In the eyes of designers, stone with chromatic aberration is a good material, and the application of chromatic aberration is just a level (realm) of design. There are no two identical stones in the world, and the natural color difference is exactly the charm of the stone. Make good use of the color difference, and the whole space will bloom with a different style.
The base substance of marble is calcium carbonate (limestone). In addition to the basic minerals, various elements and minerals are mixed to form the various colors and textures of the stone.
Weathering steel is atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel, which is a series of low-alloy steels between ordinary steel and stainless steel.
Weathering steel is made of ordinary carbon steel with a small amount of corrosion-resistant elements such as copper and nickel added. It has the functions of rust resistance, corrosion resistance, and prolonging its service life.
The rust layer of weathering steel is not dense at the beginning, and the initial corrosion rate is not much different from that of ordinary steel.
It takes at least a few years for a dense, protective rust layer to form, and its appearance is also gradually varied.
Weathering steel, connecting architecture and machinery, modern and retro, makes the space rich and harmonious.
It uses the material and color of weathering steel to integrate the charm of mechanical rational civilization into the new building structure and continues the industrial age splendor of the old factory site.
The design concept of the sintered stone surface is derived from “rough stone, metal, concrete, cement, wood, fabric” etc. Advanced sintered stone surface design must restore their texture, veins, texture, feel, and aesthetic appeal.
[Rough Stone-Marble/Granite] Aesthetics:
1. Restoring its “crack” is a different kind of charm – for example, Laminam I Naturali Diamond Cream
2. Restoring its “color difference” is a different kind of charm- Example: Laminam I Naturali PdS Antracite Bocciardato Example: Laminam I Naturali Pietra Grey
Stone is formed in the natural environment after at least hundreds of millions of years of complex physical and chemical changes, coupled with the evolution of geological movements. The influence of many internal and external factors will cause the ever-changing stone. If there is no color difference, is it believable?
The distribution of various minerals in nature is uneven, otherwise, humans would not need to explore mineral deposits. This unevenness causes a difference in the color of the stone. Sintered stone design pursues a highly realistic reproduction of the texture of the original stone.
- Restoring its “granite’s rough surface touch and full-body texture” is a different kind of charm-
For example Laminam Inside Pietra Piasentina Taupe. For example Laminam Inside Porfido Marrone Naturale
The feel is slightly rough, and the board surface presents a sense of age.
[Metal – Rust, Weathering Steel] Aesthetics:
4. Restoring its “gradient color light and shade” is a different kind of charm-
For example Laminam Ossido Bruno, Nero, and Verderame.
If an iron plate is corroded, the corrosion degree and color texture of each part is the same, is it a real high-level aesthetic?
Advanced material simulation ability, super industrial manufacturing ability, advanced design ability = charm/nature/interest
The aesthetics of [cement-putty/micro-cement]:
5. Restoring its “light and shade under the light of cement texture” is a different kind of charm-
For example Laminam Fokos Roccia and Laminam Calce Nero.
The color of clear cement is natural and soft, the visual effect of bumps is accompanied by an almost velvety touch.
It expresses an ideal of eternal beauty.
The surface texture of the Calce series is filled with simple and extraordinary vision, soft-touch, just like a freshly plastered wall or industrial cement,
Whether it is the natural texture of the texture or the light and shade of the tone, it is more suitable for expressing the creativity of the designer.
