glass in interior architecture: exclusive design solutions made by seele

It is primarily the building envelope where we experience an architect’s concept in terms of form and materials. However, prominent style elements of that concept are increasingly finding their way into the interior. Building envelope and interior space merge into an iconographic form and thus become tangible for the user – whether retail store, shopping mall, company headquarters, museum or private house.

seele’s interior design expertise has already been demonstrated in many projects, with glass, high-quality materials, e.g. brass or stainless steel surfaces polished to a mirror finish, and three-dimensional forms all being employed skilfully for interior architecture. Internal façades, doors, stairs, cladding to elevator shafts, wall linings, spandrel panels, even display cabinets or movable elements – the possibilities are endless.

  • The designs satisfy the highest quality standards, meld function and aesthetics. For example, meticulous planning plus excellent fabrication enables steel columns to be built in such a way that additional cladding is unnecessary. BIM procedures and superior project management allow the interfaces with other design teams to be modelled in the digital processes at a very early stage.
    Owners, developers and architects can benefit from seele’s extensive manufacturing capabilities and huge range of services, thus allowing fast, efficient responses to design changes. Planning, design, production, erection and maintenance constitute the full service that seele provides from start to finish on every project.

Bronze is the trend on the materials front: A bronze panel attains a patina and thus a particular colour. This ring pattern was produced on a special milling machine.
