Younique® facilitates daily preschool activities

11/13/2017 13:30

At Voryitalli preschool in Pori Finland Younique® by Formica Group was used to print cartoon animal figures designed for corridor doors.

Each nursery group has a named animal mask and special color that helps the children identify their department in the large building that accommodates 130 children. The mascots also show the function of the rooms such as for play meals toilets or dressing.

'Our goal was that the children would feel safe from day one and to help them navigate the building' explains city architect Pentti Klemetti. Of course the doors also needed to withstand the wear of daily use and be fire-rated and easy to clean.

The Younique® service made it possible to integrate art into the design of the building and the best part is that the children have made the building to their own.

 

'The mascots have filled their purpose and guide the children where they are going. The children love them and enjoy themselves in their departments' says Tuija Anoschkin preschool of the preschool.

Younique® is a Formica Group service that enables the creation of its own design on the surface of the high pressure laminate.

The printed image is incorporated into the laminate structure for greater resistance to damage and facilitates handling of the final product.

Younique is offered for single-sided HPL or double-sided compact laminate and is a perfect solution for school logo types photographs creative designs and various signs to create individuality for facades doors classrooms and all sorts of public spaces.
