WE‘RE DESIGNING WTH YOU. YOUR IDEA, MADE OF MOLTEN STONE.

Nise The Famil y Gmbh | Schaffhauserstrasse 468 | 8052 Zürich | info@NiseTheFamil y.com

P R O LO G U E 8000 years ago, the first loam rendering was applied on a wall during the „Körös“-Culture.

When the Renaissance began, masters like Da Vinci created their own monuments with frescoes and left the work of a lifetime which is hard to reach today.

Now we are situated in the 21st century, where we can connect the technical possibilities of our time with traditional knowledge, to create completely new services.

4

A H EA R T M A D E O F M O LT E N S TO NE Our concept is based on a natural product made of powdered stone, lime & water, which we can mix into every imaginable color for you and apply it to your wall through a stencil-procedure.

Depending on the application area you can choose up to ten different basic products and every one of them has its own texture.

Using special tools we can shape every one of these materials as you want them to be.

Our products are long-lasting and very durable.

Since they are water-repellent, there is no obstacle in using them in a watery environment.

Through this oppurtunity our technique replaces the mosaic, because you don‘t have to work with square stones anymore. We are able to print the stone as an oscillated line or plane.

6

TA ILOR - M A D E P L A S T E R D E S I G N We have developed our own printing technique, which allows us to imprint walls with molten stone on the basis of vector-data.

Whether you like to have the logo of your company in your meetingroom, your own family crest in the livingroom or a landscape in the entrance hall, we design it with you and apply it. In doing so, we connect a traditional technique from the ancient world with tailor-made design and the industrial possibilities from this day and age.

Through the preparation of the vector-files we are not bound to a specific size - from 50 centimeters to 5 meters - as soon as the design is digitalized, we can work on any size.

C O R P O R AT E I D E NT I T Y Every company has its own face, its own soul. In nearly every case a specific feeling has to be communicated to the customer when he approaches the brand. Also when he enters a room related to the brand.

Manipulating The Senses Color and form have always been an essential part in addressing a human in a subtle, nonverbal way.

The higher the customer grades your premises, the more your services or products are experienced in the same way.

8

Eternalising Your Identity With our printing technique it is possible to eternalise the identity of your brand with molten stone.

The color is given by your predetermined values and is worked directly into the wall.

Depending on if the image of your company is represented by a logo, a unique color-combination or a specific slogan, we can design it seperatly as a single wall-design or as an overall concept. During this process, we are also looking for a harmonic interaction with the interior decoration.

How Your Brand Takes The Room Through a personal meeting we can define the ambience, statement, form & structure of the identity of your brand.

During this process, the focus lies on the ideal use of the room: How are employees motivated the most? What pleases your customers the most? Or should it be an exact implementation of an already existing design?

If you wish, we can use the experience of many years as graphic designers to add certain elements to your corporate design.

We can also do an adjustment to preexisting elements or undertake a complete revision of your corporate design.

As soon as the dimension of the task ist clear, we create a digital sketch or visualisation as a 3Danimation so you can value the textures, situation of light and the ambience better.

This draft will be discussed with you, so we can optimize the design. We then order the pigmented material according to your brand and prepare the stencil-foils.

Part of the final draft will be an exact schedule so you can survey every stage of our working process.

TH E S H OW R O O M

The Office As a design house, the perception of our own brand-identity is very important to us. That‘s why we implemented it in the walls of our own office.

One of our main concerns is about establishing form and color in a functional way. The anthracitegreen as example stands for our foundation. Giving this color its worthy weight, we placed it in the bottom part of the entrance-area and contrasted it with a concretestructure which has a subtle hint of silver.

The soft shadow we added with nitro-acrylic spray. The golden lettering is slightly embedded into the wall, which is what causes a discreet pattern of light and shadow.

12

While working on every single area we paid attention to achieve fluid transitions. For example the spot where the wall meets the table. Plastering this surface also makes it a part of the ambience.

Additonally, every person that works on this table has direct contact with the material itself.

As soon as the forearms are touching the tabletop, you are drawn in and become immediately interested in the material.

You can feel the natural essence of the stone and really start to enjoy working in this place.

C IR C L E O F W H I T E The middle part of the office with its white circle is an allusion of our logo, the heart.

Here the drawing takes place and according to this process, you need silence. This area should free the mind and grant the tranquility which is needed to create.

In our branding, the white stands for the urge to create, because a white piece of paper is an invitation for every artist to allow his creativity to flow freely.

Every artist that works in this place gets reminded of the fact, that he is a part of a very old tradition and

16

can always learn a lot from the old masters.

