Objet Particulier and KrionÂ®, tradition and innovation united in unique creations

The Objet Particulier marquetry workshop is distinguished by its maintenance of tradition and ability to innovate. It designs and produces refined decorative coverings for architects and interior designers, working by hand with historical and simple natural materials such as rye straw, galuchat (fish skin) or parchment (goat or sheep skin).Its founder and creative director, Mamen Diego, plays with techniques and materials in a constant exercise of cross-innovation to give new value to the technique of marquetry and weaving. Embedding of pallets on Krion® Tradition and modernity:... cross-innovationToday's interior architecture, whether ephemeral or permanent projects, seeks lightness and ease of installation, especially in the case of large-format pieces.In this context, Mamen Diego's ambition to perpetuate the beauty of classical marquetry processes has led her to study the use of new support materials for her creations, which are lighter and more flexible than wood. Her innovative strength is reflected in the use of new materials as supports, such as the solid surface Krion® from Krion PORCELANOSA Grupo. Rye straw embedded in Krion® Based on this vision and a profound understanding of today's construction requirements, he has developed his own working protocols: handcrafted production techniques, similar to those used in the 17th century, combined with technology and a reinvented use of historical materials, so that Objet Particulier's decorative claddings meet the requirements of a modern and exclusive interior design project. Its creations in Krion® inlaid with rye straware inspired by Mozarabic plaster designs. They stand out for the natural lustre and sparkle of the straw embedded in this compact mineral, which has almost no porosity, is thermoformable, highly durable, highly resistant and requires very little maintenance. Krion® and galuchat buttons Environment and sustainability, the key to reflectionObjet Particulier uses only natural materials such as straw, galuchat, parchment and waste from the agricultural or food industry to create its decorative claddings. Likewise, it only uses natural or largely recyclable substrates, such as Krion® solid surface.All its internal processes have been designed, both in production and logistics, with the aim of creating a virtuous and eco-responsible circle that adds value to each of its creations.Both Objet Particulier and Krion PORCELANOSA Grupo defend the development and craftsmanship process and the circular economy in their production processes, resulting in projects of high creative value.

AlluslateÂ®: The large-format decorative panels that are a surprising new feature in interior decoration

