Furniture created with KRION® in the new Tribunal de Grande Instance building in Paris
The Tribunal de Grande Instancein Paris has moved its installations to the Batignolles neighbourhood, in the 17th arrondissement of the French capital, where KRION® has been used to create much of the furniture in these new headquarters. Established in the Middle Ages in l’Île de... Cité, at the heart of Paris, the Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) has moved to its new address, establishing itself in a spectacular 160 metre tall building created by the Renzo Piano Building Workshop (RPBW) international architecture studio, a 38 floor tower with three different levels, one on top of the other. KRION® has formed part of this project, a material used to create and design much of the furniture inside. Thanks to its multiple properties and applications, several rooms have benefitted from this solid surface; we find the compact mineral from PORCELANOSA Group transformed into the chairs and benches located in the entrance and lower lobby (considered high transit area), on the countertops of the various bathrooms, and in the covering of tables which will be used by lawyers, judges and judicial personnel. By using the pure white colour of KRION® to create this furniture, as associate architect Stefano Marrano says, “the aim was to associate the idea of justice with purity”. This new building will contain both the hearing rooms and the offices of the judicial institution. With the idea of combining both public functions and private offices, the project by Renzo Piano Building Workshop, with its size and status, intends to establish itself as a point of renovation and development for the whole Clichy Batignolles area in Paris.

KRION in the Haus der Technik orientation centre, Stadtwerke Bielefeld, Germany
Located at the heart of the German city of Bielefeld, the client service centre is found, which has offered a multitude of varied and essential functions since 1929, such as energy information and contracting, drinking water, telecommunications, energy recovery from waste, free time, event tickets,... and tickets for swimming pools and saunas, etc. Its main function has been the sale of tram, metro and bus tickets, and it is a busy space which since 2017 has had a new image thanks to the design by InnenArchitektur & Design Sebastian Büscher, in which we can find KRION as one of the materials selected for the project. The new Haus der Technik space in Stadtwerke Bielefeld is divided into two atmospheres: the area for presentation of new projects, and the consultation area in which the Solid Surface from PORCELANOSA Group, KRION, is best represented. Both Sebastian Büscher, as the KRION transformation company, and Möbelwerkstaff Richard Mangel have been able, with the colours 1100 Snow White and backlightable 4102 Extreme Light, to create an elegant, functional and high quality workspace where the day to day work of employees and all those who require their services has been made pleasant. The combination of the pure white colour of KRION, the backlightable lines and lit low relief as a sign are perfectly combined with the natural wood with which they share the space, with KRION transformed into a 5 metre counter, a conference table and seven desks.

KRION at the nerve centre of the Technical University of Munich (TUM): its library
It is difficult to explain the size of the library of one of the most important universities in Europe, the Technical University of Munich “Technische Universität München (TUM)”. In this case, the following figures are its best introduction: over 2 million printed and... electronic articles, 400,000 book loans and over 10 million downloads of text, along with 1.83 million visitors each year make this library a vital support for students, scientists, researchers and teachers. In one of the rooms of the library, we find the Solid Surface from PORCELANOSA Group, KRION, transformed into an access ramp for disabled people on each diametrically opposed side of the room, including L shaped benches incorporating power outlets, all created with KRION colour 0102 Clear Nature belonging to the NATURE series, containing a minimum of 20% recycled material. Completing the impressive design of the room is another bench made from KRION between both structures, giving the space a symmetrical layout, providing harmony and flexibility to this transitional area. The project was designed and created by Staatlichen Bauamt München 2, one of the state construction companies whose work ranges from administrative buildings to the construction of laboratories, hospitals, research spaces, high schools, and university buildings with auditoriums, etc. TheKRION solid surface was transformed for the library by theSchreinerei Josef Lagler workshop.
