Chemetal’s latest expansion to its Transparency collection reframes what decorative panels can do in commercial interiors. These new laser-cut designs, four in total, offered in five metallic tones, treat aluminum not as a barrier, but as a quietly expressive architectural layer.

The panels are cut from thicker aluminum, so they stand on their own without a substrate. That detail matters. It allows screens to act as spatial dividers, ceiling elements, or partial enclosures without adding visual weight. Light moves through the patterns, softening edges and blurring boundaries in office floors, hospitality lounges, and amenity spaces.

Each new design shifts the tone. Formation reads as an abstracted map. Bassline moves with a linear pulse. Canopy scatters circles into an organic drift. Codebreaker tilts the rhythm diagonally. Together, they broaden the expressive range of decorative panels while keeping fabrication pragmatic and clean.

Color deepens the possibilities. Clear and black aluminum lean crisp and minimal. Brass, bronze, and dark bronze introduce warmth and contrast, especially when layered against concrete or soft textiles. The finishes feel familiar to Chemetal’s broader catalog, which makes them easy to integrate into existing palettes.

Designers who gravitate toward materiality-as-architecture will appreciate how Transparency echoes the same thoughtful restraint seen in It’s Got Metal in the Name, where metal carries both structure and story.

Transparency doesn’t divide space so much as recalibrate it. Chemetal gives pattern a job to do and it performs lightly, and well.
