1. For Architects This is Senso’s book for architects. Besides inspiration it provides the most important information on seamless castfloors and wall coverings. It helps you to understand their benefits. It explains characteristics helping you to advise your clients well. And the book gives an overview of which floor or wall solution is required for which purpose.

Interior architecture has increasingly become a more important aspect of architecture. There is increasing awareness that design offers positive (economical) effects on customers and employees alike, and so on the success of a company overall.

2

With awareness, demand for quality, detail and complexity increases. Which in turn makes interior designers depend more on suppliers to meet demand and quality. This increases the role of a supplier to surpass the level of standard manufacturing of a standard product.

Senso actively partners with architects, helps to foresee technical and practical consequences of the envisioned design, meets interior ideas with product technology, offers advice in overall layout and maintenance, manages the practical issues with the client, and discusses the technical complexities with the contractor. Contact us and sense the difference.

5. Application All Senso’s flooring systems are fluid when applied. The systems are characterised by the fact that they are built up layer-by-layer, application of which is done entirely by hand. Attention to humidity, draught, dust, inequalities and detail is therefore extremely important.

To ensure quality of application, all Senso teams undergo training of up to a full year under strict company guidelines before being individually qualified.

11

6. Research & Development Senso uses a significant part of our turnover for R&D. We experiment with new systems in our own facilities and tests traffic patterns, material wear, usage, interior issues, legal requirements and technical designs. The company surveys its customers, analyses its successes as well as its failures and visits all the projects possible in order to learn more.

12

The company constantly innovates, creating the shortest time-to-market of new products in the industry. The company puts great attention to environmental issues. Senso systems are leading in that they are nontoxic, entirely solvent-free, and have some of the lowest VOC-emissions significantly helping our customers achieving their goal of a ‘Green Building’.

8.9 IMPRESSIONS by Senso & Marcel Wanders An innovative, unique transparent flooring system INCORPORATING any digital design in a seamless floorING SOLUTION. Based on Senso’s Freeze technologie, Impressions is designed by Marcel Wanders, one of the internationally most renowned contemporary designers. Philippe Starck about Marcel Wanders: ‘He is in my opinion the only designer of the new generation that is truly making an impact.’

‘It’s more about the texture than the colour,’ says Marcel Wanders about his Impressions designs. ‘Some textures look almost edible, like chocolate. I love opposites: the combination of old and new, modern and classic, polished and robust. And I am a fan of the hardstone floors you find in churches. That has served as an inspiration for Impressions.’

Use this internationally acclaimed floor product from a topdesigner to make a truly remarkable impact with your interior.

LAGUZZO WALL COVERING

162

9.0 LAGUZZO Wall Covering by Senso entirely seamless wallcovering from STONE Laguzzo is a robust wall covering made from ground rock, excavated from quarries around Firenzuola, Italy. The ground rock is mixed in a unique way with binders and plastered by hand to form a seamless wall covering. It gives the minimalist character of a seamless wall, with the rich natural appearance of stone.

Once Laguzzo is applied, maintenance of the wall covering is minimal. This is also facilitated by the fact that Laguzzo is highly alkaline. This means that bacteria cannot live on the material, preventing growth of fungi and algae without needing biocides. Laguzzo is therefore not only durable and healthy, but also easy to maintain. Laguzzo can be applied in six natural colours and is a beautiful enhancement for bathroom, bedroom and living room.
