Explore | Aluminum Finishes and Nameplates

Mechanical finishes add depth and interest to nameplates.  Used selectively on a logo, the finishes create a unique look and feel for a brand.  Combined with standard processes, mechanical finishes increase perceived value creating a shimmering metal finish.

The Explore mood board is an exploration of new mechanical finishes incorporated into nameplates.  The effects range from a crisp diamond cut appearance to holographic effects.  Inspiration for the new looks in nameplates came from two mechanical finish mood boards in our trend show, Connect and Transform.

Connect | Aluminum Finishes

The natural qualities of aluminum, movement and depth, are worked into modern finishes, contrasting and complementing a man-made fusion.  We re-explore traditional mechanical finishing, reflecting on the past for inspiration and improving on it with innovation and creativity. 

The Connect series embraces strictly repeated engineered surfaces which reflect technical precision in aluminum and layering.
