Madera: the soul of wood, nobly expressed
Madera crafts the very essence of wood through the ingenious process of precomposed veneering, resulting in surfaces of captivating visual harmony and inherent sustainability. From flawlessly coordinated color palettes to intricate inlays that whisper stories, each door stands as a genuine tribute to the natural world.
Preserving the history of an industrial building in Shanghai and its different layers, adding new metal elements to revitalize and redefine the spaces: with this approach the Chinese firm Dongqi Architects has designed Basdban, a multifunctional center that includes a cafeteria, a store, common and event spaces.
To enhance the flexible character of the project, the architects designed a system of ceiling tracks that include lighting, cameras and metal curtains that separate the large spaces as needed.
