The Smile

Designed by BIG-Bjarke Ingels Group

Project

Timbur worked closely with the design team from B.I.G to develop a custom wall panel system for the amenity spaces of the SMILE building in Harlem. Unlike typical wood slat wall systems our kerf panel solution was able to give the read of a slat wall while adapting to the curvature of the interior spaces and maintaining a thin ¾” profile.

Materials & Technique

Kerf cut matte pre-finished ¾” Birch plywood
