Polished Parisian Finish

A simple New Zealand-designed plastic-clip system — originally made for superyachts — held together a recent Parisian exhibition celebrating the 125th anniversary of Italian fashion brand Bvlgari. The fifteen 8.5m-high pyramids constructed at the Grand Palais museum in the French capital are meant to resemble cut diamonds. Using a system designed and manufactured by Muriwai-based Fastmount, the mirror-finish panels are positioned below the glass ceiling of the building to create light effects on the structures. “Although the Fastmount panel system was originally designed to meet the demanding requirements of superyachts, we are seeing demand for our system from luxury hotels, shop fit-outs and exciting concept projects around the world,” Fastmount director Ron Hanley said.
