Kandes is a Swiss brand of three-dimensional wall panels made of gypsum. Made from reinforced natural gypsum, painted on-site in any colour, and A1 non-combustible to EN 13501-1 — in Switzerland, VKF reaction-to-fire group RF1 (no contribution to fire) — Kandes panels create walls with depth and calm. For the private interior and for demanding projects alike, with or without integrated LED. Delivery throughout Switzerland; personal advice and showroom appointments in Zurich.
For your project
For architects, interior designers and project leads, Kandes fits cleanly into the specification. The panels suit the full range of demanding interiors — residential, hospitality, retail, wellness, offices and public buildings. For Swiss commercial and public buildings, VKF fire-protection requirements and the SIA standards govern; the A1 classification (EN 13501-1) corresponds to VKF reaction-to-fire group RF1 and provides the dependable basis. We support specification and project quantities with samples and advice — see Decorative Wall Panels for Swiss Architects and Specifying A1 Non-Combustible Wall Panels.
For your home
In the private interior, a Kandes wall sets a quiet, refined accent — in the entrance hall and along the staircase, in the living and dining room, behind the bed or behind the television. The generous spaces of a villa especially gain calm and depth from a single continuous, seam-free wall. Because the panels are painted in any colour, the wall defers to your scheme rather than dictating it. Browse the full range of patterns — from calm, flowing forms to crisp geometric structures — and feel the texture and depth on a sample.
Pattern, colour and light
The range spans geometric structures, soft organic forms and classic ornamental patterns — see the geometric patterns or the soft, organic forms. Every panel is painted on-site and over-paintable, so the wall carries your exact colour. For indirect light, Kandes offers LED-integrated 3D wall panels: the standard colour temperature is 6000 K (cool daylight); 3000 K, 4000 K or RGB are available as a custom option on request for a surcharge.
Why Gypsum
Gypsum gives the surface a density and depth that lighter materials do not reach. Because each panel is filled and painted on-site, the result is a continuous, seamless pattern - quiet and coherent. It is a deliberately restrained material choice: a mineral composition of reinforced natural gypsum, with no harmful additives in the finished panel.
Natural Material
Reinforced natural gypsum, mineral, low-VOC, with no harmful additives in the finished panel.
Fire Safety
A1 non-combustible to EN 13501-1, in Switzerland VKF RF1 (no contribution to fire); contributes no fuel load and produces no flaming droplets.
Custom Finish
Painted on-site and over-paintable at any time, in any colour and any texture.
LED or plain
non-LED or with integrated LED, across multiple geometries - 6000 K standard, RGB on request.
Continuous pattern
Filled and painted as one wall - a continuous pattern with no visible seams, not a grid of separate boards.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get samples or a quote in Switzerland?
Request a sample online or contact your Swiss distributor. Kandes sells directly via kandes.ch and through a curated network of distributors; for current Swiss pricing, your distributor is the right point of contact.
Do the panels contain harmful additives?
No. The panels are reinforced natural gypsum and contain no harmful additives in the finished panel. Gypsum is a low-VOC mineral material.
Does Kandes deliver across Switzerland?
Yes. Kandes delivers throughout Switzerland. In Zurich, a fuller selection can be experienced at the partner showroom by appointment.
Are LED-integrated versions available?
Yes, several models are available with integrated LED. The standard colour temperature is 6000 K; 3000 K, 4000 K or RGB are available as a custom option on request for a surcharge.
Can the panels be painted, and in which colour?
Yes. All panels are painted on-site and can be over-painted at any time, in any colour, so the wall matches your scheme exactly.
Are the panels non-combustible?
Yes. The panels are A1 non-combustible to EN 13501-1 — the highest fire rating under European fire safety standards. In Switzerland this corresponds to VKF reaction-to-fire group RF1 (no contribution to fire); the VKF regulations and the relevant SIA standards also govern.
What distinguishes 3D gypsum wall panels?
The distinction is in the result: because each panel is filled and painted on-site, the surface reads as one continuous, seam-free pattern rather than a grid of separate boards. The basis is reinforced natural gypsum — dense, mineral, with no harmful additives in the finished panel.
