ARO Plank 1
Architecture Research Office Collection
About
ARO Plank is a wall system
composed of modular planks
that assemble to create standard
patterns, yielding a continuous
architectural finish. ARO Plank 1 has
two distinct half round modules that
are composed of leather-wrapped
extruded foam and available in four
standard configurations. Planks install
quickly and easily with Spinneybeck’s
Interlock Mounting System and are
available in wide range of leather
qualities and colors.

Maintenance
For finished leathers, wipe with a cool, damp cloth. For tougher soiling, use a pHbalanced soap and rinse. Repeat, if needed. For naked (aniline) leathers, wipe entire
surface with a soft cloth and cool water to even out any abrasions or stains. Do not
spot rub, for it will darken only that area. Other leather cleaners such as saddle soap or
household cleaners that may contain harsh chemicals, alcohol or ink removers should
never be used.
Lead Time
Made to order and certain lead times will apply
Custom
Custom configurations and seam options available—lengths beyond 9'-0" (2.74 m) must
be quoted
