Introducing New Pattern to the Minamo panel®
A more pronounced ripple effect developed in response to customer demand
KIKUKAWA, a bespoke metal architect for interiors and exteriors, added a new pattern to its Minamo panel® range on September 21, 2021. Minamo panels® are mirror-polished stainless steel panels embossed with beautiful rippling patterns, hence the name Minamo, meaning “Water Ripple”.
KIKUKAWA launched the Minamo panel® range in April 2021 with a line-up of three standard patterns. The range prompted huge interest among customers, thanks to the unique way in which the delicate ripple patterns spread and shimmer across the panels. A number of customers inquired whether the ripple pattern could be made more pronounced, in response to which we have added a new pattern to our standard line-up: P-1 “Seseragi” (meaning “babbling stream”), with more pronounced rippling than our existing patterns.
We are confident that this four-strong line-up will help designers to visualise and make the best choices for their projects. We also expect to see a broadening in the range of designs and projects which feature these beautiful Minamo panels®.
