material and a proven way of making it. That validated pairing is a Surface System — the gate every design passes before it can be specified.

03 — product

A surface system in a specifiable format, with the pattern chosen at specification — a finished surface you can spec, order, and build.

04 — project

A commissioned project, installed in the field — from showroom walls in the Netherlands to towers in Jeddah.

SELF-FABRICATED SYSTEMS

One partner, start to finish

The material manufacturer also owns the fabrication method — one company supplies both halves of the system.

PARTNER-FABRICATED SYSTEMS

Material and method, paired

A material manufacturer is paired with a separate fabrication partner — often distributed across regional fabrication domains.
