CECOCECO Expands ArtMorph Line with Mini and Edge Variants, Debuting at NeoCon 2025

SBID — Thu, 22 May 2025 09:30:44 +0000

CECOCECO, a pioneer in lighting and display industry, announces the launch of ArtMorph Mini and ArtMorph Edge, two groundbreaking additions to its ArtMorph product line. These new solutions offer enhanced flexibility, refined aesthetics, and seamless integration, setting a new standard in architectural design. Both innovations will be unveiled at NeoCon 2025, the premier event for commercial interior design.

ArtMorph Mini: Small Scale, Infinite Possibilities

Designed for versatility, ArtMorph Mini enhances the adaptability of the ArtMorph series with a compact form. Key features include:
– Quarter-Size Form Factor (250x250mm)
Designed to complement standard ArtMorph panels by filling spatial gaps and adapting to tighter or irregular layouts, enhancing overall spatial cohesion.
– Independent Power System
Allows for creative, non-rectangular compositions when combined with standard ArtMorph, supporting freeform layouts beyond the constraints of conventional grids.
– High Surface Compatibility
Shares the same thickness and material options as standard ArtMorph panels, ensuring seamless visual integration or enabling contrast for intentional design highlights.
– Creative Accent Potential
Use Mini to introduce playful, intricate patterns or distinctive visual zones within a unified installation—perfect for drawing attention or enhancing spatial rhythm.

CECOCECO

ArtMorph Edge: Flowing Elegance in Every Corner

Corners should never disrupt a design narrative. ArtMorph Edge ensures smooth transitions across surfaces with the following features:
– Patented Curved-Edge Design
Engineered to eliminate hard panel breaks across 90° transitions, enabling immersive content flow around corners, columns, and wall junctions.
– Effortless Plug-and-Play Setup
Installs in just five minutes by drawing power and control directly from adjacent ArtMorph units—streamlining installation without extra cabling.
– Surface and Thickness Match
Precisely aligned in material finish and depth with standard ArtMorph and Mini, maintaining visual harmony across complex architectural forms.
– Transforms Architectural Challenges
Ideal for elevating underutilised spatial elements—like sterile corners or curved recesses—into elegant brand touchpoints or dynamic content zones.

CECOCECO

The introduction of ArtMorph Mini and Edge marks a pivotal evolution of the ArtMorph ecosystem—completing the system with enhanced flexibility for complex spatial conditions. Both variants significantly expand what ArtMorph can achieve: filling in where standard panels can’t reach, leveraging underutilised spatial elements to enable greater creative expression, and transforming sharp corners into fluid visual transitions.

“ArtMorph Mini and Edge empower creators to think beyond traditional boundaries.” said Jason Lu, Founder of CECOCECO. “Whether it’s a compact niche or a challenging corner, every inch of a space can now contribute to a unified, captivating story. This is the future of experiential design.”

Debuting at NeoCon 2025

CECOCECO will showcase ArtMorph Mini and ArtMorph Edge at NeoCon 2025, held at The Mart in Chicago from June 9-11, 2025. This marks the first time CECOCECO presents the full ArtMorph ecosystem—including standard panels, Mini, and Edge—in one integrated showcase. As one of the most influential events in the commercial design industry, NeoCon provides the perfect stage for unveiling these innovations. Visitors to CECOCECO’s exhibit will experience firsthand how ArtMorph’s latest advancements enhance spatial aesthetics and immersive storytelling.

SBID — Tue, 06 May 2025 09:30:50 +0000

House of Rohl is delighted to once again be part of one of the most anticipated events on the international design calendar, WOW!house at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour from 3 June – 3 July. For its fourth consecutive installation, House of Rohl has collaborated with global, luxury interior and architectural design firm, 1508 London to create a distinctive and emotive Primary Bathroom that explores three guiding design principles – Reflection, Ritual and Reverie.

Built within the Design Avenue, WOW!house is a one-of-a-kind showhouse stretching 600 sqm2 with 22 full-size rooms and outdoor spaces to be explored – each uniquely designed by world-class interior designers, working in collaboration with globally recognised design brands and incredible suppliers.

Perrin & Rowe

“WOW!house is now firmly established as one of the highlights of London’s design calendar, attracting global interest. House of Rohl is extremely proud to have participated every year since its inception, presenting exciting and highly original bathroom spaces in partnership with acclaimed design practices. 1508 London were top of the list of practices we most wanted to work with, and so we are thrilled that they have taken the project on for 2025. We immediately fell in love with their concept, and can’t wait to unveil the completed bathroom, with our award-winning Seros bath as the centrepiece, in June.” Nigel Palmer, Head of Communications Marketing for House of Rohl

Perrin & Rowe

Reflection

Nestled like a hidden gem within the bustle of everyday life, the Principal Bathroom has been designed to be an oasis of serenity, where the hum of the outside world fades into a whisper. A place to reflect, refocus and unwind.

Ritual

Capturing the ancient rituals of bathing, showering and cleansing. The Principal Bathroom reveals itself and its more intimate, mysterious atmospheres as day turns to night. Light and shadow play across the room, across surfaces through watery reflections and metallic accents.

