In the ever-evolving world of interior design, REHAU’s RAUVISIO Crystal Deep Collection stands out as a groundbreaking innovation. Combining depth and sophistication, this collection offers a unique blend of aesthetic appeal and functional excellence. We sat down with Mr. Manish Arora, VP – Furniture Solutions at REHAU SOA, to discuss the inspiration, technology, and impact of this remarkable collection.

Innovative Design: What inspired the creation of the RAUVISIO Crystal Deep Collection, and how does it differentiate itself from other products in the market in terms of design and functionality?

    A: The RAUVISIO Crystal Deep Collection was inspired by the desire to redefine interior spaces through a fusion of depth and sophistication. Unlike conventional laminates, this collection introduces a unique depth effect achieved through a meticulous interplay of light and the stunning metallic look of the laminates. This not only enhances the visual depth of surfaces but also adds a touch of elegance and modernity to any space. Its features like High Scratch resistance, anti-fingerprint matte finish, can be used as a chalk board and superior antibacterial coating gives it a unique characteristic. What sets it apart from other products in the market is its ability to seamlessly blend classic glass versatility with a contemporary metallic finish, offering a fresh perspective on interior design that is both visually captivating and functionally superior.

    Technical Aspects: Can you delve into the technical process behind achieving the unique depth effect in the RAUVISIO Crystal Deep laminates? What challenges did you encounter during development?

    A: Achieving the unique depth effect in the RAUVISIO Crystal Deep laminates involved a sophisticated technical process of spreading a hot coloured polymer layer and cooling instantly. Then it is covered with a transparent PMMA layer followed by a HardCoat finish. Through these innovative manufacturing techniques, we meticulously crafted the laminates to possess a distinctive depth that enhances their visual appeal. Our crystal deep collection has 1.6mm as clear pmma layer. Challenges during development primarily revolved around achieving the perfect balance between the metallic look and the depth with a certain level of characteristic, ensuring consistency across all decors, and maintaining the highest standards of quality and durability.
