U:up四ツ谷

The wood grain pattern, expressed with intricate printing technology, and the effect of sunlight filtering through the trees softly control the indoor environment, creating a warm, human atmosphere on Shinjuku Street that is not found in concrete and steel buildings.

The design used

Processing method used

Taking advantage of the properties of aluminum, it can be processed into a variety of shapes suitable for construction.

Cut Panels

By showing the sharp edges of the panel, it enhances the design sense and creates a luxurious feel.
・We recommend using 3mm thick sheets for the cut panels.
- If the thickness is 3mm, the marks left by the stud welding on the back side will not show on the surface.
- When cutting the plate, we recommend touching up the edges with ambient-drying fluorine paint.

Folding

Because the printing is done directly on the aluminium plate, the colour and pattern will stay in place even when it is bent. Unlike cut panels, no undercoat is required, which offers cost benefits.
・We recommend using 2mm thick plate material for bending.
・We recommend verifying the processing prior to mass production.
- When cutting the plate, we recommend touching up the edges with ambient-drying fluorine paint.