What is Alluslate®? The composite and aluminium wall cladding panels that are revolutionising interior design As a result of the need to create a durable and creative solution for the most innovative of projects, Krion has developed Alluslate®, a composite wall panel made up of two resistant and malleable outer layers of aluminium, where the upper layer is decorated with advanced printing techniques. Alluslate can be installed as Tiles for furniture: display counter fronts, book displays, furniture, wardrobes and closets... Equipment and vertical interior walls in restaurants... and cafeterias, hotels, bathrooms and residences. Composition of Alluslate®, the new aluminium composite wall cladding panel Its composition, made of aluminium and composite, provides great resistance and its surface is decorated using advanced printing techniques that have subsequently been protected by a coating that determines its finish, Matt or Glazed, allowing for the creation of premium quality designs. "The total thickness of the Alluslate® panel is 4 mm" Infographic showing Alluslate® composition Are they large-format wall coverings? Discover what composite and aluminium wall cladding panels can offer you Yes, in addition to their large-format (1200 x 2600 mm), they are so light that they are easily transported and handled. As such, they can be used to cover large spaces in a short space of time, making them perfect wall tiles to be installed for a quick change of decoration in commercial or residential areas where work needs to be carried out quickly and cleanly. The best of Alluslate® It's light and easy to install: Alluslate® composite and technical aluminium panels, despite their large format, are incredibly light and resistant. They have an excellent surface area/weight ratio of 6.7 kg/m2 (approx), which allows them to be handled by a single person, facilitating their transportation and installation. Thanks to their stability, low weight and large surface coverage, their installation is quick, simple, noise-free and dust-free. In addition, it is not necessary to remove the previous material as they can be installed on top of the vast majority of materials. Resistant to moisture and water: The panels are covered by a technical protective layer that surrounds the decoration, protecting them from damage. Alluslate®, whether Matt or Glazed, does not absorb liquid, so it can be installed in splash areas such as shower walls or behind sinks. Easy cleaning: Thanks to the final treatment on their surface, these panels are highly resistant to dirt, preventing stains from penetrating their deeper layers and affecting the design. Basic tools such as microfibre cloths, soapy water or concentrated soap are recommended for maintenance and cleaning. High-definition designs: Alluslate® models are exclusive as their designs have been developed by our Design Department as though they were handcrafted. Each of these drawings is put through a high-quality digitisation process in order to, at a later date, decorate the panels using advanced digital printing techniques. These procedures provide clear contrasting images with vivid colours, offering exceptional resolution and quality. Fire resistance: The composition is based on aluminium and the core of the panel is composed of a low-density thermoplastic polymer (LDPE) with a flame retardant mineral charge. All of this results in a material with innovative properties to protect against fire. The panel's Euroclass classification is B s1 d0. What technical solutions does Alluslate® allow? One of the best aluminium composite cladding panel solutions Complex machining The Alluslate® technical aluminium and composite wall panels allow complex machining without impacting on the panel structure. These panels do not accumulate tension, so they can be drilled, cut or bent to work around columns, corners, plugs and other wall elements. Technical aluminium panels can be transformed in a workshop or on site using basic tools such as drills, a manual milling machine or a circular saw, or many other tools used in carpentry or metal work. Continuous solutions Alluslate® aluminium panels with a Matt finish can be bent using simple milling techniques on the back of the panel and then bent over. This technique allows the creation of internal or external corners without joints, with material continuity which maintains the characteristics of the panel. Say yes to curves To create bends or curves with Matt finish Alluslate® aluminium panels, the best option is to use a roller bending machine, but you could also use a membrane press and its corresponding mould with no need to employ heat. Different connection options The material is supplied with rectified sides, so it can be installed in the following ways: Head to head: Edge to edge, the recommended option if you wish to maintain the visual continuity of the design. In the event that the panels are to be installed in damp environments, we recommend this head-to-head installation and the use of the appropriate sealant between the panels to avoid filtration. Profiles can be used when required for the installation. Versatility of Alluslate® designs Alluslate® can be used to create continuous, infinite designs by placing the pieces successively, both horizontally and vertically, so that the panel motifs coincide in all directions. Some of its models with these characteristics are: Capricce: Taking inspiration from the exotic, Capricce Nocce (with a beige background) and Nero (black background) have artistic and eye-catching natural motifs in which birds, flowers and cheerful colours come together to create different atmospheres and immerse your space in the depths of nature. Alluslate® Capricce Nero Amazonic: The leaves of the Amazon rainforest are the protagonists of this design, which conveys freshness and dynamism. Greenery can be present in your space without the need for further decoration. Alluslate® Amazonic Light Matt Nostalgia: A series with a vintage touch that stands out due to the delicacy and elegance of its pastel tones and floral motifs and is used to create soft spaces full of feeling. Alluslate® Nostalgia Pink These large-format tiles also have models that are designed to create horizontal continuity by placing the panels successively and in the correct order. Bericcio: At first sight, it is really difficult to differentiate the design of Bericcio from natural stone. Its design faithfully reproduces the textures, colours and details of oriental marble. The result is an elegant and luxurious space. Alluslate® Bericcio Grey Calacatta: Reminiscent of the classic Calacatta marble, this design integrates purplish veins to create sophisticated and truly memorable spaces. In gloss and matt versions. With the same groundbreaking design and preserving its essence, it now has a finish that allows it to be curved to give life to shapes and projects full of movement. Alluslate® Calacatta Viola Forest: Inspired by the green marble of India, this design takes over the space, filling it with natural nuances and textures. In gloss and matt versions. With the same groundbreaking design and preserving its essence, it now has a finish that allows it to be curved to give life to shapes and projects full of movement. Alluslate® Forest Green Timber: Alluslate® Timber, in the elegant shades Oak and Walnut, fuses the natural beauty of wood with advanced technical qualities. This lightweight, hard-wearing material is ideal for high traffic areas and is easily installed without the need for special tools. With fire retardant properties and low VOC emissions, Alluslate® Timber provides safety and excellent air quality. Its non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and facilitates cleaning, creating unique, sustainable and safe spaces. Inspired by nature, these finishes offer a warm and welcoming aesthetic that transforms any space into a haven of elegance and sophistication. Oak captures the essence of oak, providing a soft and luminous tone that enhances the natural beauty of the wood. Walnut, on the other hand, offers a rich, dark hue that infuses spaces with an air of nobility and distinction. Alluslate® Timber combines design and durability, ideal for commercial and hospitality environments. If you are looking for a more random design, with freestyle decoration and no continuous graphic development through the different pieces, Alluslate® offers these models that can be installed in a random fashion: Peak: Every detail of authentic stone is reflected in the Peak collection. Its delicate veins, earthy tones and attention to detail will shape the environment where this collection is installed. Alluslate® Peak Topo Materica: A collection that reflects the simplicity and the light textures of the raw materials to increase the aesthetic possibility of each project.. Alluslate® Materica Nut

