Building on our previous newsletter's introduction, we're delving deeper into 'hïda's innovative silver CMF design. This distinctive product leverages micrometer-scale patterns, realized using UV-cured liquid materials on platforms such as PET sheets. With our unique "UV Optical Pattern" solution, the resultant silver displays a dynamic three-dimensional effect, shifting the pattern's highlights based on the viewer's perspective. This technology allows for tailored pattern designs and movements, and through advanced vacuum deposition techniques, even the subtlest of silver shades can be finely adjusted. |
