[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Considerations with pairing materials with metal [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height="16px"][vc_column_text]One of the challenges of any project is creating an acute relationship between a variety of materials. With the increased mechanization in material creation, as well as a decrease in artisans and natural materials, design now faces a period of...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We have always believed in the importance of creating project-specific, considered surfaces rather than working from predetermined finishes; even small details can offer context and meaning. When working on a project driven finish, understanding the following are essential in creating a relevant and site-specific material. [/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image="12053"...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We were founded on the belief that custom, site-specific design should be accessible to all projects. Unlike the traditional “system centric” model of manufacturers that focus on systems before surfaces, our design process allows for both small batch and large-scale bespoke production with ease. Our world is increasingly influenced...
[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text]The design capabilities associated with metal ceilings have grown substantially over the past decade, largely due to the amazing versatility, sustainability, and performance of aluminum. However, little attention has been given to the element that can deliver the most significant contextual and visual impact - the metal surface...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the true limitations of metal paints and coatings is the inability to truly capture the romantic and dynamic movement of light off metal. But a new surfacing technology is allowing design to embrace the innate glamour of metal’s natural variations. Our new Crystal Basecoat adds a colorfast translucent...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Industrial yet refined, versatile yet significant, it's easy to understand why blackened steel is currently in high demand for commercial and residential applications. Natural blackened steel carries a multitude of shades, textures, and patinas that allow the material to be site-specific and interesting. However, the process to create true...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Aluminum is a sustainable solution for cladding that has a minimal environmental impact. Our decorative printed metal is an eco-friendly product for its minimalist manufacturing process. With a variety of LEED credits available, listed below, Pure + FreeForm materials offer the ability to create bespoke...
[vc_row][vc_column width="2/3"][vc_empty_space height="16px"][vc_column_text]While most of our daily lives has felt like it has slowed down over the past few months, things have been ramping up at Pure + FreeForm! Over the past few months, we were able to have 3 additional ASTM certified tests completed on...
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Light plays a vital role in the way we experience architecture, bridging the gap between perception and the spaces we inhabit. Illumination defines color, texture, and depth, enhancing our comprehension of context, place, and space. Consequently, the manipulation of texture, luminosity, and surface characteristics of metal provides designers with...
