Kawneer launches its Design Studio: an immersive digital tool to explore the color palettes of aluminum joinery

An intuitive tool to stimulate architectural creativity

With its Design Studio, France enriches its digital offering and puts personalization at the heart of the user experience.
Accessible directly from the brand's website, this immersive platform allows you to discover, compare and simulate colors aluminium joinery and facades before any construction or renovation project.

Designed to support all stages of the design process, the Design Studio is aimed at a wide audience:

• architects and specifiers , seeking inspiration and visual consistency,

• construction companies wishing to present their choices to their clients

• individuals wishing to visualize the appearance of their future facade or joinery.

"With the Design Studio, we place color at the center of the creative process," explains the Kawneer marketing team.
"This tool offers complete freedom of exploration and allows everyone to imagine their project down to the smallest detail."

Three collections of finishes for an infinite number of atmospheres

Kawneer offers three worlds of colors and textures in its Design Studio , reflecting the brand's expertise in aluminum design and manufacturing:

• Arboral : wood-look finishes (oak, pine, fir, cherry, etc.) that faithfully reproduce natural wood species. They are particularly suitable for projects combining modernity and authenticity.

• Pictorial : a refined palette with sandy hues, ideal for contemporary architecture and elegant facades.

• Textured : grainy surfaces that capture light and create unique visual effects depending on the viewing angle.

These finishes, resulting from high-quality industrial processes, reflect Kawneer's expertise in mastering surface treatments and aluminum lacquering , guaranteeing exceptional durability.

Test the shades on Kawneer's flagship products

The Design Studio allows you to visualize in real time how colors will look on a selection of iconic products :

• AA100 facade ,

• Kaptiv window ,

• Kaptiv sliding door ,

• K190 welded door ,

• Kalumen sunshade ,

• Kanisse section ,

• Kajole Veranda.

Each product can be displayed in single color (uniform tint) or in two colors , allowing differentiation between interior and exterior colors — a very popular option in contemporary architectural design.

A 3D immersion in an interactive building

For an even more realistic experience, Kawneer has integrated its products into a interactive 3D model of a commercial building.
The user can move around freely, from the ground floor to the terrace, in order to observe the joinery in a real situation.
Each facade, frame or bay window becomes a simulation support on which it is possible to apply the color of your choice.

This dynamic visualization allows for immediate evaluation of:

• the consistency of colors according to light exposure,

• the enhancement of materials ,

• and the overall aesthetic impact of the project.

“The Design Studio is a true digital laboratory of color,” commented Kawneer’s product management.
"It offers a complete immersion in the world of aluminum finishes, allowing users to test the most daring combinations before the production phase."

From simulation to realization

Once the shades have been selected, users can:

• save their favorite colors ,

• add them to a virtual shopping cart ,

• then order the corresponding physical color charts.

This bridge between the digital and the real facilitates decision-making and communication between designers, project owners and end customers.
It is in line with Kawneer's desire to simplify custom design andaccelerate the study phase carpentry projects.

An innovation that fosters personalization

With this new tool, Kawneer confirms its position as pioneer of connected aluminium joinery.
Le Design Studio reflects the brand's ambition: to make design accessible to all, while supporting the creativity of building professionals.

"Our goal is clear: to support architects and designers in their aesthetic choices, with high-performance and intuitive digital tools."
