Milan, Italy – April 7, 2025 – At the Design You Can Feel exhibition in Milan, ASUS has introduced a breathtaking new Signature Edition Zenbook Series—a collection of laptops that transcend traditional design by celebrating the natural wonders of the Earth. Among the most captivating of these is the Vaadhoo Island, Maldives – Luminous Blue edition, which pays tribute to the magical glow of bioluminescent ocean waves.
This exclusive global launch redefines what a laptop can be—each model is a story, a landscape, and a technological marvel, crafted with ASUS’s revolutionary Ceraluminum™ technology.
A Nature-Inspired Tribute: The Signature Edition Series
The new Signature Edition Zenbook Series transforms each laptop into a symbolic tribute to the Earth’s dynamic landscapes. Every design is realized through Ceraluminum™, ASUS’s patented material that combines the lightweight properties of aluminum with the toughness of ceramic, ensuring unmatched durability and sustainability.
Each edition in the series is a harmonious blend of artistic inspiration and engineering precision:
Geldingadalir, Iceland – Obsidian Black
Inspired by Iceland’s volcanic terrain, this edition artfully balances matte and glossy finishes. Precision laser sintering mimics the natural movement of cooling lava, evoking the power and serenity of a fire-forged landscape.
Pamukkale, Turkey – Pamukkale White
Reflecting the calm beauty of Turkey’s cascading white terraces and mineral-rich waters, this variant features shimmering dual golden sheens and precisely milled curves. The CNC diamond-cut craftsmanship captures the peaceful dance of flowing water and stone.
Wadi Rum, Jordan – Terra Mocha
Mirroring the rugged charm of Jordan’s sandstone cliffs and desert dunes, this edition features a rosette-like surface created using ASUS’s proprietary ceramization technology. The result is a tactile experience that highlights the balance between natural randomness and engineered elegance.
Vaadhoo Island, Maldives – Luminous Blue
Capturing the surreal, starlit shimmer of Vaadhoo Island’s bioluminescent beaches, this edition utilizes calibrated laser-induced oxidation. The finish creates a dynamic interplay of texture and natural luminescence, echoing the ethereal magic of glowing ocean shores. It is a heartfelt tribute to one of the Maldives’ most visually spellbinding natural phenomena.
