Mykon - Aluminium Honeycomb Panelling

Mykon believe that 'light is vital not only in its ability to transform space but also due to the different appearances and contrasts it can produce'.

They appreciate how valuable light is as a resource and using this philosophy now manufacture panels, sliding doors, internal hinged doors, flooring, ceiling tiles and bespoke furniture.

So what is this honeycomb panelling exactly? Typical panelling is usually made out of plywood, plasterboard or aluminium profiles. Mykon have manipulated the usual materials and combined these into a more three dimensional form to create something not necessarily new, but clever and innovative.

The image above shows just a few of many applications that this material can be used for. The panelling is made up of a series of thin aluminium hexagonal formed shapes most probably manipulated by the use of a simple jig. This form is then faceted in a layer of glass either side to protect them as well as create the finishing layer ready to be applied to its function.

The Architect's Archive hits the Surface Design Show...

Every year, The Surface Design Show throw a massive exhibition of new innovative companies and products on the market and this year was by far the most exciting so far. The show is a must attend event for specifiers looking for the latest surface solutions, incorporating brand new feature areas and an opportunity for you to network with the crème of this precious industry. This year saw the likes of ACTiVE, Caesar, Mykon, Parapan, Burlington, Arpa, LED LightSheet, Levantina, Quantum Glass, Muraspec and Benchmark.

We will be spending the next few days or so uploading posts that feature examples of the products and companies that stood out the most to us individually at this prestigious event and with information about the company websites, you will be able to see just how the materials can be applied to their full potential.

Four little architects from Farnham...

The Architects Archive is a brand new interior architectural blog written by a small clan of students from the UK. We are hugely passionate about architecture both locally and worldwide and we want to share our discoveries with you all. We are specifically stimulated by three dimensional forms and our blog will concentrate on this aspect of design.

Not only will we promise to share innovative and new designs with you, but our aim is to review as many references as possible giving our thoughts and opinions - there are simply just too many blogs out there who concentrate too much on posting hundreds of images every day without explaining why they should be appreciated. On the other hand, there are some truely great examples out there in which we aspire to.

We will be up and running as soon as possible with a series of posts to wet your appetites - we hope that you will be just as staggered and blown away as we are. And If we in some way have helped out with research of your own, then we have succeeded in our job.
