Up to 30 percent of commercial fit out materials go to landfill during refurbishments. Not because they break structurally.
But Because they look tired. Or the brand shifts. That’s expensive.
And it’s a carbon problem.
But @Kasuri in Silverdale is built different. It has beautiful Indian food. Warm service. And at the centre of the restaurant is a Cleanstone front bar.
That’s where most venues quietly fail. But not this one.
The front bar is made from 100% recycled plastic wrap. Waterproof.
Impact resistant. Refinishable instead of replaceable.
For designers and operators in hospo your surfaces are:
• Part of your content
• Part of your maintenance cost
• Part of your sustainability story
The real question isn’t “Will it photograph well?”
It’s “Will it still look good after 10 years of service?”
If you’re working on a hospitality or retail space, are you designing for the launch… or for the operator wiping it down every night? It's got to be both.
Flick me a message if you want to talk long life, low waste fit outs and visit cleanstone.criticaldesign.nz and request some samples! Would love to help.
