Greeting visitors to the A1 office building by renowned architect Eva Jiřičná, in Rohan City, Czech Republic, is a spectacular installation which transforms the lobby into a work of art. In this prestigious architectural context, the “Bionic Wall” becomes a compelling contemporary sculpture, made entirely of HIMACS. The project demonstrates the extraordinary thermoformability of the solid surface material through fluid 3D forms with distinctive visual impact.
The building is distinguished by its compact form and a fully glazed façade giving the entire structure a sense of transparency. The “Bionic Wall” made of HIMACS Alpine White creates an unforgettable decorative feature in the reception area. Visible from the street, it also captures the attention of passers-by. Modelled after the Voronoi diagram, the sculpture mimics the geometric structure of cells, creating a harmony of organic forms — and an interplay between shadow and reflection as varying light conditions evolve throughout the day.
The project demonstrates the ability of HIMACS to create striking and original installations through the malleability of the material, allowing for sleek, seamless, sensuously shaped surfaces. Robust and non-porous, the material not only offers creative freedom, but also ensures strength and durability, together with superior hygienic, fire-retardant and stain-resistant properties. The “bionic wall” is complemented by an elegantly curved reception counter, also crafted from HIMACS.
