Postmodernism: Challenging Conventions

Postmodernism emerged in the 1970s as a reaction to the prescriptive nature of 20th-century Modernism. It’s characterised by an irreverent and eclectic mix of historical and contemporary styles designed to break the rules. Post-modern buildings aspire to look like nothing else and continue to influence architects and designers today.

Irreverence built in

Postmodern architecture is a unique mix that combines elements from various historical architectural movements. This innovative approach challenges conventional aesthetics and produces a playful and ironic blend of styles. The fusion of multiple design influences is a fundamental characteristic of Postmodernism.

Bright colours

Postmodernism thrives on attention. It exists to be seen. Bright, bold colours shock, inspire or spotlight the perfect design feature. It’s a movement you can’t ignore.

We offer an almost unlimited range of colours for many of our ceiling and acoustic wall solutions from popular colour systems such as RAL, NCS or StoColor, providing exceptional choice to create Postmodern designs.

Variety is the spice of life

Mixing materials, shapes, and colours enables Postmodernism to reference its influences while deconstructing ideas that make design inaccessible. The movement has led to some of the most talked about buildings in the world.

Let’s embrace the spirit of Postmodernism in projects that playfully inspire while challenging the conventions of today by doing more to enable a sustainable future.
