How to Use This eBook

For specifying architects, this digital publication forms the go-to

resource for sourcing the most innovative, forward-thinking building-
products and manufacturers for use in projects. A link to the official
profile of each A+Award-winning brand is provided, where you
can contact manufacturers directly to ask for more information on
products, request a sample or schedule an in-person meeting.

To get the most out of this eBook, make sure to keep it top-of-mind
and use it as a reference point from the very beginning, during the
conceptual stages of each project. The earlier you collaborate with
manufacturers, the more efficiently they can work with you to help
bring your designs to life on the construction site.

The products showcased on the following pages all won A+Awards

this year, but they are just a starting point for further exploration. Each
manufacturer is constantly working to address the evolving needs
of architects and their clients. Be sure to reach out to them to learn
more about their current product range, and ask what they have in
development. Together, creative designers and product manufacturers
will shape the future of architecture!

thyssenkrupp Elevator’s new elevator solution MULTI harnesses the power of linear motor technology
PRODUCT INFO
to move multiple cars in a single shaft, both vertically and horizontally. The company has reimagined the
multi.thyssenkrupp-
elevator by removing the cables and equipping passenger cabins with linear motors. It is the world’s first
elevator.com
elevator that can open up new options for the transportation of people and architectural design.

Now, the long-pursued dream of operating multiple cabins in the same elevator shaft is made possible by
applying the linear motor technology of the magnetic levitation train Transrapid to the elevator industry.
MULTI will transform how people move inside buildings.

In a manner similar to a metro system operation, the MULTI design can incorporate various self-propelled
elevator cabins per shaft running in a loop, increasing the shaft transport capacity by up to fifty percent,
making it possible to reduce the elevator footprint in buildings by as much as fifty percent.

Using no cables at all, a multi-level brake system, and inductive power transfers from shaft to cabin, MULTI
requires smaller shafts than conventional elevators, and can increase a building’s usable area. The overall
increase in efficiency also translates into a lower requirement for escalators and additional elevator shafts,
resulting in significant construction cost savings.

ARki
Darf Design
PRODUCT INFO
ARki is an Augmented Reality gallery of architecture and a toolkit for 3D designers. The app provides
darfdesign.com
an innovative way of communicating 3D design using AR Technology, which can both educate and help
designers create engaging presentations.

The app showcases several prominent architectural projects across the world using 3D models directly
from the architects. Each project depicts the story behind the design using simple animations, and
interactive features which help demystify the complexities behind architectural design. The ARki toolkit
allows Architects and 3D designers the ability to create their own dynamic, mixed reality visualizations, and
produce engaging presentations which can better communicate the design process between teams.

The benefits of ARki within design and construction are multilayered. ARki can improve design
communication, enabling designers to understand their 3D projects from a spatial perspective by
superimposing 3D models into the real world. This allows teams to easily assess design problems, using
rapid large-scale visualization, which is carried across all stages of the design and construction workflow.

ARki can also reduce material consumption by utilizing digital models on-site. Finally, ARki can create site-
specific digital content by merging 3D information directly on-site. The app has been widely supported by
Apple, receiving a best architecture app in several countries.

KLH
PRODUCT INFO
Cross-laminated timber is made from spruce slats stacked atop of each other which are bonded using
klh.at/en
high press force and formaldehyde free adhesives to form large-format building elements. KLH® CLT is
a versatile building material characterized by its dimensional stability, dimensional accuracy and high level
of prefabrication. Therefore, KLH® solid wood superstructure components are used for structural wall,
floor slab and roof elements. KLH® solid wood elements can also be used as non-loadbearing building
components.

KLH® solid wood panels are available in three different visual surface qualities, which can be combined
as required. For all of those who want to experience pure nature, we offer a wide spectrum of visible
surfaces in different types of wood. Add design touch with brushed surfaces, which can be varied in degree
depending on the grade of the brush. The biaxial qualities of the CLT provide multitude opportunities
for exciting architectural designs. The possibility of combining KLH solid wood boards with all other
construction materials to make a useful material mix offers almost unlimited freedom in construction. KLH
solid wood boards are produced exclusively to order. The structure and thickness of the multilayer boards,

Super Metal Future Collection
Pure + FreeForm
PRODUCT INFO
Super Metal Future, a collection of twelve unique finishes, reduces metal into simple terms and pure forms.
purefreeform.com
Dominated by raw aluminum surfaces manipulated by organic pigments, each finish is sealed in with a new
clear coat technology. With a strong attention to texture, reflection and luminosity, all paired with natural
colors, this collection is a pure manifestation of the manufacturer’s anticipation of the future of metal.

