Two shiny black walls form a corner of the exhibition space creating the illusion of a rounded, three-dimensional shape. Bright wall surfaces provide a scenic design that transcends the boundaries of stay.
Waves of Hi-Macs are the living proof of how this amazing acrylic stone material can be used for creating three-dimensional shapes without limits.

Since Hi-Macs allows unions without visible joints, furniture flows smoothly between the various colors and shapes.
This design flexibility and availability of a wide range of colors, including translucent shades, are added to the excellent material properties. Hi-Macs is a non-porous and easy to clean, impact resistant, durable material. This acrylic stone is particularly suitable for the design of public spaces and even complete facades, as well as kitchens and bathrooms.
