Oriels
2015-2022
Made completely of aluminum
In the style of a traditional Arabic oriel called “Al Roshan” with “meshrebeeyeh” respectively Rowshin with mashrabiya, which are the projecting oriel windows enclosed with carved wood latticework.
The oriels are made completely out of aluminum but maintain the appearance of solid wood. In this way, the oriels have the durability and stability of an aluminum structure, but also have the look and appeal of a traditional wooden “mashrabiya”. In order to achieve this, each part is individually coated using a specialized coating technique.
A special trademarked Teflon-based coating system is used in combination with water-transfer printing to apply a wood-grain effect to components larger in size than was technically feasible before.
Using this technique and equipment, virtually any design can be applied to nearly any surface or material, allowing for limitless freedom in the architecture and design of modern metal structures.
