Solid Surface Signage: Innovative desings

Signage design and its applications in different projects

The signage design is essential for many of the projects and buildings that are carried out. Users outside the company need to receive information from the business or building in a simple and clear way, either to find a place or for any other purpose. Good corporate and creative signage has the function of acting as a guide for both internal staff and, above all, for external personnel to the company. That is why a well thought out design helps users better understand the information, but also conveys a much more careful and innovative image. Depending on the project in which you want to... incorporate the signage, the needs in terms of the type of design and place of placement of the signs will be different. However, in all cases, it is vital to have a durable, easy to clean material and with the best quality. That is why many establishments choose to carry out their Krion Solid Surface signage. The importance of signage in hospitals Signage in a hospital is of great importance since it can provide a large amount of relevant information quickly and easily, helping the user to find a specific area or reach an area. In addition, in a place as special as a hospital, it is necessary to have signs that express to the user the prohibition to enter certain places, the danger that he may run if he accesses others such as the X-ray rooms, or the restricted access of others places. The design of signage in hotels The design of signage in a hotel can help the user to immerse themselves much more in the accommodation experience. With the malleability of Krion™ and the ability of this material to adapt to any shape, hotels have an unparalleled ally. Thanks to these properties, each signage of the establishment can be totally unique, generating the modernity and exclusivity necessary for accommodation. Signage at airports The signage at an airport is essential and its Krion™ design can offer a modern and exclusive vision, while fulfilling all its functions. An airport is a space in which having the appropriate signs, both directional and guiding, is of great importance. The user who makes a stopover needs to quickly know where the place he is looking for is located, so good signage design is key to the success of an airport. In addition, the exterior signage of the airport can also be essential, for which it is necessary that the chosen material be very resistant and capable of withstanding inclement weather. That is why Krion™ Solid Surface is an excellent choice. Corporate signage in offices The signage in the offices is of great importance in terms of the visual identity of the brand. The corporate part of the signage and the choice of a design adapted to the brand image can result in a better image for the company. Furthermore, clarity and being able to communicate something at a glance helps potential clients or visitors to public or private offices to quickly understand what they need to do, where they need to go, or what the rules of conduct are in place. The application of signage in restaurants and shopping areas The help provided by signage in restaurants is essential for the proper functioning of the establishment. In addition to having the mandatory signs, such as directions for emergency exits, stairs, elevators or areas with video surveillance, signage can also be very useful in places such as bathrooms. Differentiating the men's and women's toilets in an original way, indicating the appropriate use of wastebaskets or remembering to save water are just some of the applications of signage in restaurant bathrooms. Whatever the project, it is indisputable that Solid Surface by Krion™ is the ideal option to have signage with an original, modern design and, above all, of unbeatable quality and resistance.

Sparkasse (Regensburg): a modern, sustainable idea, using KRION in its new installations

Sparkasse (the name for savings banks in German speaking countries) was founded over two centuries ago by wealthy German merchants, intellectuals and academics, in order to encourage savings among the public, and reduce the needs of the poorest, guaranteeing minimal social welfare. There are currently around 450 savings banks operating in a network of over 16,000 branches and with 261,000 employees. In the case we are looking at, the lobby ofSparkasse Central (Regensburg, Germany) was originally planned as a reception with customer service personnel, but was ultimately converted into an... information area for clients who could register on a display upon arrival, and find out about new Sparkasse products. This is how the idea arose to create an Information ARENA which would use the circular shape of the premises. The solid surface from PORCELANOSA Group, KRION, was chosen by architects K R A N Z Das moderne Büro GmbH and designers Hornburg und Thumann GbR, thanks to its resistance, durability and quality, characteristics which represent the essential values of Sparkasse. We can find KRION in colours 6501 Cream and 6401 Red Fire, perfectly combined with the corporate colours of Sparkasse. The commercial units of this project have been perfectly combined with both colours to create the curved information point which incorporates screen supports and backlighting created with KRION6501 Cream. The 6401 Red Fire colour provides the corporate colour, used as a base for the bench, support and drawer unit. In the rear section next to the wall, we find a shelf, incorporating windows, created with 6501 Cream, used to present awards and certifications granted to Sparkasse.

The facilities have a hotel, restaurants and all treatments and activities of a luxury spa. Several firms of the PORCELANOSA Group have participated in this spectacular project: L’Antic Colonial, Noken, Urbatek, Butech, KRION and Porcelanosa. We can find KRION in a multitude of spaces, transformed into elements as diverse as shower dividers, stools, benches, washbasins with embedded and semi-embedded basins, desks, buffet tables, tables, shelves, bars, commercial units and doorjambs, etc.; and outdoors, into decorations, coverings, signage totems and countertops, etc. In this project, KRION PORCELANOSA Solid Surface can distinguish itself in countless applications.

Spasvital trusts in KRION for the new Click2Drive concept from HYUNDAI

Pioneers in Spain, and with just two forerunners in the United Kingdom, HYUNDAI presents the new space in which it reinvents the experience of discovering a HYUNDAI, Click2Drive. The new space is found at the Gran Plaza 2 Shopping Centre in Majadahonda, Madrid, combining reality and virtual reality in a place for looking, touching even trying a vehicle that we can find in the car park of the shopping centre in our own way with the help of an advisor. Due to its extensive experience of developing commercial spaces, the Spanish subsidiary of the Korean brand, HYUNDAI, selected for... undertaking this project was Spasvital, a group specialised in the complete development of Premium spaces. For this work, Spasvital collaborated with architect Antonio Matamoros. Spasvital’s intention was to create a space that would evoke modernity and innovation, with resistance, durability, easy cleaning, thermocurving and being anti-bacterial without additives being some of the properties of KRION which convinced the company to incorporate our material. We can find KRION as a bar where the computer terminals are located, as a wall covering, including the wall that bears a TV screen, and a wall with images projected onto the KRION itself. The mobile stands, with the technical specifications and information on the vehicles are also made with KRION, giving the space the sensation of unity and continuity with the rest of the elements. The colour used for this work was KRION 1100 Snow White. KRION transformed by: Galián Solid Surface Images: Lope Matias KRION PORCELANOSA SOLID SURFACE

The Deutsche Bahn station lounges in Germany are counting on KRION for their fittings

Founded on 1st January 1994, from the extinct railway companies that existed until the reunification, the main railway company in Germany, Deutsche Bahn AG,was born. With this company, we can travel on regional trains to discover the most beautiful spots, even at high-speed. An affordable and comfortable way to travel around the country. In March 2015, Deutsche Bahn launched a competition to develop a new concept of space, whose aim was to incorporate the customer’s desires according to the different needs for use during a stay in the DB Lounge. Despite the strong competition, CRi were... the winners of the competition. CRi Cronauer and Romani Innenarchitekten GmbH designed a new lounge concept in collaboration with the Deutsche Bahn. The style of the furniture brings us closer to the railway network, each one of the elements evokes a chapter of a journey, that takes us from the winding shape of the bar countertop which imitates a high-speed train, to the S shaped lines of the roof that transport us to the catenary and a bird’s-eye view of the tracks. For these fittings, they counted on the Solid Surface from the PORCELANOSAGroup, KRION. We can find KRION in the catering areas of some of the Deutsche Bahn AG stations, with its conversion into: reception desks, tables, self-service bars, seats… all of them in our colours 6101Frost White and 6401 Red Fire.
