For the ceiling cladding in Glencore’s staff restaurant, the architectural firm opted for three different “ceiling systems”.

The largest area, covering over 300 m², was finished with a coffered ceiling.
This ceiling area has a grid of 1 x 1 m and is 20 cm deep. A sound-absorbing micro-panel installed on top ensures perfect acoustics.
As a second type of ceiling, individual sections were fitted with veneered baffles that are also 20 cm high. These baffles are mounted in a grid of approximately 250 mm. And last but not least, one section was also clad with micro-panels mounted across the entire surface.

The unifying element across all ceiling cladding is the same surface finish.
The choice was European ash, crown cut veneer, stained medium brown.

​​​​​​​In addition to manufacturing and supplying all this cladding, we were also able to work with our client, Plafondnova AG from Rotkreuz (ZG), to develop and deliver the installation solution.
