Vapor
A lightweight, multi-layered material with overlapping mirror and iridescent patterns in varying orientations, VAPOR™ explodes into life when back-lit, revealing a full spectrum of color.
Patterns
Currently available in 7 dynamic and scalable patterns. Vapor patterns have a bright and intriguing “shadowy” depth that is revealed with back-lighting. Another distinguishing feature of Vapor is its complete transformation with changes in angle of viewing and ambient conditions. This uniquely sensitive phenomenon is demonstrated in the image above where the same pieces are simply fanned out.
Patterns are customizable.
Vapor is very sensitive to and transforms dramatically with changes in ambient lighting conditions.
Material for all the light boxes in this image were layered exactly the same. The ones that appear dark red were placed in a dark environment while those that are a lively blue were in a well lit space.
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.
Options & Custom Services
Computational design allows for customization of patterns and their layout in the panel.
Resin is able to be fabricated into all available edge and corner conditions.
Glass panels can have a flat polished edge
Thermoforming allows materials to be curved to precise radii.
Precise shapes and letters can be fabricated from materials.
Fabrication into 3-D shapes yields seamless transitions.
Etching is another tool for customization of the material for signage, branding and wayfinding designs.
Lighting adds the final finishing touch to a design. It can be provided pre-assembled as part of the solution.
Concealed installation or visible decorative hardware can be packaged with the solution.

Color
Overall, Vapor has a contemporary mirror appearance punctured with layered patterning. Both layers are specifiable and an interlayer is often selected to go between them.
Patterns
Axis, Braid, Eddy, Flurry, Hoops, Meteor, Oculus; Variations in pattern “scale” (size of individual pattern motifs) and “density” (number of pattern motifs) are available.
Weight
2 (1/4" thick) Pounds/ Sq. foot
6 (1/2" thick) Pounds/ Sq. foot
Interlayers (Optional)
Iridescent films, custom film colors, and transparent art films
Illumination
Back-lit for optimal effect.
Ambient lighting also reveals the layered pattern but not as intensely as back-lighting.
Back-lighting Color and Control Options
White in 2700k, 3000k, 4000k and 6500k.
RGBW, Tunable While and Addressable lighting.
Single Color systems can be on/off or 0-10V dimming.
Tunable, RGBW and addressable systems can be programmed and controlled via DMX or Dali protocols.
Water resistant options available.
