Hard surfaces like stone, ceramics, or concrete are hard to cushion by using the common attachment techniques such as screwing, riveting and glueing. By using a blowtorch/ heatgun we heat up a metallic stamp in order to partially melt Alcantara onto a stone through pressure. With this technique we achieved a durable cushioning and connection between Alcantara and the stone without any added connecting material, just by permanently melting the synthetic Alcantara onto the stone’s surface. Now we can cushion the world!
