EXYD produced six hundred customized stainless steel sheets with the surface EXYD-M. The surface of the sheets are shaped in a similar way, but in fact the embossing pattern of all sheets differ from each other.

Sottas, a leading Swiss engineering and steel construction company, built the EXYD-M sheets into their compact facade elements and mounted them, covering around 30,000 sq ft of the facade – and a few sq ft of the interior.
