With REVERENCE DARKNESS, BASF Coatings transforms end-of-life tires into a premium automotive coating – combining circular economy with a striking new aesthetic.
What makes this development truly stand out is not only the sustainability aspect, but the design quality itself:
A deep, intense gloss enriched with fine, almost star-like reflections creates an exceptional optical depth that immediately captures attention.
As highlighted by the MATERIALICA Award Jury:
“REVERENCE DARKNESS stands out through its exceptional optical quality – a deep gloss with fine, star-like reflections that immediately captures attention. At the same time, the coating represents a consistent circular economy approach by rethinking recycled tires as a valuable material source. This combination of sensorial design and sustainable innovation makes BASF Coatings a well-deserved winner.”
— Prof. Peter Naumann, Design Faculty – University of Applied Science Munich, Chairman of the MATERIALICA Award Jury, Design
