True colors. For greater impact.

Culture

Striking the right note

Nothing is as expressive as color. We perceive it even before we recognise spaces, structures or furnishings. For Le Corbusier, it was just as powerful a medium as layout and profile. Bruno Taut saw joie de vivre and individuality integrated in color. And even today, architects highlight buildings using color, light and shade.

ChromaPlural is a versatile modular system offering planners maximum freedom of design in the form of 50 colors and 24 formats. The strong expressive power of vivid and luminous ceramic underlines the artistic character of cultural buildings. Giving rise to comprehensive concepts and designs of lasting beauty. And even successfully combining old with new, monuments with new buildings.
