New Product: Announcement of the release of SHIWA PANEL–Recyclable, lightweight, highly corrosion-resistant, next-generation metal panel

投稿日:

The unseen properties of metals, such as softness, hardness, undulation, and tensile strength, which are inherent to the inner surface of metals, can be expressed in the design of the wrinkle panel ®︎.

The wrinkle panel ®︎ is available in two materials: titanium, which is absolutely corrosion resistant at the seaside, and resource-saving stainless steel, which can be freely selected according to the application and location of use.
This is a new design metal panel expression that allows you to feel the texture and brilliance of the original metal, its undulations and ridges.

 

 

The intrinsic appeal of metal is expressed in the form of wrinkles, a new design expression for panels.

(Headquarters: Dazaifu City, Fukuoka Prefecture; hereinafter referred to as “Toyo Stainless Steel Polishing Industry”) has realized and commercialized a new design expression for metal panels with the wrinkle panel ®︎.

The “Mysterious Mirror ” series, a series of metal panels with design expressions such as shimmering and hammered lines like the surface of water and diamond cuts, has been developed. We have developed “wrinkle panel ” that expresses the natural luster and dullness of metal by releasing the softness, hardness, undulation, and tensile strength that metal inherently possesses.

Various metal panel shapes are available, from lightweight cut panel shapes to four-way bent shapes and free-form curved shapes.
The flexible design metal can also be used as artwork, embodying the free creativity and ideas of artists and creators.

 

Wrinkle panels that can express various designs:

The wrinkle panel can be used in a variety of ways, from a look that brings out the original luster of the metal to a matte look as if the metal has been damaged.

Our compound design polishing technology allows us to propose the charm of metal to any scene, and this metal panel is useful to designers and creators for their creative spaces.
