One of the special experimental exhibits at the recent Toronto Interior Design Show in Canada featured "Vertebrae", an innovative sculptured couch constructed with DuPont Corian.
The beauty of the Vertebrae design is further enhanced with the use of embedded lights that create a soft diffuse glow through the Corian Illumination Series surface material.
The Vertebrae design was created by Bregman + Hamann Architects (B+H) of Toronto using three-dimensional digital tools.
B+H is one of Canada's largest and longest established full-service architecture firms.
"Each section of Corian is attached to the next using a flexible joint, thereby creating the curvaceous, segmented form," said Douglas Birkenshaw, a design leader and partner at B+H.
"We believe that this technique will ultimately be used to generate a variety of architectural accessories."
