Most of us have tried to be in a situation, where we had to compromise on either design or functionality. The same was the deal with the new Viking Glory from Viking Line, however, we found a good solution without compromises.
At DAMPA we work with a Forms-follows-Function philosophy, and we always work to solve the unsolvable in beautiful and efficient ways. But most of us have been in a situation, where we needed to make a compromise. And we all know that turning to these compromises is rarely the right answer.
Beautiful design without any compromises to aesthetics or functionality
The architects of the new Viking Glory have designed a magnificent passenger ship, where the keywords are Nordic maritime, timeless thinking, and down-to-earth with a touch of luxury.
This includes a stunning ceiling design with triangles in two different colours.
Looking amazing on paper, but a real challenge for the technicians, due to the triangular design being triangular ceiling tiles. About this Michael Nykjær, CEO at DAMPA, tells:
We worked on different solutions to make these tiles in a simple and efficient way for all involved, however, all our solutions ended up with a very high sqm price or a challenging and time-consuming mounting system. But finally, it hit us – the perfect solution in one of our existing offers: Digital print.
With digital print, we could make our standard square DAMPA® Clip-In Tiles look like triangles in the design from the architects, and at the same time retain our simple, fast and easy DAMPA® Clip-In mounting system. A solution which favoured the demands of both the technicians and the architects.
We are very proud to have delivered approx. 1200 sqm of DAMPA® Clip-In Tiles with digital print to Viking Glory, which can be found in the info area, the café and bar Torget, and the conference lobby.