The aluminum is single skin, non-combustible, without a reportable VOC content, one hundred percent
recyclable, and contains post-consumer recycled content. The products are ready to use with a sixty-year
lifecycle for exterior applications. The twelve metal skin designs are printed on 1.2 x 3 m (4 x 10 ft)
aluminum sheets of varying gauges using a customized offset gravure process.

Although certain projects may benefit from the natural oxidation of natural metals, where the patina is
induced by the building’s surroundings, current trends are largely driven by the desire for the finish to
remain unchanged and contextual, or specific to that project. This new clear coat process allows the
designer ultimate control over the finish by utilizing raw aluminum, organic pigments and Lumiflon resins,
yielding a broad range of color, gloss and pattern.

PRODUCT INFO
Blending materials found in nature with exceptional sound absorption capabilities, BuzziMood is a playful
buzzi.space
acoustical wall solution from BuzziSpace that offers an organic alternative to conventional noise control
solutions by utilizing preserved reindeer moss as its primary material.

Designed by Cory Grosser + Associates in collaboration with BuzziSpace, BuzziMood was conceived in
direct response to today’s changing officescape and a growing demand for improved wellbeing in the
workplace. As greenery in contract environments has been shown to improve employee happiness and
productivity, BuzziMood, as its name suggests, works to this effect by promoting a more relaxed and
calm atmosphere with its lush, botanical appearance. In addition, moss is an excellent, naturally occurring
absorber of sound.

BuzziMood embraces the benefits and depth of natural materials within the constraints of structured
acoustic wall panels. Its standard framed moss option is available in seven geometric shapes and two
moss colors, a dark and light green, which lend varying degrees of contrast against the powder coated
metal frames. BuzziMood’s panels also come in an upholstered fabric option, which can be paired with the
reindeer moss for maximum acoustic performance.

Klavins Piano M450i
KLAVINS PIANO
PRODUCT INFO
The Klavins Model 450i is the world’s first Vertical Concert Grand Piano. Every aspect of its core design is
klavins-pianos.com
focused towards creating the best sound possible. With a massive soundboard featuring Klavins’ unique
double layer design and bass strings that extend nearly 4,000 mm in length, the 450i features none of the
compromises inherent to all other concert grand pianos. The result is a sound that is uniquely rich and clear
across the entire range.

The steel frame (carrying 20 tons of force generated by the 246 total strings) provides a simple and
graceful shape to the 450i while also providing an ample platform for further customization on form and
material to fit the space the piano will enter. The piano is also designed to be integrated directly to the
architecture of its intended home, much like an organ in a concert hall.

The designing of the Model 450i was a process in seeking new heights in what is possible in a concert
piano. Rather than relying on the century-old conventions that have arrested the progression of the piano
as an instrument, the 450i was conceived with the conviction that there are truly infinite new possibilities in
instrument design.

Tidal Series
Workshop/APD for Warp & Weft
PRODUCT INFO
This collaboration was based off Workshop/APD’s longtime relationship with the Nantucket, Massachussetts
workshopapd.com
coastline, and interest in bringing the firm’s contemporary aesthetic to textiles through interpretations of
sea and shore, as seen from an aerial approach to the island. Over the last twenty years, the team has
designed countless projects on Nantucket, drawing endless inspiration for each residence from the ocean,
the coastline, and the local climate. It was no different with this product collaboration where each grouping
in the collection was intended to bring the landscape’s textures, shapes and hues to life and into residential
and commercial spaces with a luxe, sophisticated aesthetic that transcends the traditional definition of a
coastally-inspired aesthetic.

The series’ dynamic parallel lines evoke the continuous crest of waves breaking against each other. The
places where they intersect and react with each other create a dynamic visual effect in the series’ three
styles, giving them a 3D quality in both one and two-dimensional constructions. Thanks to a best-in-class
partner, the firm was able to realize incredibly nuanced designs that combine exceptional construction,
varying texture, subtle, sophisticated color, and unique materiality that express the firm’s love of this
complex landscape in a modern way.

