KME Architectural Solutions - TECU® Design_shape

Amorphous structures, wave-like forms, organic three-dimensional patterns, spherical shapes made from copper – the TECU® materials can now be taken into the third dimension.‎ For buildings, this means livelier, more distinctive façades that stand out and make a strong impression.‎The natural copper surfaces, whose visual qualities constantly change and develop over time with exposure to the elements, also create different effects depending on the time of day and the alternation of light and shade.‎ The visual impact of changes taking place over the longer term are also new.‎ Copper’s natural oxidisation process on the slope of the surface, so the colour of the three-dimensional surfaces will develop differently in each situation.‎ Making TECU® surfaces three-dimensional offers many new, unexpected, exciting possibilities for copper façades.‎ The three-dimensional shapes of the TECU® surfaces are formed after the strips of copper and copper alloys are produced, by means of hammering, moulding and hydroforming.‎ These machining procedures do not affect in any way the proven qualities of TECU® products: they remain easy to work, long-lasting and economical.‎ In the KME Design Collection, copper in its natural or treated versions passes through the various stages of oxidation, to become an ever-evolving, “living” material.‎ KME Design not only presents the copper surface in all its countless variants, it also enriches the collection with a series of alloys for further applications and innovative aesthetic effects.‎ Diverse textures and finishes complete copper’s sensuous physical impact, giving rise to a wide array of solutions for interiors endowed with a translucent, lively, refined effect.‎ Perforated surfaces, mesh and flatmesh sheets, interlaced coloured copper for delicately crafted fabrics, three-dimensional patterns… And in addition to all this, innovative surface treatments yielding the effect you personally desire: opaque, scratched, brushed, burnished, and even more.‎ With the KME Design Collection, KME copper is the new leading material for interior decoration.‎ The precious and lively palette offered by KME Design is but the first step toward new vistas enabling creative architects and designers to achieve unique interiors… A collection that grows daily, and will unveil new customized surfaces and products to suit all tastes and project requirements.‎ Timeless and perfectly in stride with our times, copper enlivens every home in which it enters, giving it a distinctive and refined touch.‎ Discover KME copper.‎
