MIMIC receives the interzum award 2025 in the category “High Product Quality”
SAUERESSIG Surfaces impresses with pioneering AI software MIMIC for the digital reproduction of natural surfaces
SAUERESSIG Surfaces is pleased to announce that its AI-powered software solution MIMIC has been honored with the interzum award 2025 in the category “High Product Quality”. This prestigious award recognizes MIMIC as a groundbreaking innovation that is redefining the development of decorative surfaces through technological excellence, outstanding design, and a strong commitment to sustainability.
The official certificate was presented on May 19 during the “winners’ reception” at the Congress-Centrum Nord of Koelnmesse.
As part of interzum 2025, MIMIC will be showcased to an international audience from May 20 to 23, both physically in an exhibition along the Messeboulevard and permanently in the online exhibition at www.interzum.com.
What makes MIMIC unique
MIMIC is a next-generation software solution based on cutting-edge artificial intelligence, taking the digital reproduction of natural surfaces to a whole new level. With its intuitive user interface, precise controls, and real-time editing capabilities, MIMIC opens up unprecedented creative freedom while conserving valuable resources.
Digitally rethinking sustainable design
Traditional methods of developing decors rely on real samples, physical materials, and resource-intensive prototyping. MIMIC breaks with these conventions:
Instead of consuming natural resources, designs are created entirely digitally. This eliminates not only material waste and logistical effort but also reduces the demand for rare or endangered natural materials. MIMIC enables a resource-efficient design process that meets the highest aesthetic standards- without compromising the environment.
Limitless creativity
MIMIC redefines creative potential. Where previously only existing materials or limited artwork capacities were available, MIMIC unlocks virtually endless design possibilities: Designers can digitally recreate rare, unavailable, or entirely new wood types, textures, and surface patterns. Elements such as color, grain, and distribution can be flexibly customized in real time. The result: one-of-a-kind surfaces tailored precisely to the needs of each project. In addition, MIMIC can be used to create sizes and reports for designs that were previously unavailable as natural templates.
Technology that inspires
MIMIC combines state-of-the-art AI models with decades of surface expertise from SAUERESSIG Surfaces. The result is hyper-realistic reproductions with natural depth and lifelike tactile qualities. The software captures even the finest details, reflections, and gradients with impressive precision. All designs are production-ready and suitable for industrial applications such as embossing or digital printing.
Simple and intuitive to use
Despite its technological complexity, MIMIC is remarkably user-friendly. Its intuitive interface allows users to get started immediately, without prior knowledge or complex training. Thanks to real-time editing, creative ideas can be implemented instantly and visualized immediately – significantly accelerating the creative workflow.
A strong signal to the industry
The interzum award 2025 confirms MIMIC’s position as a pioneering software solution for surface design. It demonstrates that SAUERESSIG Surfaces stands for innovation, quality, and sustainability – and continues to set new standards at the intersection of technology, design, and environmental responsibility.
“This award is a strong affirmation of our commitment to design, technology, and sustainability. MIMIC combines our decades of expertise in surface design with cutting-edge AI technology and opens up entirely new possibilities for our customers.” – Matti von Kannen, SAUERESSIG Surfaces
