Product • By Nordisk Profil GmbHNapsu

Napsu

Napsu is a flexible, open facade system built from vertical or horizontal aluminium slats (lamellae) mounted on an aluminium substructure. Its modular design lets you configure slat lengths and spacings freely, and install them horizontally, vertically, or as ceiling and roof cladding — so the facade adapts to the building, not the other way around. Mounted entirely without visible screws, Napsu delivers a sharp, seamless and harmonious appearance, while integrated thermal movement lets each component expand and contract independently, preventing internal stress or structural damage. As an open system, Napsu is ideal for both full and partial cladding and combines easily with perforated panels, expanded metal, trapezoidal sheet, sol... More

Majesty Golf Flagship Store

Tucked discreetly in Hanoi, MAJESTY Golf Flagship store makes a quiet yet unforgettable first impression. Positioned along a tree-lined boulevard dappled in shade, the building's bold black façade immediately draws the eye.

It is a reserved, almost mysterious prelude to what lies within. Crossing the threshold, visitors are immersed in a world of deep, contemplative tones.
