Xelent

Xelent is a modular switch panel for smart homes. The panel combines a 2.8 mm ultra thin frame with a patented magnetic snap fit system, so the surface sits flush with the wall within plus or minus 0.2 mm. A modular 31.7 mm grid supports 4, 6 or 8 key layouts for different rooms. A time of flight sensor detects users from 10 to 100 cm and supports proactive control instead of passive response. A temperature algorithm forecasts changes and pre-adjusts heating and cooling. The eye care lighting system raises brightness gradually over three seconds.

Tramae

Tramae is a wallcovering collection for interior surfaces. The design translates the sand casting technique of Italian artist Costantino Nivola into a three dimensional relief with a sandy texture. Tramae is produced on GlamOrigin, a matt material made of quartz powder layered on a non-woven fabric backing. Four free match patterns are offered in Pure White or Silk Grey. The patterns and the two tones can be combined to create calm or more dynamic surfaces. The hand worked effect is transferred to a ready to use material, so tactile depth is achieved on large areas.
