Planium deluxe

Many of the projects that Planium has reserved for itself in recent years belong to a luxury or deluxe range. Scenic contexts in suggestive cities, historically relevant, rich in their own scenography that in themselves are real film sets, places that have marked history in an epochal way, often with creativity.

In this sense, catering is one of the contexts of greatest interest for the brand, for flooring and coverings, not only on walls but also on ceilings.

The Marsan restaurant on the Rive Gauche in Paris - the most famous and frequented by intellectuals, artists and writers of the twentieth century - fully represents this type of project: Planium covers the floor with 600x600 mm slabs with a continuous surface that does not allow any joints to be seen. The covered material is stainless steel, one of the most classic, suitable by its nature and colour for contexts of a distinct, cold, refined elegance. The installation system used is PL01-one click.

Likewise, Ducasse’s Parisian restaurant – renamed Ducasse sur Seine – has points in common with this one for the exclusivity linked to the Ville Lumière. Here, however, the project is even more ambitious and complex, and we are on the Seine. Inaugurated in September 2018, this restaurant is literally set in a boat designed by naval architect Gerard Ronzatti. Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman, who have often worked with Planium, are instead the couturier designers who conceived the interiors of which Planium is the protagonist in the realization. The anodized aluminum ceiling thematically recalls the rippling waves of the Seine: a silvery domain with golden inlets to break up the monochrome. More than 3000 metal sheets make up this “maritime sky”.

Moving to another side, an example of a luxury project in the center of Milan is for Planium the one regarding the large cladding of Moscova 33, a 2020 project for offices intended for retail.

The impressive size – 2,000 m²! - of Calamine steel cladding leaves its mark. This dark material, apparently black from a distance but actually aviation blue and anthracite gray with even lighter streaks of light blue and magenta, tends to give the interiors a cool chromatic touch, the most appreciated by architects and interior designers in recent years.

Luxury is a name that also marries to brand like Porsche, which in the automotive world has been one of the leading companies representing engines for several decades, both in the sports and non-sports sectors. Sistemamen is the installation system that comes to the aid of Planium to cover the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, the German hometown of the car brand. The material used is embossed steel, particularly distinct from the others because it is historiated and has an unmistakable friction and tactile dimension. There is also a particular in the flooring of this system that excites lovers of details: the presence of screws along the figure and division points of the tiles, to give an industrial look.
