85 Construction & Engineering Awards 2020 BUILD Most Innovative Partition Wall System 2020: Flat Move stablished in 1964, ARTIS Arquitectura Interior began as a specialist enterprise in the design and installation of partitions for office spaces, corporate headquarters and business and contract centres. In 2005, the firm decided to implement their industry knowledge by specialising even further to answer the new requisites of the modular partitions market. Flat by Artis was therefore born following ARTIS’ commencement of developing new FLAT modular partition systems. The new and evolved company dealt with the manufacture and commercialisation of these partitions, enabling distributions to be customised according to the specifications of every individual project. Creating partition walls of glass, double glass, double blind panels, cost partitions and swing and sliding doors, the FLAT systems allow flexible formation of functional spaces, working in harmony with the aesthetics and technicalities of the existing space. Artis is always exploring new materials and avenues for technological innovation and flexibility. The firm also prioritises aesthetics and environmental wellbeing in their quest to evolve and, most importantly, carries out every action or development with customer requirements in mind. Therefore, for Artis, communication is second to none when embarking on each project. Listening to clients and their needs as well as collaborators equips Artis with the tools to experiment and create new solutions, not only pushing the boundaries of their own insights and knowledge but also ensuring each project is perfectly fitted to the specifications set forth by the client. Each business is just as distinct as a client, requiring unique treatments and specific conceptual and ornamental characteristics to be implemented so that the FLAT systems can be seamlessly integrated into the existing ambiance of the space. This would be impossible without open, thorough conversation with clients. In early 2020, Artis’ innovation and capacity in redefining social environments reached new heights in a project in collaboration with SPACE IT, that required the installation of the Flat SET partition system in the illustrious new offices of TRAX Retail Tech, the prestigious multinational company. The offices are situated on the twenty-sixth floor of the Tel Aviv- based Toha Tower building, designed by world-renowned architect, Ron Arad, and for Artis, it was an honour to work on a project with such impact. A combination of profile covers, single and double glass, solid panels in a variety of finishes and whiteboard panels, the Flat SET installation culminated in a ‘Mondrian-style’ composition and was the result of the cohesion of a design by Gindi Studio and Artis’ 100% standard Flat SET partition. With the outbreak of Covid-19 seeing more people working away from the office and hotels, retailers, restaurants and so many more having closed their doors, business has of course changed for Artis. The shift in demands has provided brandnew opportunities for innovation, which Artis has eagerly seized upon. Flat MOVE, their latest creation and recipient of this year’s Most Innovative Partition Wall System award, is unlike anything else in the market, having been designed to adapt to the new, varied needs of every client and sector. The freestanding divider is easily moveable and fully configurable, with many additions and options that allow the Flat MOVE to be adjusted to the function and conditions of its situation. In order to maintain consistency in aesthetics and optimised costs, the Flat MOVE has the same profiles, materials and finishing of the well-established Flat SET partition, acting as visual representation of Artis’ capacity for growing and innovating from their strong foundations. Artis is delighted to see their newest product taking off, beginning with accolades such as this award and continuing in its expanding global reach. With some international projects in the USA, Ghana and India in the works, it is clear that Artis are well on their way to achieving their ambition in seeing Flat MOVE gain international success.
