Pepe Jeans has
included Dekton® as
part of the new image
of three of its stores:
Barcelona, Paris and
Rotterdam
The project by the architecture studio
Autoban, required finding a material that
was produced in large pieces to be able
to make this pattern of triangles, and that
could in turn, be cut into the described
pieces without breaking. It had to be a
material in a solid, uniform colour with a
natural look and slate finish, and which
could also be made in two lighter coloured,
but equally elegant shades with the same
finish. Dekton® allowed this idea to be
further developed thanks to its mechanical
and aesthetic properties, making it the
perfect choice for the project.
essential properties for its use for exterior
façades with these characteristics.
The fact that it is easy to assemble –
thanks to the precision of the material that
incorporates a structure for its support –
is also important. There is a very good
union between the CAT1 Wandegar
system, used for the support, and the
Dekton® slabs.
It was necessary to use a colour with
a Solar Reflectance Index of SRI> 78, and
the colour therefore had to be very light
in order to avoid a “heat island” effect.
Inspired by Roman travertine, Dekton®, in
the colour Danae, with its creamy colour
and matte finish suggesting a classic
12
warmth, was perfectly suited to the
building’s technical requirements.
Baku Airport (Azerbaijan)
Dekton® was the chosen material for
exterior flooring of the Azerbaijan’s Baku
airport. In total 4,300m 2 of the ultra
compact surface, elaborated in equilateral
triangles of 1.5m each side and in three
different tones of the Dekton Sirius colour.
The most decorative aspect of the project
was with regard to its production – using
a single material – of equilateral triangles
measuring 1.5m on each side, and in three
different colours, which when combined
achieve a 3D effect of raised cubes.
Pepe Jeans Stores (Barcelona,
Paris and Rotterdam)
Pepe Jeans has included Dekton® as part
of the new image of three of its stores:
Barcelona, Paris and Rotterdam. The
architecture studio “Househamhenderson
Architects” chose Dekton’s colour Strato
for the flooring of the three commercial
premises, aiming to create an elegant
and industrial floor, which would perfectly
combine with the environment giving it a
strong personality and character. Strato
colour is sourced from concrete, offering
an urban feeling.
Aesthetics have to be combined with
excellent technical properties which
guarantee flawless look of t he material
over the course of time. Properties like
high resistance to abrasion, stains or
scratches and its low maintenance make
of Dekton® a perfect product for a retail
fashion store.
192m 2 of Dekton® were applied in
Bacelona Pepe Jeans store, 124m2 in Paris’
store and 252m2 in Rotterdam’s location.
