Dekton, an aesthetic and functional solution

Para el Banco Clientis de Oberuzwil, una identidad local fuerte es importante, y el pragmático mostrador de su recepción, es prueba de ello. Con su superficie perfilada con precisión, conecta la estética de los Prealpes appenzelleses con la confianza que los clientes depositan en el negocio. Su superficie de alta calidad ha sido fabricada utilizando el material ultracompacto Dekton, de Cosentino.

Switzerland is famous for its financial industry. Around 260 financial institutions are based in the alpine republic, from global players to local financial providers who, like Clientis Bank, take care of small and mid-sized companies, institutions and private clients with their particularly customer-focused service. When the regional bank in Oberuzwil moved into a new building, 85d Innenarchitektur was commissioned to design the interior.

“The walls and floors in the open reception area are very bright, with a warm, soft lighting effect”, says Silvan Derungs, an interior designer at 85d. “Although the overall architectural concept is understated in terms of style and colour, the reception area is a striking focal point. The crystalline form reflects the values and strong foundation of the bank, which is situated at the foot of the nearby Säntis and Churfirsten mountains”.

Reflejando valores y solidez

“Los clientes pueden ser recibidos rápida y fácilmente en un mostrador a dos niveles”, explica el carpintero Luzio Egli. “Coordinamos sus características y dimensiones con el equipo de 85d utilizando una muestra 1:1, in situ, según los requisitos de los clientes y el personal del banco. Los elementos adheridos al mueble, en forma de salientes, ofrecen lugares donde los clientes pueden acomodar sus objetos personales y sus bolsos. Además, también era importante integrar mesas elevadoras eléctricas y cajas fuertes en el lado de los asesores”.

For durable, high-quality and easy-care furniture, Clientis agreed to the recommendation to use Dekton by Cosentino in the colour “Galema” for the surface. Dekton consists entirely of natural minerals, which are combined in a sintering process under high pressure and heat. The UV-resistant, solid-coloured and ultra-compact material is available in sizes up to 324 x 147 cm and thicknesses from 0.4 to 2 cm.

Una marca con carácter

“The main obstacle was constructing the complex furniture in such a way so that the surface and cabinet have a monolithic texture and colour, and all components sit exactly flush,” explains Egli. During the renovation work, the Dekton panels for the FEINHARD surfaces were cut to a custom design and profile for the 3.46 m², 1.2 cm thick counter surface. In just a few days, this was placed and fitted to the cabinet, which was as yet untreated.

Next, the furniture was disassembled once again in order to complete the beautifully textured painting on the front panels. Finally, the “marriage” between the cabinet and the surface took place on-site, at the bank. The extensive and detailed preparations paid off: The front panel and DEKTON surfaces are perfectly matched. The homogeneous surfaces and high-precision edge details make the reception counter a distinctive trademark.
