raumProbe Stuttgart – „Quality over Quantity“
Aside from the visual impression, material haptics is also
of great importance to architects and designers. With this
in mind, raumProbe Stuttgart provides a comprehensive
insight into the world of materials. It is a unique combination
of an online database and a materials’ exhibition.
materialWelt is one of the most comprehensive exhibitions
of innovative building materials, with over 50,000 samples.
Since the beginning of May 2016, Janoschka has been
showcasing a variety of digitally-printed material surfaces,
including glass, glass combined with LEDs, acrylics, metal,
melamine and much more.

Whether it is the bakery round the corner, a specially-designed
hotel or a kitchen in a family home – anyone can
now put their own individual mark on their environment
thanks to bespoke interior design. For Janoschka, too, the
appeal of digital printing lies in the ability to combine specific
material requirements with individual design ideas.
But, by developing innovative concepts that make the potential
of this technology attractive for almost any quantity,
the company is going one step further. Digital printing
efficiently consolidates the most varied requirements:
from a single item, through very small ranges that are only
duplicated sporadically, up to actual mass production
The reproduction of decors, including individual custom
design, has been one of Janoschka’s core competencies
since it was established in the 1970s. Whether stone,
wood or fantasy, the company’s design pool includes over
3,000 patterns and textures, leaving next to nothing to be
desired. Using various in-house digital printing technologies,
these decors are applied to high-quality substrates
without difficulty. Since the service life of the interior area
is particularly relevant, special finishing processes ensure
the absolute durability of the print and its resistance to
scratches or other damage. It is particularly interesting
when digital printing penetrates areas where, until now,
special material requirements called for sacrifices in design
or stability. External influences such as temperature
fluctuations and humidity cause major problems for conventional
digital printing.
The new speciality digital printing process is revolutionising
product and design ideas, whether for wet areas or
kitchens, versatile uses of printed glass surfaces, such
as room dividers, or for lighting and accentuated wall
solutions. Combining colour-intensive designs with LED
lighting can provide strong accents not only on kitchen
splashbacks, but, as seen on the German island of Sylt,
can bring the nearby sea directly into the stairwell of an
exclusive hotel. Surprising effects can be created whatever
the approach, with renowned international kitchen
manufacturers and interior designers now able to rely on
Janoschka’s product expertise.
