INTERIOR DESIGN & TECHNOLOGY In the field of interior design, DORMERO deliberately backs modern hardware – hardware that allows the rooms to be given an appearance that can be changed flexibly at any time as well as minimising the use of further resources:

• Use of digital LED coloured lighting systems with energy-saving lamps, which allow flexible alteration of the wall and ceiling design in seconds, instead of a physically applied colour design on ceilings and walls, which quickly becomes dated and is subject to changing fashion trends
• Modern digital signage systems, which can be recorded in an individual and fashionable way, instead of mass editions of signs, leaflets and posters
• Use of energy-saving bulbs
• Predominant use of energy-saving LED technology in the area of external advertising systems

• Multimedia systems that can be recorded with constantly new, updated content instead of short-lived stand displays and decorations.
• Conservation of forests through the use of durable coatings and long-lasting, heavy-duty laminates (high-pressure laminates) in interior and furniture design instead of sensitive real wood veneers.
• Floorings in durable, hardwearing carpets, imitation woods, polyurethane coatings or concrete to conserve natural resources.
• Bathroom furnishing using stoneware or artificial stone to conserve natural resources by avoiding real stone.