Reverie

Recalling cultural and historical stories, which bring meaning to the experience. Creating a feeling of being a traveller of the world, discovering another way of seeing the world. Inspired by traditional hammams, tactile materials such as plaster walls, intriguing floor pattern and artisanal furniture selections create a unique character.

Perrin & Rowe

1508’s inspiration for House of Rohl’s Primary Bathroom stems from its global perspective on design, focusing on the themes of ritual and wellbeing with the aim to create a space that fosters exploration and personal rejuvenation, encouraging a mindful engagement with one’s surroundings. The thoughtful curation of light and shadow, combined with a tactile material palette, evokes a sense of intimacy and discovery. The layering of subtle and bold design elements adds depth and intrigue, creating a continuously unfolding experience for visitors, all of which celebrate the rituals of a bathroom.

Key products from House of Rohl’s portfolio include the sculptural Victoria + Albert Seros freestanding bath developed with renowned British sculptor, Sophie-Elizabeth Thompson, which embody the energy and movement of water. Brassware from Perrin & Rowe’s Langbourne collection have also been specified. The strategic placement of brassware and carefully curated materials will create an interplay of light, reflection, and texture, fostering a unique and memorable experience.

Perrin & Rowe

“We’ve worked with House of Rohl on a number of successful projects, having found that we share the same essential values: attention to detail, exceptional craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for storytelling.” Ailsa Connery, Regional Director and Design Principal for Europe at 1508 London.

The design will also incorporate key pieces and bespoke elements from Artisans of Devizes, Bert Frank, Clayworks, Tom Faulkner, Charles Burnand, Porta Romana, Anka Bespoke, Atelier Alain Ellouz, Atelier 001, Novacastrin, Coral Stephens, Christy and Britannicus Stone. Commissioned artworks by Carl Koch of Paynes Grey have also been specified crafted from thousands of individually rolled, cut, dipped, and assembled ceramic tiles.

Perrin & Rowe

With an impressive international portfolio, 1508 London has worked on Carlton Tower Jumeirah, Mandarin Oriental Residences Beverly Hills, The OWO Residences with Raffles, Chelsea Barracks, One Grosvenor Square, and Park Hyatt Residences. Private residential projects throughout London include The OWO, Park Modern, Nine Elms, Chelsea Barracks and Whiteley. Current projects include Cipriani Residences Miami, Baccarat Hotel and Residences in the Maldives and Dubai, Four Seasons Mauritius, Mr. C Residences Dubai along with a number of private residential projects worldwide.

“It feels serendipitous to be part of WOW!house 2025, as it coincides with our 15th anniversary. This event is a fantastic platform to stand alongside other industry leaders, as well as world renowned suppliers, showcasing our design philosophy and celebrating the art of craftsmanship and design.

CECOCECO’s booth, VG8, invites visitors on a sensory journey under the theme “Revival: Seasons Embrace Terrain Whispers.” This immersive concept harmonises the beauty of the four seasons with terrain-inspired artistry, offering a glimpse into the future of workspace aesthetics.

The ArtMorph Experience

Visitors to CECOCECO’s booth will encounter two stunning ArtMorph walls, each showcasing a distinct design philosophy. The first wall, a wood-textured masterpiece with contour lines, exudes sophistication while reflecting the calming essence of nature. In contrast, the second wall celebrates the cycle of seasons, dividing its surface into four sections, each representing a unique seasonal tableau.

What makes these installations extraordinary is their interactive nature. Touch-responsive technology brings the four-season wall to life, with dynamic light effects that align with the chosen season. Similarly, the wood-textured wall reveals mesmerising transitions of light, creating a harmonious blend of design and technology. Together, these elements promise to captivate attendees, demonstrating how workspace design can activate the senses and inspire creativity.

Collaboration with Industry Visionaries

CECOCECO is also proud to collaborate with leading design firms Gensler and Sheppard Robson to enhance the show’s sensory appeal. At the Design Talks lounge, Gensler has incorporated CECOCECO’s ArtMorph into a breathtaking feature wall under the theme “Awaken.” This wall, adorned with a cloud and blue sky design, is enhanced by light effects simulating sunrise and sunset, adding depth to discussions on modern workspace evolution.

Meanwhile, Sheppard Robson has reimagined the show’s entrance with ArtMorph Voyager, crafting a multi-sensory gateway that blends colors, shapes, and textures to ignite visitors’ imaginations from the moment they arrive.

Real-World Applications of ArtMorph

CECOCECO’s innovative ArtMorph technology has been successfully implemented in various real-world settings, exemplifying its versatility and impact. A notable example is the G&D Executive Briefing Center Project in Houston, Texas. In this project, CECOCECO collaborated with G&D to install an ArtMorph wall in the lobby, enhancing the visual appeal and creating a memorable first impression for visitors. The design was inspired by Texas Limestone, with a 3D texture applied to the wall’s faceplate, mirroring the authentic look and feel of stone. This installation not only boosts the visual appeal but also creates a dynamic interplay between the digital content and the physical space, embodying both companies’ commitment to quality and seamlessly blending aesthetics with functionality.

These real-world applications showcase the transformative potential of ArtMorph in reimagining spaces to inspire and delight.
