Case Study — Hospitality

Wave
Lounge

A luxury lounge defined by a single flowing gesture — wave relief wall panels cast in Lumina PMAG™ and finished by hand to catch the room's light.

The Brief

Movement,
held still.

The lounge needed a surface that felt fluid and unhurried — a wall that suggested motion without restlessness. The design intent was a continuous wave: long, sweeping undulations that draw the eye along the room rather than fixing it to one point.

Restraint was essential. A single flowing form, rendered in real depth, was to do all the work — no applied ornament, no contrast colour, just the slow play of light across a sculpted surface.

The Material

Lumina
PMAG™

Lumina PMAG™ — our polymer-modified architectural gypsum — suits flowing relief especially well. Its mineral body holds the smooth, continuous curvature of a wave form without facets or steps, and its soft matte surface gives shadow a gentle gradient rather than a hard line.

Cast as a mineral surface, it stays stable across a long wall, accepts an artisan finish in any tone, and keeps each panel light enough for clean interior mounting and a seamless run.

The Process

installed.

  1. Design & Modelling

    The wave was built as a parametric 3D relief, with the curvature tuned so the undulations flow continuously across panel joints and resolve cleanly along the length of the wall.

  2. Moulding & Casting

    A master mould was produced from the digital model and replicated in silicone, then Lumina PMAG™ panels were cast under controlled conditions for a consistent, fault-free curved surface.

  3. Artisan Finish

    Each panel received a hand-applied artisan finish — an even, low-sheen tone that lets the wave read purely through the rise and fall of light and shadow.

The Result — A continuous wave relief that carries the length of the lounge, its undulations softening and sharpening as the light moves across the room.
