Not really happy to restrict the usage of the former full nomadic lighting to cooking or snacking time, he decided to mix conventional paint with iron powder and test how it would react to magnets. Remembering the days long before when he was playing with magnets, Nicolas adapted 3 magnets on the lighting and fixed it.

The question was precisely how to hold the stick! Like a candle the lighting was supposed to enlight the user in any situation: dining, reading. Few years ago, he was working on a concept of innovative small wireless lighting called “Elfe” looking like a sharp stick of opaque Plexiglas. Today, as a designer, he has not completely stopped to be a child.

Nicolas Triboulot has been amazed by the magic of magnets since he was a child. But is it more inconvenient that using conventional undercoats? Unless you are found of grey, you have to apply a top coating, or even thin wallpaper. But some would say that applying paint is more relaxing than screwing! A minimum of two passes of Magnetude is required to hold thick documents or flat objects. Magnetude is not fit for lazy people : the more paint you apply, the stronger the magnets hold on the support. MAGNETUDE does not cause electromagnetic disturbances (Magnetude is not a magnet it is an “inert” material). MAGNETUDE is harmless: it contains neither lead nor heavy metals. MAGNETUDE was certified according to the TOY STANDARD NF EN 71/3 which has opened up a world of possibilities giving access to producing children’s equipment with numerous applications in the field of games and decoration: applied on walls or furniture, accompanied by magnetic accessories (games, puzzles, friezes), it enables the children to give their play area a three-dimension look and to express their creativity decorating their living space on their own. MAGNETUDE is the ideal tool for creating progressive designs: the decoration becomes nomadic, the arrangement adapts more easily to new fantasies, and the objects may be moved and rearranged on the surface simply using magnetism. As an example, Nicolas TRIBOULOT has designed a full nomadic house called “Modul’air” (see attached pictures and videos), as a result of multiple combinations of Magnetude, magnetized furniture and various elements of decoration. We may as well conceive habitations where all the furniture could be fixed with magnets on supports coated with Magnetude. Thus, depending on the user’s artistic skills, MAGNETUDE will be able to turn the walls of a living-room, bedroom, kitchen or office…into a playground or a nomadic decoration area. MAGNETUDE may also replace a sheet of iron pasted on wooden panels, which makes subsequent cutting or piercing easier.

MAGNETUDE is an advantageous alternative to traditional magnetic boards: less costly, no fixing constraints and applicable on surfaces of all sizes, flat or curved, horizontal or vertical. Its creator, the designer Nicolas TRIBOULOT, wanted to offer interior design which frees the user from the classical gluing and screwing constraints that mark the surface for good: magnets adhere directly to the surface. It may be used as a finish or covered by classic finish paint, slate paint for an effect wipe clean vinyl board” finish or even by thin wallpaper.īasically, Magnetude is an innovative paint containing fine metal particles making all surfaces sensitive to magnetism.

MAGNETUDE is efficient after two or three coats. Apply the coat either with a brush or a roller or even a Spray gun: Shake while coating. But it’s very easy to dilute with water (up to 5%) in order to make application easier.
