A flexible, customizable, and durable product The MetaMetal collection is ideal for exterior metal cladding, acoustical ceilings, interior wall paneling, millwork, soffits, column covers, canopies, and more. Transcending material lines, Metametal offers eight unique surfaces that reference important archetypes while also emphasizing the poetic nature of metals.

A highly stylized reinterpretation of materials, the series offers a new aesthetic of metal with finishes such as Bungalow, Dune, Bohemian, Opaline, Southside, Spring, Float, and Patria. Available in panel systems or as flat sheets, MetaMetal’s single-skin aluminum composition is fully customizable in terms of design, pattern, color, gloss, texture, and scale. The collection’s durable, crack-resistant surfaces are easy to maintain, and Pure + FreeForm’s FEVE Lumiflon resin finishes offer unparalleled resistance against UV degradation, corrosion, chemical exposure, color fading, chalking, and diminished gloss.

Backed by a 20-year warranty, MetaMetal provides up to a 60-year life cycle. Sustainability is at the core. In addition to MetaMetal’s longevity, Pure + FreeForm’s use of minimally processed aluminum and organic pigments and resins makes it a 100% recyclable collection. Derived from a minimum of 20% post-consumer recycled content, MetaMetal is VOC-free, Red List-free, HPD compliant, and LEED credit qualified.

The collection’s single skin composition, organic, toxin-free coatings, and durability align with Pure + FreeForm’s commitment to designing products that respect the concept of a shared sustainable future. “In striving to move beyond mere appearance or convention, design must contribute value and substance to a sustainable future,” explains Will Pilkington, President of Pure + FreeForm. “In making use of methods and materials that are ecologically produced, and sustainable over the long term, we enable our partners to design and inhabit structures that are not just relevant, but built to endure.”
