Project: New York, 2007, Product Lines N and P

In New York City Ian Schrager built a 11-floor apartment block at 40 Bond Street (opening 2007), designed by Herzog & de Meuron.

In front of the building is a sculptured gate (project NYC 2006). In embossed form (Product line N), this design of the gate is repeated on the stainless-steel walls in the hallway (above) and on the shimmering green metal façade (below, Photo Derrick Noh, September 2007, during mounting).

In perforated form the design of the sculptured gate continues on the ceiling of the hallway (Product line P).

Founder of EXYD Detlef Schobert, working under the supervision of the architects, developed the embossed and the perforated pattern. Later on EXYD produced and delivered the finished stainless-steel panels ready to fit in position. The coloration of the stainless steel surfaces was carried out by Inox-Color. Empire Architectural Metal of New York assembled the sections.
