/ BUILDING DIALOGUE / JUNE 2017
1. Left Bank Art
One of the last items to be installed, artwork can provide a
virtual window in areas that do not have an actual window. It
can provide a sense of calm and serenity, or excitement and
drama. Left Bank Art is a resource that provides over 10,000
images in a variety of styles. The images can be ordered in
a finishes such as canvas giclee, glass framed, hand-paint-
ed or on plexiglass for outdoor usage. The finishes include
brush gel, glass coat, hand embellished and gild silver.

Furniture can be a large portion of a commercial project’s
FF&F budget; therefore, finding a durable, great looking yet
inexpensive product is important to stay within the budget
confines. Krug has a large selection of pieces for both health
care and general commercial situations. Its health care line
offers patient chairs, sleepers, recliners, gliders and bariatric
options. The commercial side has the Zola line, which pro-
vides opportunities for booth seating, privacy and collabora-
tion spaces, as well as serpentine style configurations to add
a fun contemporary look to any lobby space.

In fitness facilities, it is important to specify a flooring
product that reduces injuries caused by slips and falls.
Ecore has a product that does just that. Terrain RX is a
5-mil sheet good that is available in several contemporary
patterns and colors. Enhanced sound control is achieved
as well for footfall noise reduction, which is great in corri-
dors. A final benefit is the polish-free maintenance.

Adding drama to a building can be necessary for a focal
point or wayfinding guide. Often reconciling this with dura-
bility can be a challenge. Forms and Surfaces’ ViviSpectra
is a glass creation that takes a digital image of your choice
and applies it to large-scale glass wall panels for a striking,
dramatic effect. It can be used in conjunction with Form and
Surfaces’ VEKTR Digital Canvas to achieve a unique and cus-
tom wall product. For durability, its bonded metal product
can be used to complement the ViviSpectra paneling.

ATI Decorative Laminates offers MirroFlex, a product
manufactured in the U.S. It is a thermoplastic decorative
wall panel and ceiling tile option with many patterns and
finish combinations available. Upon selecting the pre-
ferred pattern, a finish can be specified. MirroFlex can
be easily and quickly installed with an adhesive method.
The patterns range from contemporary to traditional and
can be an exciting and economical way to provide a little
splash of fun to a space.
