Rehau's RAUVISIO Crystal collection takes inspiration from the human desire for both nature and technology.
Rehau has launched five new colourways in its popular RAUVISIO Crystal collection.
Each is reflective of both the human need for natural connection, and our desire for technological advancement. The team explains, "What was science fiction just a short while ago is now reality thanks to rapid technological change. At the same time, and in response to this supersonic digital transformation, sustainability and natural aesthetics have become core values.
"In view of the fascinating achievements of the machine, people long for natural harmony, but don’t want to do without technological innovations. They have awakened a desire for stability and consistency."
Rehau believes these poles have an impact on the colour worlds of the future too: taking inspiration for this particular collection from organic materials, which radiate calm and balance, while being characterised by clear structured order.
With the five new colours in mind, Rehau is once again reflecting the spirit of the moment.
The unique depth effect and the glass-like aesthetic of its surfaces in both matt and high-gloss finishes offer furniture manufacturers, carpenters, architects and commercial interior designers, options when creating their unique schemes.
"The smart glass is lighter and more resistant to breakage than real glass, and is also much easier to process with standard woodworking tools. This makes it possible to mill into the surface or from behind into the material to achieve additional backlighting", Rehau says.
The new shades reflect the current aforementioned themes to create a harmonious balance between nature and progress - evoking renewal and innovation in equal measure.
Meet the new colourways
Alba radiates natural energy. Its warm character conveys liveliness while remaining grounded – reflecting the sector's leaning towards authentic materials. Alba lends rooms an inviting atmosphere, and it can be harmoniously combined with natural materials and soft complementary tones.
Duna, on the other hand, is inspired by natural minerals and subtle earthy tones. It offers simple aesthetics for minimalist, Scandinavian-inspired design concepts.
Onda is a dark navy blue with petrol undertones. In this colourway, classic aesthetics meet digital coolness. With its strong but balanced presence, Onda gives rooms depth and structure. It's perfect for use in modern workspaces or urban living concepts.
Nuvola, a light, pastel shade of blue, embodies transparency and openness. Nuvola conveys modern calm and creates a balance between digital precision and natural serenity. The colourway is particularly suitable for rooms that promote concentration.
For Salvia, an organic appearance stands for vitality and regeneration. The chalky, pastel sage shade with a delicate grey component has a particularly inviting, regenerative effect in living and working areas - it's ideal for modern, naturally-inspired design concepts.
All five colours are now available in matt and high gloss. Customised fronts can be ordered via the surface configurator. Perfectly coordinated edge bands are also available to capture the look of furniture being “cast from a single mould”, as well as matching RAUVOLET crystal-line roller shutters with material-matching fronts with short delivery times.
