A project carried out by Geoform Architects for ECCO in Sydney International Airport stands out in the surrounding environment. The spaciousness and visual balance have been taken even further by the extremely artistic and geometric design.
Allplastics used Staron® Solid Surfaces to custom fabricate those retail display cabinets based on the outstanding design of Geoform Architects. The white honeycomb spliced on the timber base makes it both aesthetically and functionally pleasing.
Staron® Solid Surfaces is created by technology leader Samsung and is comprised of a natural and pure mineral derived from bauxite ore and blended with an advanced pure acrylic resin, resulting in the world’s premium surface material. The non-porous nature of Staron® provides a surface that no stain can penetrate, and it is also repairable and renewable. With a smooth finish and a range of over 80 colours to select from, Staron® Solid Surfaces provides a design solution that pushes the boundaries of design. “We took on board the advice of Allplastics to up-spec to Staron®, elevating the presentation and making for a more resilient display”, says Paul Waddington from Geoform Architects.
As a Danish shoe manufacturer and retailer. ECCO specialises in footwear as well as accessories and leather productions. The materials selected by Allplastics totally meet their expectations that retail fit-outs should durable and hard-wearing in the demanding and high traffic environment, such as Sydney International Airport. Combined with LED lighting and clear polished edge acrylic shelves the result was a winner!
Geoform Architects is a small, quality focused ‘outside-the-box’ thinking architectural design studio. As the manager of Geoform Architects, Paul also applauded the contribution of Allplastics Engineering in this project. “Thank you Allplastics for supporting us with this challenging project. It has a tight deadline and installation after hours due to the restrictions of installation by the Sydney International Airport authorities”, says Paul. “Allplastics successfully project managed the detailing & installation of integrated lighting, going the extra mile to ensure the finished product confidently projected our client’s brand in this high traffic environment”.
High-quality materials could become the driving force for design. Let Allplastics help you explore the endless possibilities in your next commercial, retail or residential project!
