In conjunction with SingaPlural 2017, Ewins is pleased to launch its flagship brand Veromobi’s latest Alba range of high-performance acrylic panel materials through a design installation by Italian architect-designer Egidio Panzera of Studio Architetto Egidio Panzera.

Over the years, Egidio Panzera realised that behind every project, there are concepts, stories, and plots that take shape. Conceiving an installation that speaks today about the “stories” of future design increasingly means speaking about connections, relationships, and interactions. Egidio thus envisaged a basic volume of material, crossed by visual and physical relationships, by geometrical and textural syntax, by irony, and by curious glances.  Just as a storyline is a sequence of events, design too is represented by the overlapping of hundreds of Veromobi Alba acrylic sheets. Each sheet is a two-dimensional shape, an experience, and a word in the tale. Coloured, reflective, and interactive sheets to write on, draw on, or on which to simply leave a message for the next design “pilgrim”.

INTRODUCING VEROMOBI ALBA – HIGH-RESISTANCE ACRYLIC PANEL

Alba is a multi-layered composite panel made with an extruded high-gloss, high-resolution transparent acrylic layer, and a coloured acrylic layer.

Its surface can be treated to achieve the desired glossiness (from non-reflective matte to mirror-finish); and to have properties such as scratch and wear-resistance, stain-resistance, UV-resistance, and resistance to yellowing. With a better impact resistance than glass (25 times tougher than glass and 10 times tougher than tempered glass) and made to be water, grease and stain repellent, Alba is suitable for use as materials for interior walls, partitions, sliding door infills and kitchen backsplashes.

Alba can also be used as vertical walls, bathroom walls and screens. It is acid and alkali resistant, leaves no water stains and is easy to clean.

ANTISEPTIC COAT

When applied in medical, cosmetic, biotechnological, food manufacturing and childcare industries where indoor environment hygiene is crucial, this panel can be treated with an antiseptic coat to inhibit the growth of most fungi and bacteria.

FUSS-FREE AND COST-EFFECTIVE INSTALLATION

Easy to install, clean and maintain, Alba is the perfect material for refurbishing spaces. It can easily be worked on using woodworking tools making it possible to do on-site alteration when required. It can also be laid over existing tiles which eliminates the cost, time and trouble of hacking.

VEROMOBI ALBA LITE – BENDABLE THIN PANELS

Alba Lite is a PMMA/ABS composite panel created out of the need for a thin and lightweight panel that has a high-gloss or matte appearance. The topcoat can be customised to bring about properties such as water repellency and antisepsis, according to user’s needs. Available in a wide variety of colours and designs, and able to be thermoformed and bent, Alba Lite is especially suitable for use as furniture doors, infill panels of sliding doors, or even as lamp shades.
