ST. PAUL, Minn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#3MDesign–As designers, architects and creative professionals arrive in Milan this
week, curious to explore the latest trends in design, 3M will inspire
them through “Wonder beyond Imagination” – a multisensory
experience featuring 3M DI-NOC architectural finishes, a sustainable
design solution to transform spaces and reimagine design possibilities.
The installation will take visitors on a wondrous journey, to experience
what’s possible through materials and finishes. They will discover how
to restyle with imagination, transform without limitations
and enhance with elegancy.

“As designers and architects, everything we create is built on the
availability of materials and how they behave,” said Eric Quint, vice
president and chief design officer at 3M. “This year we wanted to
highlight the freedom and flexibility in design when realized through
3M’s material sciences, the result is endless possibilities inspired by
curiosity.”

The palettes of materials, structures and colors that create flexibility
in interior designs are important to create inspirational atmospheres. 3M
DI-NOC architectural finishes gives greater freedom to transform
spaces with impact and is a thoughtful solution for a variety of
surfaces. 3M supports designers to create different moods or
atmospheres, defining a specific experience in any environment. The 3M

decorative films are easy to install and will follow the contours of
curved surfaces flawlessly. The new collection introduces matte finishes
with an impressive genuine look and feel, that are less vulnerable to
fingerprints.”

and the power it has to impact design. Curiosity is innate – driven with

meaningful.
