KNOW MORE ABOUT THE DESIGNERS:

Debuting physical textures and diffusive surfaces

Pure + FreeForm, an award-winning metal design studio, is proud to unveil Specular, its newest and most innovative collection of metal finishes to date. The textured, high-performance metal surfaces of Specular harness the transformative power of light, transcending the mundane with physical textures that allow light to respond to the metal in unparalleled ways. With innovation and sustainability at the core of Specular’s design, the collection succeeds in coupling function and form, where the surface becomes an integral feature of the built environment.

“Because light closes the gap between architecture and perception, the need for physical texture and diffusive surfaces is an essential part of storytelling and context in architecture, today,” explains Geoff Hahn, Creative Director of Pure + FreeForm. “By mobilizing surface texture, and therefore light spread, we believe that we have developed something that is a real game-changer.  Architects have control over metal like never before.”

A flexible, customizable, and durable product

The Specular collection is ideal for exterior metal cladding, acoustical ceilings, interior wall paneling, millwork, soffits, column covers, canopies, and more. From classical forms to more complex hybrid finishes, Specular offers 12 unique surfaces to choose from that define the next generation of metal archetypes. With a focus on pearlescence, texture, fragmentation, and light spread, the collection’s finishes include Emblem, Perlage, Brunello, Relic, Enox, Piombo, Harlem, Molten, Serra, Caxia, Akoya, and Hollywood.

Available in panel systems or as flat sheets, Specular’s single skin aluminum composition is fully customizable in terms of design, pattern, color, gloss, texture, and scale. The collection’s durable, crack-resistant surfaces are easy to maintain, and Pure + FreeForm’s FEVE Lumiflon resin finishes offer unparalleled resistance against UV degradation, corrosion, chemical exposure, color fading, chalking, and diminished gloss. Backed by a 20-year warranty, Specular provides up to a 60-year life cycle.
