Studio 1090: new design freedom in decorative stainless steel

Studio 1090 is Rimex Metals’ latest laser etching technology, enabling decorative patterns, logos, and custom designs to be applied directly onto stainless steel with exceptional precision. This non-contact process creates permanent surface designs without the need for additional coatings, while preserving the durability, wear resistance, and premium appearance of stainless steel.

What is Studio 1090?

Studio 1090 is an advanced laser etching technology developed by Rimex Metals as part of its ongoing investment in innovative surface finishing solutions. The name refers to the wavelength of the laser technology used in the process.

Using a highly precise laser beam, the surface layer of the stainless steel is selectively modified or removed to create permanent designs with outstanding accuracy, repeatability, and durability. As a non-contact process, the risk of mechanical damage is minimized, and no additional coatings or decorative layers are required.

The digital production process allows design modifications to be implemented quickly and enables the efficient creation of complex patterns, fine details, and project-specific designs. This makes Studio 1090 suitable for both one-off bespoke projects and small production runs.

Unlimited design possibilities

Studio 1090 allows architects and designers to integrate custom patterns, artwork, branding, logos, and graphic elements directly into the metal surface. The technology offers a high degree of creative freedom, making it possible to produce anything from subtle textures to complex geometric designs with exceptional precision. At the same time, all the inherent benefits of stainless steel are retained, including its durability, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Studio 1090 can be applied to both standard and coloured stainless steel and can be combined with various finishes from the Rimex range, including:

  • ColourTex range
  • T22 range
  • Super Mirror
  • Satin finishes
  • Granex
  • Linen
  • Water Rhythm

By combining colour, texture, reflectivity, and laser etching, Studio 1090 creates unique surfaces that give every project a distinctive visual identity.

Applications in architecture

The technology is suitable for both decorative and functional applications, including:

  • Architectural cladding
  • Elevator interiors
  • Custom-made panels
  • Architectural feature elements
  • Branding, logos, and signage
  • Luxury interiors
  • Bespoke furniture
  • Design objects and installations

Whether it is a striking façade, an exclusive hotel interior, a distinctive retail environment, or an artistic architectural installation, Studio 1090 provides a durable and premium solution where design freedom and material innovation come together.
