Underlay for perforation – “stormy sea”
Pleated façade in powder-coated perforated steel.
The folded geometry together with a semi-gloss coating aims at creating a subtle but ever-changing play of reflections.
The perforated pattern combined with the 45-degree folding allows for semi-transparent and solid expressions, based on fast-changing weather conditions in the Stavanger region.
