The Role of Materiality in Modern Interiors
Material as part of the experience
Material selection influences far more than the appearance of an interior. Texture, reflection, warmth and durability all shape the way a space is experienced over time.
A restrained palette can create depth when each material is chosen with purpose and allowed to contribute its own character.
Building a balanced material palette
We consider materials in relation to architecture, natural light and the intended atmosphere of the project. Contrasts between refined and tactile surfaces can give a space richness without unnecessary complexity.
How many materials should a space use?
There is no fixed number. The goal is to create a coherent palette where each material has a clear role.
Do you prioritise natural materials?
We select materials according to the project, balancing appearance, performance, longevity and the overall design intent.
