Móz Designs as Laser Cut Metal Panel

Award-winning metal experts, Móz Designs, are excited to share their Wayfair Edens Plaza project, a full-scale renovation of the historic 164,000-square-foot Carson Pirie Scott building in Wilmette, Illinois. In collaboration with Gensler Los Angeles and J.T. Magen & Co., Móz crafted custom metal cladding that enhances the building’s exterior, embodying Wayfair's modern retail identity and creating a captivating draw for shoppers near and far.

Móz’s Laser Cut Metal Panels play a defining role in elevating this new flagship store. With clean geometric lines and the reflective finishes of the white and purple paneling, the laser cut design creates a dynamic visual experience, while the backlit feature offers a striking focal point that instantly draws attention to the storefront.

By blending metal and lighting, Móz enriches the exterior and reinforces Wayfair’s upscale brand image in its first large-format store, which showcases an extensive range of home goods and sets a new standard for the shopping experience. A total of 108 custom laser-cut panels with a geometric pattern were crafted from 1/4" aluminum and finished in White AAMA 2605 Powder Coat, forming the 70’ x 40’ backlit feature wall and giving the facade a sleek, modern appeal. Additionally, three sets of 33 custom-cut geometric panels finished in Purple Matte AAMA 2605 Powder Coat were stacked and installed at the entrance, creating a bold statement that celebrates Wayfair’s signature color palette at Edens Plaza.

Providing exceptional longevity over other cladding options, Móz collaborated closely with the design team to ensure the final product met both aesthetic and functional goals.
