Neiman Marcus

Neiman Marcus by Elkus Manfredi

The Neiman Marcus in Natick Massachusetts was given special treatment by architects at Elkus Manfredi and the design and production facility at Zahner Art & Architecture. The front facade wraps around the building, and the store also features an interior facade done in the same style. Elkus Manfredi Architects designed the facade's undulations with perspective in mind. When travelers drive by, the structure appears animated and in motion, an effect caused by the way the facade curves in and out.

Zahner produced the ZEPPS™ Structure which allows the Stainless Steel skins on the surface to flow evenly across the metal. The ZEPPS™ Process is what gives architects the ability to produce any shape or form with exact efficiency. The skin is actually two different tones of interference coated stainless steel.

These two tones, Champagne and , are formed by a electro-chemical process which permanently changes the tone of Stainless Steel. Zahner has used this process for several other projects, including the Contemporary Jewish Museum which has a dark blue interference coating and a cross-fire brushed pattern. Interference Stainless was also used on the The Experience Music Project, The Meyer Fletcher Residence, and the Royals Crown at Kauffman Stadium.
