2D/3D
I was reminded in an interview with a German architect recently that surfaces are the last touchpoint of a proof of concept when it comes to an interior-architectural space. The most direct form of experience of a room for the user comes via how it feels. Literally. Add to that visual texture and it's clear that the superficial is anything but.
3M's architectural finishes – applied in the form of robust, self-adhesive overlays that are stain-, chemical- and UV-resistant – allow architects and planners to recast contract and residential interiors without the need for major works. Their expert window films, meanwhile, hit the sweet spot between light transmission and heat rejection. It's a 3M 2D-3D thing.
