Shell Use In Luxury Tech Craft.
Shell brings a distinctive natural finish to luxury technology products. Paua and mother of pearl can be incorporated as fine veneer inlays or carefully placed decorative details, adding colour, texture and iridescence to consumer electronics and smart devices. From headphones, speakers and gaming accessories to cameras, wearables and charging products, shell offers product developers a way to create a recognisable premium finish.
Each piece of shell has its own pattern and natural variation, giving designers scope to develop technology with a more individual character. Luméa works with designers, product developers and manufacturers to explore shell materials and formats for luxury tech design, custom product development and distinctive shell inlay applications.
