R&D Team: Industria Santa Luzia
Colecao SIX
The Coleção SIX by Industria Santa Luzia consists in sustainable wallcoverings with hexagonal shapes and eight color options. The company has developed manufacturing know-how to collect used surfboards made of Polyurethane (PU) and transform them into the Coleção SIX and other wall coverings collections.
By giving a correct destination to the PU, the Industria Santa Luzia became a case of circular economy applied in Brazil, benefiting consumers, buildings and the environment with recycled and recyclable materials of construcion.
SIX Collection’s main inspiration was honeycombs, one of nature’s most perfect geometric shapes. To create the perception of a 3D effect on the walls, I created a delicate variation of height in the elements of each piece. Complementing the design, I created a very smooth texture to the touch as if the piece were covered by a velvet surface.
