Aluminium gold-hued struts coloured by Sandalor will line the exterior of the HEKLA Tower, which architect Jean Nouvel's studio is designing in Paris. The metal struts have been selected by Ateliers Jean Nouvel from Sandalor's range of colorful anodised aluminum finishes, which are made specifically for architectural use.
