Design
Color, Material, Finish
Our design team works with our customers to determine how surfaces look, how they feel, how light changes them – and above all, what emotions and associations they trigger in the viewer. The goal: to make design an experience for all the senses. Especially in prestigious areas or when it comes to branding and public image, the coating must not only function – it must also have an impact. For over 20 years, Mankiewicz has had a design department that helps you strike exactly the right note.
International with every Trend
Different countries, different trends: “Trendy” and “innovative” are terms that can mean different things in different places. Our global team consists of designers with different backgrounds. This means we are familiar not only with global trends, but also with country- and industry-specific ones.
Trends are always in transition, constantly evolving. In order to identify the most relevant and promising ones and translate them into coatings, our design team travels around the world to trade fairs and major cities – seeking inspiration from completely different fields such as architecture and fashion.
Recognising Design Trends – Translating Impulses – Creating Innovation
Our CMF team always has its finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist. Inspiration from architecture, product design, fashion and materials research flows directly into our work – and is translated into brand-typical surfaces that can be implemented using coating technology.
In close collaboration with customers, designers and industry experts, we create solutions that are not only technically impressive, but also set new standards in design. The big advantage: design expertise and laboratory expertise combined under one roof – for consultation on an equal footing and fast, targeted implementation in market-ready products.
Designing Surfaces, Enhancing Brands
Our CMF Design Team supports customers from the initial idea to the finished surface. Together, we develop colour concepts, material impressions and functional effects that match both the product and the brand identity.
With in-depth expertise in design, technology and practical application, we translate these requirements directly into coating solutions – precisely tailored to function, manufacturing process and industry standards. This is how a design becomes a brand-defining, industrially feasible result.
