Case Study: Architecture
The Challenge
A design-centric consumer technology brand needed to ensure safe footing on the stairs outside of their retail stores. Their architecture team had been trying to solve the challenge of ensuring their iconic stairs remained risk-free from slips and falls in wet weather.
Though they approached multiple vendors for a solution, they remained empty handed. Enter: Material ConneXion.
Key Requirements
- Weatherproof
- Durability
- Ease of Maintenance
The Discovery
After only a few days, Material ConneXion was able to source materials originally intended for metro-area sidewalks that allowed the steps to retain their grip in all weather without detracting from to the brand’s aesthetic.
The Material Solution
The new material is durable and easily maintained, even at the brand’s ‘always open’ flagship stores.
