2. ARRIVAL

The studio showcases arwork created by myself as well as other artists. A custom marble sculpture entitled “Momento” which captures the sotness of drappery. Marble has traditonally been a material which gives a feeling of permanence, in this occasion the artwork is meant to give a moment of pause and a sense of calmness to the audience, which goes in line with studio environment. The wall painting is also done by myself and the wooden foot sculpture is from Hatch Area.

3. STUDIO

The Studio creates a calm and relaxing space for the designers. Metal mullions are covered with Travertine plastered columns and walls are covered in woven wallpaper set in wooden stripes (echoeing the ratan chairs by Pierre Jeannerat by Cassina). The ambience is designed like a home as suppose to a commercial oice.

TABLE BASE

11. CUSTOM LIGHT

We have only used one ype of stone in the whole studio as that helps to create a distilled environment while highlighting the forms and shapes. We also liked the porous texture of Travertine. The custom “Mushroom” light is carved from a single block of Travertine, all tables and shelves are made from Travertine slabs, and all columns, custom tables and lamp shades in Travertine plaster inish.
