3form and design
Imagine organic materials that are produced by indegenious artisans from all over the world and brought to our interiors. Bambu, wood, grass, pebbles, cotton, leaves, shells, all find form in 3form by HunterDouglas.
After their innovative solutions for window coverings, ceilings, sun control and façades, HunterDouglas has produced another brand name, 3form, where they carry on their environmental sensitivity in an explicitly profound way.
Artisan using bamboo
In 3form’s Full Circle Program raw organic materials are hand crafted in countries such as India, Columbia, China, Indonesia, Nepal and certain regions Africa by local artisans. The production of these materials is beneficial for the economies of these countries, and are totally organic. These materials are then pressed into eco-friendly ecoresin™ panels. Ecoresin™, a patented formula of HunterDouglas, provides materials to have high technical performance in fire protection, Uv protection, and impact strength. It also provides flexibility in shape and size, offers unlimited design options and is suitable to any budget with a wide price range, which makes a highly preferable material for interior designers.
Press technique with Ecoresin™
Besides ecoresin™ panels, 3form also has products of glass, laminated with organic materials, such as shells and leaf fosils.
3form also has a series called chroma™, where they use a patented colour infusion technology into solid panels. These products are again high in technical performance, renewable and eco-friendly.
With such a variety of shape, texture, colour and size 3form goes even further and offers customization of their products. You can create and purchase your own material design. Additionally, 3form has a variety of solutions for installing these materials into your interiors.
Green is not a color
Besides eco-friendly products, 3form has a material reclaim program, where they collect, reuse and recycle materials from installations. They renew used panels and provide them for new customers. Unusable materials are recycled and saved from going to landfills.
3form is in every way friendly; to the craftsman, to us, and to the environment. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if eco-friendlyness was not a special thing, but something every manufacturer took into consideration? With 3form HunterDouglas has taken an initiative, and I am sure that these products will set examples for many other new products to come.
