OUTT / Formats and compositions

A surface begins
with a proportion.

A line draws the eye. A broad plane lets it rest. Between them, a language of proportions gives the material its rhythm and a place within the architecture.

The shape
of a surface.

From a narrow strip to an open field, scale changes how a surface is read. Seven format families offer different ways to work with direction, repetition and the space between elements.

Dimensions and thicknesses in centimetres. Outlines share a relative scale and show nominal dimensions. Spacer profiles are not shown.

01

Standard

42.5 × 12 cm

A rectangular module, open to continuity, direction and rhythm.

Thickness: 1.2 / 2.1 / 2.6 / 3.4 / 4.7 / 7.2 cm

02

Permeable

42.5 × 12 cm

The nominal footprint of Standard, with a specific configuration to be reviewed with the installation system.

Thickness: 4.7 / 7.2 cm

03

Planks

78.4 × 12.7 cm

An elongated proportion that draws the eye through a space.

Thickness: 1.3 / 2.6 / 4.7 cm

04

Strip

42.5 × 5.7 cm

A narrow band for measured intervals and alternating widths.

Thickness: 2.1 cm

05

Slim strip

42.5 × 2.7 cm

A finer line, repeated on its own or set within a wider rhythm.

Thickness: 2.1 cm

06

Large format

78.4 × 39.2 cm

A generous plane for regular fields and compositions with planks.

Thickness: 1.2 / 2.1 / 3.4 / 4.7 cm

07

With spacers

80 × 40 cm

Nominal dimensions of the configuration with spacers.

Thickness: 4.7 cm

Standard and Permeable share nominal dimensions, but their applications differ. Format, thickness and installation system should be considered together.

Small shifts.
Different rhythms.

A repeated line can settle into a quiet field. Shift it, turn it, change its pace, and the same element takes on another character. Twelve studies explore the possibilities within a simple geometry.

Graphic studies using nominal proportions, not approved installation layouts. Joint widths are not specified. The specific geometry of Permeable elements must be checked; suitability cannot be inferred from Standard.

The space
between matters.

A surface is more than the sum of its pieces. Shared lengths, changing widths and carefully considered joints bring the elements into relation. Thickness, substrate and intended use complete the technical choice.

01 / SHARED LENGTHS

Set a rhythm.

Standard and strips share a length of 42.5 cm. Widths of 12, 5.7 and 2.7 cm invite different sequences of broad and fine lines.

02 / FIELDS AND DIRECTIONS

Let the field open.

Large formats and planks share a length of 78.4 cm. Broad planes and elongated bands can be explored together, with their relationships resolved in the project.

03 / ELEMENTS AND JOINTS

Consider the interval.

In mixed compositions, dimensions, tolerances and joint widths work together to maintain alignment. The interval is part of the design.

Find the rhythm
of your space.

Bring us the space you have in mind. We can explore the material, format and finish together, then review the thickness, installation and samples that the project calls for.
