Metropol Palais, Nightclub and Restaurant / Stockholm
Architect: DAP
Metal Mesh: Chainex 07
Material: Stainless Steel 316L
For the opening of Metropol Palais, a night club and restaurant in central Stockholm we got the special mission to create a ceiling with metal mesh Chainex 07, a very flexible metal mesh made of single welded rings in stainless steel. The ceiling has a great uniqueness as every part of the ceiling, about 1 sqm, is specially made for the purpose and mounted individually similar to bubbles, being illuminated with different colors. The reason for this construction is to cover the ventilation and other pipes, sprinklers and lighting in the ceiling.
Materials used
Metal mesh RM.07 (formerly Chainex 07) is a mesh composed of fully welded rings. Each ring is connected to four rings. The specific welding technique makes it very strong and resistant to deformation. The size of the metal mesh RM.07 rings makes it slightly more elastic than ring fabric SL with the smaller ring. The panels are produced in the standard size of 500 x 500 mm and can be easily joined together to form larger installations. Special dimensions are offered on request. The metal curtains are preferably ordered about 2-3 cm longer as they are often finished resting on the floor. The construction of the metal mesh means that it can fall somewhat unevenly in height.
The mesh can also be enameled in different colors such as silver, gunmetal, bronze, gold, light gold, black, white or plated in custom colors. The metal mesh is suitable for interior decoration such as room dividers, metal curtains, products, etc.
It is fire and UV resistant, stable against moisture and mold, and requires minimal maintenance.
