SHAPES Experience Centre by M+R
Earlier this year (2016), the Shapes Experience Centre opened in Nieuwegein; a presentation space where architects, designers and finishing companies can be inspired in the field of decorative sheet material, ceiling and wall coverings, floors and lighting. There is an extensive library with samples and collection books. Events and training courses are also organised there.

PRESENTATION ROOM
The Shapes Experience Center is an initiative of RET interieur, Astrimex, Bruijnzeel, Leoxx and Flos. In addition, products from Rockfon, Kronospan, Gyproc and Armstrong can be seen.
The Center is a concept and design by M+R interior architecture. We used the lotus flower and the chameleon as design inspiration; where the lotus flower stands as a metaphor for purity and beauty and the chameleon for the ability to adapt and diversity. The lotus flower is designed as 3 sculptural elements composed of decorative sheet material, these objects slowly rotate. The space is divided into so-called color 'slides', where each slide shows a color of the total spectrum with different material applications.
