SPECIAL MATERIAL
CORIAN
MATERIAL APPLICATION/
2007 Special Collaborative Project with DuPont materials:
Corian and Sentry Glass Expression
Corian is produced in 2100x750x13 modules. Each panel is then engraved by CNC. Computer reads illustrator file featuring art work and command the machines to reproduced it on corian surfaces. Corian is a translucent material; artwork is highlighted by the black light passing through thinner thickness of engraved pattern.
Each panel is framed on the back by a metal profile. This material profile is fixed on a metal structure to keep the panel in position. Transparent acrylic washers are placed between the back of corian and metal frame in order to illuminate the back of the panel in a uniformed way and avoid shadows.
