Hyatt Center

The Hyatt Center is a shining curved skyscraper with an all-glass facade located in Chicago, IL, and the first in the city designed by renowned architectural firm, Pei Cobb Freed & Partners.

The firm characteristically specifies the best of the best. And in the case of the Hyatt Center, Fabricoil® was included in the specification for its beauty, strength, and ability to blend natural, earthy design choices with more modern selections.

For select common areas within the building’s interior, architects chose full-length mesh curtains using 3/8” Antique Bronze Fabricoil®. This finish was the selected intentionally to complement other materials used, including real wood tables, flooring, and half-wall railings.

The space also features materials that give it a sense of modernity, like stainless steel railings with large glass infill panels. Coiled wire fabric’s inherent high-end aesthetic coupled with the dark finish allow the curtains to serve as the meeting point for materials on two ends of the design spectrum, steel/glass and wood. Ultimately, Fabricoil’s ability to complement a host of design choices allowed architects to produce multiple signature interior spaces for a best-in-class building.