Nutopia
Mohawk Group
PRODUCT INFO
Nutopia is an award-winning commercial carpet plank system from Mohawk Group inspired by the idea of
mohawkgroup.com
“urban fabric,” where humankind coexists with buildings, streets and other infrastructure. The collection’s
designers looked at metaphors for how urban design can translate into patterns of balance, acceptance
and integration. Nutopia officially debuted to the architecture and design community at NeoCon’s fiftieth
anniversary exposition last year.

Created to transition across the floor or create defined areas in the built environment, Nutopia’s four 30 x
90 cm (12 x 36 in) tufted plank styles—Urban Canvas, Urban Field, Urban Fringe and Urban Passage—can
be used together as a cohesive system, or separately depending on the desired configuration, end use
and budget. Layouts can be subtle, or vivid and dramatic, just like the dynamics of city life. The collection
features Mohawk Group’s new innovative yarn system, Heathered Hues. This sustainable fiber’s natural
texture and blending provides a variegated wool-like appearance as Mohawk Group’s most natural-looking
fiber to date.

Nutopia planks come standard on Mohawk Group’s Red List-free EcoFlex NXT polyolefin-based carpet
tile backing, which supports dimensional stability, resists unraveling for clean edges, and prevents water
damage and mildew growth.

infrastructure upgrades, as well as renovations to stations themselves, including new linear wood-plank
ceilings. Because the stations are exposed to weather, solid Western Red Cedar was specified with a clear
fire-retardant finish.

The solid wood planks are well-suited to exterior applications and the longitudinal design gives platforms
an elegant warm look that has been favorably reviewed by many subway riders. The innovative plank system
design overcame the harsh conditions of these New York City elevated transit stations while providing a
beautiful, long-lasting and noise-mitigating ceiling surface.

Endless
Luna Textiles
PRODUCT INFO
Endless has been engineered to push the technical and technological limits of Jacquard weaving, while
lunatextiles.com
embracing both systematic and artistic expression. Created in “Processing,” a programming language for
visual design, Endless employs the use of code to generate a “non-repeating,” randomized design that
spans the full fabric width and has an “endless” (repeat) height.

To create the design, Luna worked closely with resource partners to develop a new methodology for
pattern generation, which allows for virtually unlimited variation. The approach included looking at three
parameters to accomplish the design: Code, and its power to create permutations of design elements; the
Computational Limits of producing and weaving an extended design file; and the Mechanical Constraints of
the Jacquard loom.

With references to the artist, Endless’s orthogonal composition reveals an order among abstract forms,
creating a unique yet balanced surface for any interior. In keeping with its muse, Endless is offered in a
crisp palette of bold primaries and high contrast neutrals.

The Coolest White
UNStudio BV with Monopol Colors
PRODUCT INFO
The dark-colored, heat-retaining materials that are used to construct the buildings in our cities are one of the
unstudio.com
main causes of the urban heat island effect. Buildings absorb solar radiation and store heat from the sun, which
means they not only require large amounts of energy to achieve adequate interior cooling, but the absorbed
heat is also released into the surrounding urban environment. As global warming threatens to exacerbate this
problem, there is a pressing need for intelligent solar heat management solutions for our cities.

“The Coolest White” is an ultra-durable paint that protects buildings and urban structures from excessive
solar radiation—thus slowing down the urban heat island effect. While darker materials absorb up to 95
percent of the sun’s rays and releases them straight back into the atmosphere, this value can be reduced to
25 percent with a normal white surface. Now, with “The Coolest White,” for the first time ever, it is possible to
reduce absorption and emission to 12 percent.

When designing Paravan, Lievore Altherr had in mind contexts that would need a softer, more discrete
solution to defining space. For these situations, the design duo would need to create something minimal
and adaptable, but not completely visually anonymous. Paravan was created as a solution to organizing

permutations, highlighting an aesthetic of simplicity. Cascadia is an expansion of the technique McCormick
used to create his popular Dawn chandelier, reimagined through the use of its custom-made LED tubing
and the beautiful, opaline glow it emits.

Distinguished by its slender shape and the soft gradation of light from its handmade, artisan glass tubing,
Cascadia pendants are articulated and finished by its hand-polished metal fitting. The soft glow of the
pendant is achieved through an opaline LED hue, balanced by the more industrial look of the metallic
accents. Whether hanging alone as a delicate fixture over a bedside table, undulating over a dining table
or cascading down a grand stairwell in a showering effect, the technical precision of Cascadia cohesively
translates into a piece that is both contemporary and timeless.