The beige stands for the man as a human being, and since it outlines the white, it symbolises the human relation to art, which may never be forgotten during the process of creation.

Corporate Identity

Corporate Identity

17

G O LD E N I C E C R E A M In the rear area of the office we placed our light table, to refine drawings and experiment with different styles. This work must be handled with sensitivity and concentration, beause every stroke has to be precisely executed.

Here it is important that the final steps can be realised with a relaxed state of mind.

20

Because of this, a positive vibe is conducted through the walls.

The walls have been structured first with a rough plastering and varnished afterwards with a gradient from white to rose with nitro-acrylic-spray.

In our branding, rose stands for passion because this color acts calming yet empowering at the same time.

Corporate Identity

The stripes of gold and copper contrast the gradient area. They define a pattern, which breaks out when it touches the ceiling.

The metallic tones ennoble the varnished wall and the youthful colorscheme gets complemented with a traditional one. Through that, a harmonic balance is achieved.

Here, the lettering has not been engraved into the wall in the same

way as behind the computer, instead it was applied on top of the existing surface.

To reinforce this effect we added a casting shadow with nitro-acrylicspray. The decision of positioning our slogan in this corner was made because of the fact that it is often just a thin line between controlled line management and an expressive stroke.

Corporate Identity

21

H U MA N B R A N D I N G If you commission a custom-made garment, you want to decide upon the color, the patterning and every subtle detail by yourself.

We are offering exactly that, applied on walls and every other absorbent subsurface.

24

TH E B E D R O O M Our Human Branding concept can be tread upon and observed as a bedroom-situation in our showroom. We decided to adjust the room for a 30-year-old designer, who wants a Greek atmosphere in his bedroom. He creates his work-life-balance by painting

and dancing. His strong bond with his family sets his mental foundation.

Next to quietness and recovery, his creative batteries have to be charged through this room. This is why the room has to embody a playful freedom.

Human Branding

25

YO U R P ER S O NA L M O NU M E NT The painting in the bedroom is 2x2 meters. The technique is a mix of plastering & nitro-acrylic-spray.

The single color-areas are worked seamlessly onto each other, so no dirt or dust can settle inside. While creating this picture, we wanted to leave the textures enough room to unfold their natural look and

28

still react to the emerging forms.

Through this, many special details came into being, be it the irregular mix of the color batches or the swinging design of the hairs. All of this can‘t be planned and gives the painting a uniqueness that can‘t be duplicated.

Human Branding

V IS U A LI Z E P E R S O NA L I T Y

During the ideation we went back to where it all started: The time where humans could not explain the forces of nature with science and began to define a society-structure through ethical rules.

The mythology granted mankind an insight to the weakness of the human existence. At the same time it showed of one‘s own inimitability.

We wanted to connect both with the present.

Luckily, with the vast family tree of the gods in Greek mythology, we found points of contact to our fictitious customer very quickly.

The bond to his family, which gives him daily stability, was the strongest emotion to us. So we looked for a son in greek mythology who had an influcence on the bed-chamber. We found Hypnos, the god of sleep, sired by Nyx, goddess of the night and Erebos, the personified gloom.

Human Branding

29

TH E WAY W E WO R K Based on your identity, we pursue the essence of your design preferences during a personal meeting. You designate the scope within which we are allowed to move through your experiences, knowledge and point of view.

Next to your vision we also discuss the use of the room, the desired ambience, the light-situation and the furniture that we have to consider while designing.

Because of our experience with masonry we know exactly how every surface should be handled, in which period of time it is possible and where we have to be careful to avoid potential damages or defilement.

Then we create a first draft for you.

Depending on your wish, this can be a digital sketch in photoshop, a visualization in Cinema 4D or even a 3D-Animation if you like to walk through your room before its even existing.

Human Branding

Due to our know-how as designers from the fields of fashion and graphic-design, we can draw from our collective minds and use our inspiration to know exactly where to place our research to give an idea of the necessary finish.

As soon as you are pleased with the draft, the material will be ordered, the sketches digitalized and the stencil-foils prepared for application.

Through the stencils, we can guarantee that the result won‘t deviate from the approved draft.

M AT E R I A L S We have designed our offer so you can choose a texture, decide which color it should have and refine it if you like with glazes, or set an accent with real metallic paint.

Preparation

Application Areas

Before your surface can be worked with, there has to be a skim coat on the wall. Since we are primarily designers and not plasterers, this has to be done in advance.

We can plaster smaller areas, but for larger projects the walls have to be prepared correctly.

