The Design
About Drift Bakteríudrepandi keramík veggklæðning
Keramík veggplötur geta staðið ein og sér en þróa einnig mynstur sjónrænnar samfellu með mótun, opnu ferli sem vísar til íslömskra móta sem stækka endalaust. Samsetning þeirra myndar rúmfræðileg mynstur með einfaldri snúningu flísanna, til að ná hámarksstigi sérsníðingar með lágmarksnotkun byggingaeininga. Einingin jafnvægir á milli rúmfræðilegs og óhlutbundins til að henta mismunandi umhverfi og andrúmslofti, með notkunarmöguleikum allt frá litlum til stórum mælikvarða.
The Recognition
About the A' Design Award í platínu
Drift Bakteríudrepandi keramík veggklæðning vann A' Design Award í platínu, afar virta viðurkenningu sem veitt er sannarlega einstökum, glæsilegum og stórfenglegum hönnunarverkum. Sigurvegarar í platínu eru undur sköpunarinnar, vitnisburður um mörk vitsmunalegrar sköpunargáfu og sýna óviðjafnanlega fagmennsku og snilld hönnuða sinna. Þess er vænst að þessi hönnunarverk séu þekktustu verkin sem skilgreina fagurfræði tímabils, stuðla að velferð samfélagsins og færa mörk listar, vísinda, hönnunar og tækni fram á við. Drift Bakteríudrepandi keramík veggklæðning sýnir yfirskilvitlegt stig afburða og gerir heiminn tvímælalaust að betri stað með hagstæðum og verðmætum eiginleikum sínum. Drift Bakteríudrepandi keramík veggklæðning er verk sem vann A' Design Award í platínu sem vekur langanir, veitir innblástur, spennir, gleður og kveikir mikla gleði.

- Unique Properties
- Ceramic wall panels can stand on their own but also develop patterns of visual continuity through modulation, an open ended process referring to Islamic motifs expanding infinitely. Their combination generates geometric patterns by simple rotation of slab, in order to achieve maximum degree of customisation with minimum use of construction elements. Module balances between geometric and abstract to fit different environments and ambience, with applications ranging from small to large scale.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Active Surfaces natural materials combine science and design to improve wellbeing in spaces people live in. Active Surfaces turn ceramic slabs into an ecoactive material with four superior properties which are antibacterial and antiviral, antipollution, antiodour and selfcleaning certified to ISO standards. These materials can degrade bacteria and viruses including SARS CoV2, polluting particles and molecules responsible for bad odours. Ecoactive surface is also more resistant to dirt making it easier to clean.

- Production Technology
- DYS is a versatile on demand decoration service patented by Iris Ceramica, making possible to produce any kind of decoration on ceramic surfaces. The result is a unique customisation that turns ceramics into an authentic art form. Taking advantage of innovative printing possibilities, a dynamic dialogue with technology and progress is materialised combining abstract with geometric. Continuous ripples add plasticity to flat surfaces, reflecting continuity of printing process and technical features behind manufacture of ceramic slabs.
- Design Challenge
- Underscoring the relation among the conformation and the medium that is composed of, craft becomes a visual expression of the making activity as configuration seizes the memory of raw matter in the finished product. Converting impressions to physicality, place and memory are captured and preserved in space. Interplay of reflections and patterns reveals different textures in pools, spas and wellness centres. A visual reflection of people’s circulation in stations, shopping centres and public areas, flow is converted to spatial experience.
- Research
- With reference to traditional ceramics illustrating long history of building with earth, pottery lines highlight our common roots and deep connection with earth. Converting environment to artefact by combining natural and humanmade, project strengthens the correlation between material and final product through a conceptual process which underscores links among form and substance. Through visual and physical linkages, ceramic slabs design forges a strong link with what is made of, matter extracted from earth.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by natural landscape of Emirates the ceramic wall panels capture essence of place while bringing physical scenery in the manufactured. Linear pattern mimics sand ridges as curved and parabolic lines formed by interaction with wind engraving land are translated to fluid geometry, taking cues from landscape topographical contouring. Referring to unique local geography, desert dunes and terrain contours shaped by the wind illustrate how human trace intersects with the trace of time.
- Project Duration
- The project was completed in 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Encountering movement and plasticity, vibrations and pulses activate surfaces complementing ceramic slab texture and tactility. Employing metallic inks and tonal adjustments in combination with the wide range of Iris Ceramica slabs, users can add personality and distinctiveness in domestic habitat. Applied as cladding in building envelopes, geometric combinations form a dialogue with mutability of topography and urban environment.
