Acrylic Custom Materials
Acrylic casting designs elevated with unique effects
Experimenting with acrylic effects
The various effects we incorporate with our designs here at Midton add allure and depth to each custom material. We utilise a range of proprietary processes to develop a unique shape and form for your product, many of which we have developed and pioneered ourselves.
In-house experimentation and development are constantly creating new and innovative ways of elevating the experience we create when designing unique acrylic products and experiences.
Playing with light effects with acrylics
There is so much that we can do with your acrylic lighting designs. At its simplest, we can match the colour to your brand. We can also add gradients to create a light effect, frosting a surface to diffuse light or texturing a facet to add a tactile element.
Various custom material effects can help to add an extra layer of depth, meaning or function to your project.

How do we add these effects to acrylic?
There is no easy answer to this as there are many different processes and minds at work at each stage of the process. We combine hands-on sculptural techniques and painstaking finishing processes with complex multi-stage casting and intricate machining.
Many of the effects we create are a collaborative coming together of multiple processes, working in unison to pull off the desired outcome. Take a look at our larger acrylic embedments section and our case studies.