Every single material within our offer is durable, long-lasting and comes with little maintenance.

Since every material is breathable and antifungal, they all create a healthy indoor climate.

The compounding varies depending on the application area: In living rooms we apply different materials than in wet areas.

That‘s why we‘ve created a separate offer for every area.

On the skim coat we apply a quartz sand primer, which has to dry for at least 10 hours to guarantee the bonding course between the subsurface and material.

Every room that has to be plastered needs a temperature of at least five degrees, otherwise the plastering will get cracks and we can not guarantee a perfect result.

Basically we can apply our materials to every absorbent surface.

Through this fact, there are nearly no boundaries for your fantasy. We are looking forward to advising you personally about the existing possibilites.

TEXTURES It is your decision whether we apply a strongly structured texture or if it should be as smooth as glass.

We can customize the level and intensitity of every texture as you wish.

With the usage of different tools we can transform your surface with a thin layer of real stone into a jointless natural stone wall with the texture according to your taste.

33

S TO NE T E X T U R E S A personalizable piece of nature is what our stonetextures stand for. You decide about delineation, running direction or the depth of the structure. This selection is designed as a thought-provoking impulse, because the possibilites are nearly endless. We would love to advise you personally.

For these textures, please choose colors from the colorchart STONECOLORS.

The mineral Marble-PuzzolanPlaster on the basis of alabaster supplied with volcanic rock-grain, that is characteristic of the structure which is created during application. The texture will be rough if you‘re looking for a rustic effect, or flattened if you like a more discreet structure.

With the material on the basis of limestone we recommend less structured textures, because then there is no risk of damage due to deposits or remnant water.

The water-repellent Marble-Puzzolan-Plaster on the basis of limestone is applied 3-5 mm thick to guarantee the water resistency.

Here we recommend only discreet structurered textures, otherwise the risk of damage due to deposits or remnant water is present.

MOD U LA R S O LU T I O NS We wouldn‘t be designers if we would be bound to fixed walls.

Every surface that isn‘t water repellent can basically be printed on. So if you have a wall unit, a fitment or a background in your shop window that fits the seasons - we register the masses, print your logo, slogan or subject in the plastering and prepare everything, so you just have to place it as you desire.

42

Our printing technique is very suitable for high qualtiy lettering and since the result is very resistant, we can also print advertising gifts next to objects which you or your customers use daily.

How will your brand be regarded by a fair potential of clients, if your whole booth looks like a marblepalace with logos embossed in walls, tables and floors, but is seen from the buildup effort to be similiar to light weight construction?

Please don‘t hesitate to discuss non-standard ideas with us - we‘re not restricted to walls and always have a strong urge to push the limits of our technique!

BAC KG R O U ND

Fashion & Art What started as an idea for a fashion label couldn‘t stand a more accurate market- and chance-analysis. The competition was hard fought, the swiss market comparatively small. But the motivation to create has always stayed present.

Because the craft of a mason, the stylistic assurance of a fashiondesigner, the sense of creation of a graphic-desinger and the spelling style of a journalist had to result in a very interesting cut surface from our point of view. Especially if you‘re connected to art for over a decade in a very intense way.

Utilisation Of Synergies We knew that only a specialisation would allow us to fill a market gap. After we took apart the skills and spheres of actitivities of both persons, we put them together in a new way.

The result was the idea of a printing technique, which could be used to print self designed subjects with plaster into walls. To us, the very important traditional craftwork is essential as the possibility, to com-

Development pete with today‘s industry. And we did it: By using color batches, waxes and nitro-acrylics, we‘re able to create subtle details and smooth gradients into our images, and for the stencil-technique we have to create every element just once digitally, before we can apply it in any order.

The first tests were very promising.

After a seminar in Venice, where we received a deeper insight into the application-technique and the composition of the material, we could bring our technique to perfection.

Because of that, our client saves in case of multiple applications not only the design-costs, he also owns several prints.

And every single one is handmade & unique. Efficiency and uniqueness of a work of art are both very important to us.

Over the years we learned that a team can learn and achieve much more than an individual.

A single mind is always alone with its thoughts. But if you share your creativity, new ideas can grow exponentially, exploring new ways between different fields.

So we built up a big family of artists, craftsmen and otherwise talented individuals.

If you‘re looking for a style which we can‘t handle perfectly, we have options for every case, to achieve it through collaborations.

Because at the end of every chain of thought stands your satisfaction as our client.

COSTS Since every room has different dimensions and specifications, there is no overall price: Every offer looks dfferent because of the personalisation.