Arco
FLOS
PRODUCT INFO
The iconic Arco floor lamp was designed by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni in 1962. It is one of the
flos.com
few lamps from FLOS that has been in continious production since its introduction to the market.

The Castiglioni brothers loved to play around with designs that were both technically innovative and visually
appealing. Taking inspiration from a mere streetlight, the brothers wanted to create a lamp that people did
not have to walk around. For this to work, the base had to be at least two meters away from the actual light.
They used commercially available parts and found that curved steel angle iron worked perfectly with their
design. They opted for a marble base as a counterweight instead of concrete because the same weight
took up less space, and also because they could obtain a better finish for a lower cost. The decision was
made to drill a circular hole through the marble base so that it could easily be lifted and carried by two
people by slipping a broom through the hole.

The base of this lamp is genuine Carrera marble, and this supports a spun aluminum reflector via a curved
stainless steel adjustable stem. The height extends to almost seven feet, alowing the lamp to illuminate any
surface desired. The Arco floor lamp is available in LED or incandescent and provides direct and indirect light.

Dent
Modular Lighting Instruments
PRODUCT INFO
Dent is the luminaire with a playful personality. Looking one way, and then another. Its design is enigmatic,
supermodular.com
as is the light it provides. Alone on a residential wall, it’s minimalistic and beautiful. Together in a large public
space, they become an artful lightscape with puzzling lines and angular paths.

Dent is an excellent candidate for an art installation that demands minimalistic beauty, originality and
function. One, two, or even several units of different shapes and colors can be combined in wildly playful
patterns and landscapes that enhance the mathematical cleverness and playfulness of the design. Dent is
an ultra-thin wall fixture that fits in a number of residential and hospitality environments. Narrow hallways,
large spaces, cozy spaces, or walls of any dimension.

Dent comes in two sizes. Small comes as a square, and Medium is rectangular. Both are available in a
black or white structure finish, giving the luminaire character and texture. The dent created by the signature
diagonal line gives the fixture even more depth. Splitting the luminaire in two sides, the enigmatic line is like
a defining moment.

Looking Glass Collection
Workshop/APD for SA Baxter
PRODUCT INFO
workshopapd.com The original concept for this bespoke hardware suite designed by Workshop/APD was established during
several visits to SA Bater’s Foundry & Design Studio in New York’s Hudson Valley. At the foundry, the team
saw the transformation of raw ingots into molten metal, and then into finely burnished and textured castings.
With this understanding of the process and craft involved in the creation of the bespoke hardware suites the
design team was able to build upon the foundation of natural materials and explore other pairings of texture,
tone and materiality. For this collection, the two-tone designs were inspired by the raw forms of bisected
geode crystals which have both rough exteriors and the surprise of gleaming interiors. The result is a design
of elongated, rounded, organic shapes that feature a combination of polished and matte surfaces. The suite is
comprised of Door Knobs, Door Levers, Escutcheon Plates, Door Pulls, Thumbturns, Cabinet Pulls and Pocket
Pulls. All pieces in this suite are custom order and come in a variety of sizes.

Cable Guide System
Phantom Screens
PRODUCT INFO
Phantom’s cable guide system is the newest option available within our family of motorized retractable
phantomscreens.com
screens. The cable guides are ideal for solar shading applications, particularly on windows, glass walls and
open outdoor structures. Not every covered outdoor space has posts to mount tracks onto, which is where
our cable-guided system can be applied. Our screens can be secured with cables that are mounted from
the roller to a floor or vertical surface (such as a railing, wall, etc.).

Not only does the cable guide system provide structural benefits, its self-tensioning technology helps keep
the cables taut in varying outdoor conditions, reducing the need for maintenance. The system can fit a
variety of sizing configurations between 7.6 x 3.3 m (25 x 11 ft) or 6 x 3 m (20 by 9 ft). Also, the solar
screens can be integrated into home automation systems or applied to smart controls with sun and wind
sensors.

Most competitive products place the tensioning adjustment on visible anchors creating a bulky look.
Phantom’s self-adjusting system is hidden away in the recessed ceiling cavity or roller housing. Additionally,
the floor anchor is one of the lowest profiles on the market.
