Definitions

  • the invention relates to the use of a multi-layer structure.
  • the present invention relates to the technical field of the generation of metallic or metallic surfaces.
  • Metallic surfaces and / or surfaces that imitate the appearance of metal are preferably used in product design or industrial design.
  • metallic surfaces are known almost exclusively for furnishings, such as lights, and cannot be used for many other areas of application due to their characteristic properties. From a formal aesthetic point of view, the metallic surfaces fulfill a high functionality and can significantly influence the overall appearance of a product.
  • Metallic surfaces are therefore used in the field of design, in particular architecture and interior design. Both a high-quality, noble appearance, for example through the imitation of gold, and a so-called industrial look or chic can be created.
  • the "supposed" and / or imitated age of metallic surfaces can also be used to influence the visual appearance.
  • metallic surfaces has a number of disadvantages and is therefore used comparatively rarely for various reasons.
  • metallic surfaces are associated with high manufacturing costs, for example if real gold and / or a metal plate - with a concomitant high consumption of resources - is used for imitation gold.
  • the weight of the products is greatly increased by the metallic surfaces. Accordingly, the use of metallic surfaces is limited with regard to the intended use.
  • the object of the present invention is to avoid or at least substantially reduce the aforementioned disadvantages in the prior art.

  • metallic surfaces with a decorative layer can be produced at low production costs.
  • a metal layer which interacts at least indirectly with a decorative layer, can be applied to at least one of the aforementioned elements.
  • metallic surfaces can be provided on different elements with comparatively low manufacturing costs.
  • These metallic surfaces can also have a polished surface and are not limited to matt appearances.
