Nature at its best with karuun®

Style and values in harmony – as a nature tech material, karuun® pairs perfectly with PEKANA’s interior design.

As a manufacturer of natural remedies, PEKANA uses an advanced method with traditional roots to transform fresh medicinal plants into high-quality medicines.

What could be a better match for PEKANA’s interior design than an innovative natural material? Shelves finished with karuun® adorn the walls in the hallway and offices, and form the perfect counterpart to the karuun® stripe side-table. Another successful combination of nature and high-tech.

NIO EC7: featuring karuun®, naturally

NIO’s guiding motto translates to ‘Blue Sky Coming’. The premium electric vehicle manufacturer is set to launch a new model on path to a bright future: the NIO EC7. Not only is this vehicle both efficient and comfortable to drive, but it’s sustainable too. With highly efficient electric drive technology and one of the lowest drag coefficients in the world, this new electric SUV offers power and performance coupled with low energy consumption.

NIO is more committed to using low-in-CO2 materials in the production of its vehicles than almost any other automobile manufacturer; as with the ET7, karuun® features throughout the innovative interior design of the EC7. This reduces the carbon footprint by half compared to conventional aluminum cladding, without any concessions when it comes to exquisite design.

elobau: Operating armrest pilot project

Design and functionality at your fingertips with karuun®

Pilot project: Industrialised eco-design of an operating armrest

elobau stands for innovative, sustainable products and state-of-the art system solutions. A renewable, biodegradable raw material was needed for a pilot project whose objective was to develop a new type of operating armrest. The underlying question being asked here was “What if we ran out of plastic tomorrow?”

And the best answer? karuun®.

karuun® surfaces run the entire length of the operating armrest, housing the controls and protecting the electronics. The built-in stainless steel frame guarantees stability, while karuun® sees to the charming good looks – and a good feeling for people and the environment.

“Having both materials clearly on show makes for an independent, striking and new design. With its lightness and its lines, we have created a new type of operating armrest that will stand out from the status quo in a sustainable way.”
Max Kromer, elobau

The NIO HOUSE in Oslo
From interior to architecture

A prime example of sustainable design: NIO selects karuun® as a design feature in their showroom.

A living-space atmosphere with NIO exclusivity

The new NIO HOUSE in Oslo is a unique open-space concept where NIO’s users and community can relax, work and share moments. As the first automotive company to use karuun® in its car interiors, NIO has also chosen to use our bioeconomic material in the NIO House too. Good for the atmosphere – both in and around the NIO House.

NIO consistently incorporates the world-exclusive nature tech material: from its first concept car NIO EVE to the NIO ET7 series, on to the ES7 and the NIO HOUSE – a showroom and driver’s lounge in one – in all designs, you’ll find karuun®.

The new NIO SUV EL7
Autonomous driving with home comforts

karuun® adorns the interior of the first self-driving SUV – a smart choice for elegant relaxation.

Truly successful companies don’t follow a vision. They become reality. Consequently, under the direction of CEO William Li, electric vehicle pioneer NIO is once again setting a new and futuristic course. The NIO EL7 is the first SUV whose design is fully geared towards autonomous driving. If you mull that over, you’ll realise that a coherent design includes an interior that is not only smart but exceptionally elegant and homely too; a second living room that features modern and natural elements for an open feel while also being a safe place to retreat.

Here is yet another perfect use of karuun® – and as with the ET7, in the EL7 a total of 14 parts feature the nature tech material karuun®. This design choice replaces plastic while also creating an unmatched, home-like feeling in three exclusive interior themes: Pamir Brown, Edelweiss White and Onyx Black. For a home on the go.

Museum of the Future – a building made of the future

Like a window into the world of tomorrow – also in terms of architecture and building materials. The Museum of the Future in Dubai is definitely worth (time)travelling to.

The Museum of the Future is regarded as the global centre and testing ground for the future challenges and opportunities of mankind. In contrast to a traditional museum, the visions, concepts and innovations that aspire to a better world of tomorrow are presented here. An ideal home for the bio-economic future material karuun® – especially on level 4, where the “Heal Institute” is lined with around 600 square metres of the nature tech material; this chapter of the museum shines a light on the challenges faced by the sensitive ecosystems of tropical forests. And with karuun® adorning the walls, a solution is on show too!
