A Collection of Metal Skins by Marcel Wanders and PURE + FREEFORM

Dutch designer Marcel Wanders brings a poetic approach to industrial metal skins through his partnership with architectural metal design studio, PURE + FREEFORM. The joint venture, named The Chameleon Collection, includes eight new metal exterior finishes that explore a new approach to architectural facades and how they can change throughout the day.

The skins feature geometric patterns that evolve over the course of a day depending on the light, reflections, movement, and where one might be standing, giving a once boring building a jolt of personality. The collection is made up of four types of skins: Sensitive (delicate details and soft tones), Dynamic (edgy with masculine colors), Romantic (organic forms and graceful details), and Luxurious (sophisticated with black and gold details).

From Marcel:

Directed by the intensity of the sun, the movement of the clouds, the density of urban humidity and the dance of its reflections, our architectural PURE + FREEFORM skins present an endless symphony of voices, creating an infinite architectural opera that makes us experience our cities every day anew. Architectural subtlety like never before.
