Exciting Exterior collection; Vivix® launched to the French market at Architect @ Work, Paris
November 2011
On 6-7th October the Formica Group showcased VIVIX® the exciting new addition to its product portfolio at Architect@Work (A@W) in Paris. VIVIX offers a fresh perspective in architectural panels whether you choose to clad a building, create individual design features or for use in combination with other cladding materials. Answering an increase in demand for decorative, lightweight and robust rainscreen cladding VIVIX is brand new to the French market.
Architect@Work is in its fourth year in Paris and participating companies are chosen by review committee ensuring that products featured are relevant to the industry. An exclusive event for architects and interior designers A@W travels through Germany, France, The Netherlands and Belgium throughout the year bringing innovation and design to the built environment profession.
Meeting with a number of architects, designers and distributors the team worked hard to introduce VIVIX to the exclusive group of built environment professionals in attendance at the show.
