Asona is proud to bring to the NZ ceiling market, OWA Oriental which is a part of the multi-award winning OWAconsult collection designed by Hadi Teherani and has won the international ICONIC AWARD 2018: Innovative Architecture - Best of Best.

It has always been extremely important to OWA to be able to give its customers individual design freedom and a high level of creativity. Hadi Teherani's maxim, “My holistic approach has always led me to go beyond the usual creative boundaries," has taken this claim and turned it into a pioneering design concept. And so the new “Best of Best” title in the ICONIC AWARDS 2018 marks another high point in OWA’s development as a company and represents a boost to its successful international growth.

OWA Oriental dissolves the square grid pattern of the suspended ceiling and allows designers to optimise acoustics in nonlinear room designs. There's no longer a need to conform to the rectangle chequerboard style pattern. This ensures an exciting and sensational look for creative people with the courage for the exceptional.

An excellent example of this is the newly refurbished Xero Two Building. Xero needed new office space for their growing staff numbers in their biggest hub – Wellington. The landmark building was refurbished by Arrow International who selected OWA Oriental mineral fibre ceiling tiles along with the OWA’s unique grid LED strip lighting for the staff relaxation areas. The striking Oriental design breaks up uniformity of the grid and tile system and the introduction of the unique grid LED lighting further enhances the uniqueness of the design.

OWA Oriental can look good in auditoria, retail and showrooms as well as more functional areas like offices and foyers, and can be ordered through Asona.
