The intensity of colour and texture of the hanging fabric samples implied a monochromatic, white-on-white response for the showroom as a container. Further, the damaging effect of natural light on fabric samples required that the new showroom be planned as a semi-closed box within an existing reglazed shell.
Two curtains of anodised aluminium chain-mail are arranged to veil new full height glazing from the street, while allowing natural light (essential for assessing fabric colour) to penetrate the space in a controlled manner.
Large floor-to-ceiling mirrors are introduced to blur boundaries, increase the apparent space and to disguise the narrow opening formed at the junction between two former tenancies.
New composite stone reception desk and sample tables are positioned as set pieces, allowing the surrounding space to remain fluid and reconfigurable as required for particular events. Classic Jacobsen Swan chairs, desking and occasional tables complete the interior design solution.
