Celeste
A slender, customizable, back-lit canvas that gives infinite depth and dimension to any design.
Featured Applications
Three-dimensional, fully customizable signage, artwork, and other space-defining feature elements in a self-contained, easy-to-maintain and energy-efficient format are the most apt applications for Celeste.
Wall
Celeste panels were used for this unique design by the NY and Toronto offices of Perkins+Will for the 12th floor elevator lobby of Indeed's office in Toronto. A flick of a switch transforms the elegant contemporary mirrors to reveal logos, letters and icons that replicate infinitely within the sleek profile of our panels.
Branding
Pandora music’s Atlanta office, designed by Nelson, features a custom made Celeste Signage panel. The infinite reverberations of the Brand’s logo at different scales create a mesmerizing effect. The Celeste panels with back lighting and invisible hanging hardware make for a self contained solution that is quick and easy to install.
Resin
Traditional infinity mirrors have size restrictions, and even a frame surrounding the mirror, limiting their use as larger expansive and expressive design elements. By capturing the infinity effect into a single laminated panel, Celeste resolves these challenges into a contemporary and elegant design solution.
Resin allows the material to remain lightweight and flexible.
Glass
Celeste™ is a unique tool in the designer’s toolbox that affords complete control over thicknesses, sizes, and patterns, all the while using highly energy efficient illumination. This makes it a perfect solution for the retail, hospitality, display, and signage industries.
The all-glass configuration of Celeste is Class A fire rated with the durability of laminated safety glass, and the ability to be used both indoors and outdoors.
Environmentally friendly and Sustainable
As well as creating innovative, dynamic spaces, light-manipulating materials will not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during their production or their lifecycle, making them safe for use in an interior environment. They are PVC- and formaldehyde-free and contain no chemicals of concern.
Third party verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD's), Health Product Declaration (HPD)s as well as recycled content certification is available for our materials.
