NIO Houses Germany
With the shopfitting concept for the Nio brand, an international manufacturer of intelligent electric vehicles, the planning office has achieved precisely this symbiosis. The generously planned Nio Houses, a combination of sales and exhibition areas, café and coworking spaces, reinforce the impression of technical progress and innovation with their reduced and exclusive design. The interior designers and planners had the concrete idea of providing furniture and walls with a predefined wave structure in a concrete look. A request that started the development and production of imi-wave.
The result was a design surface in concrete look, which was given a third dimension by the sculptural design in the form of linear ribs and waves and is now available in a wide variety of designs. On the walls, which are up to 14 metres high, the fabricators installed large-format panels made of a composite of imi-wave and a 19-millimetre-thick MDF board as a pre-wall construction.
