The floor in BMW World Munich was designed by Urquiola and produced by specialized design-tech flooring brand Aectual. The company uses robotic technology to 3D-print a bioplastic frame a few centimeters high. In addition to traditional geometric patterns, the 3D-printed frame enables free forms that appear to be hand-drawn, like Urquiola’s swirling designs. This frame was transported to where the floor was laid, where it was filled with a mixture of pieces of marble in a bio-based binder. The terrazzo expanded and was polished to create the finished floor.