These 5 sustainable homes are planet-friendly thanks to Krion and Porcelanosa Group

Sustainability in home construction is becoming increasingly important, and eco-friendly home design is trending. Designing sustainable homes is becoming more and more of a concern for architects and designers worldwide, and for good reason: sustainable construction is no longer an option, it's a necessity. Climate change has prompted builders and designers to come up with more environmentally-friendly solutions in recent years, and the results are positive. According to forecasts, if we reduce the demand for less sustainable materials such as steel or cement, the home construction... industry could reduce its global emissions by 38% by 2050. So, what exactly is a sustainable home? What are the features of sustainable houses, and where can we find examples? What is a sustainable home? From the design phase, through to design and later use, sustainable homes put the environment front and centre. Generally speaking, these are energy efficient homes that utilise more planet-friendly resources. Features of a sustainable home Sustainable homes have a lesser environmental impact in the construction phase, extending to the subsequent use of the home. So as well as being made with sustainable architecture in mind, the fixtures and fittings should also be environmentally-friendly. Here are the key characteristics of a sustainable home: The design should fit harmoniously into the setting and wider natural environment. To achieve this, building materials should be as environmentally-friendly as possible. They should of course use non-polluting materials, using recycled or recyclable products where possible. In terms of equipment, household appliances, heating/air conditioning systems and insulation should be designed to minimise energy consumption. Tips for making your home more sustainable There are steps you can take if you want to make your own home more sustainable. Take a look at our tips for making your home more sustainable: Updating your façade and replacing it with a ventilated façade can improve your insulation, resulting in lower energy consumption in the home. Porcelanosa Lyon façade In terms of exterior design, you can take steps to improve sustainability by planting vegetation and opting for materials such as wood rather than metal in any transit areas.

Oz decorative panels by FitwallÂ®: a stunning show of textures

For years, KRION has been pushing for limitless creativity, adding ever-more modern and on-trend elements, materials and designs to its range. This is a brand on a constant quest for innovation and high product quality. Which is why it's looking increasingly further away to broaden its horizons. Fitwall decorative panels are one of the brand's most successful additions to its extensive product range in recent times. Today we're looking specifically at its Oz product range. These KRION panels come with a long list of benefits and are committed to high-level quality. And as we'll... see next, they go further. These panels make an ideal choice to decorate and transform any space - with a firm eye on their environmental impact. Oz decorative panels by Fitwall Fitwall is a highlight of KRION's range of mineral-based materials. Since its beginnings, this material - in all its forms - has been considered synonymous with lightness and durability. The material's structure and composition make it ideal for providing next-level thermal and acoustic insulation. What's more, its technical properties make it highly resistant against extreme elements like fire and moisture. As a result, Fitwall offers the perfect combination of aesthetics and safety so paramount to wall coverings of any sort. The Fitwall Oz series benefits from an incredibly simple installation system and cutting-edge aesthetics. The herringbone design of Fitwall Oz is perfect for anyone looking to dress walls, furnishings or other equipment with unrivalled relief and texture. The highly-realistic pieces offer flexibility, durability and lightness, making them an excellent choice for a number of applications. Fitwall Oz decorative panels are perfect for commercial premises where you want to project a modern and innovative image to customers and visitors. They're ideal for restaurants and cocktail bars. Oz solid surface panels are Fitwall's most striking and original piece yet, with the power to transform any space - whichever colour you go for. Take your pick from Velvet Brown, Mediterranean, White Clay, Yellow Clay or Red Clay. How has Fitwall improved the environmental performance of Oz panels? KRION's Oz panels feature a wide range of properties that demonstrate the brand's commitment to the environment. In fact, KRION's commitment to protecting the environment has always been one of its hallmarks. It's what led us to reduce the resin content in the panels. We've also replaced part of our products' composition with alumina trihydrate, the main component of Krion. Krion uses mineral-based raw materials to give its panels mechanical and flame retardant properties. The result? More than two-thirds of Fitwall panels contain mineral-based components mixed with resin, making the material tougher and more fire-resistant. They also use inorganic mineral pigments for a more natural look, and fibreglass, which gives the material its characteristic resilience and flexibility. As you can see, there remains no doubt that large format Fitwall® decorative panels are a truly outstanding solution: they're resistant, strong and light, as well damp-proof, fire-resistant, and easy to install.
