Innovative use of composite vinyl was key to creating an exciting atmostphere. In the entrance foyer, a variety of products was used in the design of two spectacular globe motifs. From the foyer, a promenade leads visitors around the exhibits with flooring effects - incl. various Meteor beaten metal finishes and slate products - which change to reflect the character of each exhibit.
