Perforated Wall Art has made our office here at Metalli go from plain old jane, to an iconic office. Before perforated wall art was even a thing, the team at Metalli would walk into the office and get greeted by a boring black wall. We needed a change. We needed something to inspire us. We needed something to show our audience - our vision of our new product. With that, we created our ‘wow-factor’ piece to make everyone who visited stand there in awe and show the unlimited possibilities of Perforated Wall Art.

The process was easy. All it took was 5 steps…

1. Selection
We got our creative juices flowing and researched to find a statement picture. This needed to be a picture with detail to allow customers to see what fine clarity Perforated Wall Art can express. For a start, we considered choosing just a scenery picture of the West Coast to represent ‘who we are and where we come from’… but we wanted more! We wanted to have a picture that conveyed emotion or action with the purpose of really showing our customers that we can craft any picture of your choice to create your ‘wow-factor’ piece. After this, the following steps just fell into place.

2. Conversion
By looking at the original picture of the golfer, it was tricky to imagine how the end product would actually turn out. However, with a couple of clicks in the drawing program, the original picture was converted to a perforated drawing. With one glance, we all knew that this statement picture was a definite goer!

3. Specifications
We were so pumped about this exciting addition to the office, so we wanted to next 3 steps to happen fast. Measurements were made and specifications were drawn up... the boring black wall was no longer clouding anyone’s day.

4. Manufacturing
The perforated picture details were delivered to the manufacturers. With a few clarifications made to minimize potential mistakes, the drawing of the perforation would soon be in our hands ready for installation.

5. Installation
The golf picture was split into 9 separate panels. When installing it, it was like a giant puzzle that we had to put together in order to see the final picture. Now as you can see from in the pictures below, Perforated Wall Art made by Metalli completely changes a room, it is eye-catching and the best part… it can be personalized to suit any setting and style.

About the
Professional

Metalli specializes in sheetmetal fabrication and bespoke perforated designs. 

Metalli is the sheet metal division of our parent company Hyway Manufacturing Ltd. With over 30 years of engineering experience, Hyway focuses heavily on aluminium products. During this time, Metalli has been the ‘behind-the-scenes’ manufacturer of components for several renowned NZ companies, enhancing their world class products with our in-house skills and perforated innovations. While we continue our business relationships with these companies, we have developed wider, unique skills and products that other companies and architects would love to have access to, so we have decided to bring these skills to the market.

What Metalli offers: Here at Metalli we can take care of standard perforated patterns with ease, with our ever-growing library of round, square and slotted punches we are sure to have what you need. Where Metalli really comes to life is with the more unique challenges that architects create in their job.

  • Picture perforated panels.
  • 3D perforated patterns.

Can you incorporate these ideas into your next project? Ideal for building façade, sunscreens, car park building façades with ventilation, balustrades... or inside feature walls, ceiling acoustic panels etc.

What Metalli takes care of: We believe it’s important to be open about what we can and cannot do with the companies we team up. Relationships are built on trust and being able to deliver the goods! We believe Metalli has the smarts to make our partners successful!

We can take your ideas and designs and make them a reality, with in-house CAD capabilities, CNC Turret Punch, Library of tooling, CNC 7 Axis 4.3m press brake, welding and a vetted powder coating partner. Metalli can take care of all this. Where we don’t get involved, at this point, is the façade design, how it fixes to building and installation.

You design and we fabricate, helping where needed, using our experience in sheet metal fabrication.
