With over 50 years of experience in solid surfaces and design, the experts tell us more about how Scribble Stone Inspire Surfaces create inspirational domestic and public realm schemes. Scribble Stone Inspire Surfaces - Picasso Project Production Inspire Surface is our new in-house production that allows us to specialise in bespoke solid surface projects. Collaborating with artists, designers, and architects we help create art installations, exhibitions, interiors and public spaces. Inspire starts with an idea and develops this into a concept and design which can be manufactured and installed with the highest quality in almost every environment. Scribble Stone Inspire Surfaces - Picasso Project Sustainability Porcelain is considered one of the most durable materials on the market, Porcelain manufacturers are prioritising the environment more than ever before due to government regulations. The main ingredients in porcelain are clay, common rocks like feldspar or quartz, and water. Porcelain will last at least as long as the structure of the building – It’s almost totally inert and does not produce any fumes or toxins even in the event of a fire. Its versatility for both interior and exterior projects has ensured this material has remained the front-runner within the industry for artists, interior designers and architects. Scribble Stone Inspire Surfaces - Picasso Project Scribble Stone Inspire Surfaces - Picasso Project Products/Materials Working with a variety of large-format sintered stone slabs supplied by X-tone Surfaces, we created our take on these classic Picasso paintings. As many as 8 different colours of 6mm and 12mm slabs were used in each portrait as well as 3mm brass sheet. Processes/Design Our range of product knowledge has given us the ability to manipulate raw materials into unique art projects using state-of-the-art machinery. Using our in-house water-jet machine, we cut out each line and shape from 6mm thick slabs to match the original paint colour as closely as we could with as much movement as possible and inlaid the complex shapes into the “canvas” Taj Mahal porcelain to create the classic portraits. The large ornate frames were cut and shaped on the water-jet machinery from 13 mm thick Liem Dark slab to border and spotlight the artwork, to give them the classic art gallery look and feel. The gallery space was created by cladding a timber frame in large format 6mm thick Glem White porcelain slabs in which we could display our take on the iconic paintings.
