Pendant lights – Bright but discreet glow, dimming, statement.
Floor lighting – Complimenting, flexible, metallic.
Accent lighting – Small, ornamental, make use of levels.
Materials & finishes.
Flooring – It’s got to be timber, timber or polished concrete.
Accents – Copper has died a long painful death. Pull some classic brass fixings in, these will age beautifully and brass has a much longer shelf life. Maybe marble in places to add a touch of class.

Upholstery – Stick will wool mixes and natural fibres, almost all of our world class collections used wool blends to further complement the natural curves and forms in each design.

Clean – Crisp, clean whites will serve perfectly as a base for your grand design.
Metallics – Keep to one, wether its brass, copper, steel, chrome; be subtle and sparing. After-all god truly is in the detail.
Accessories.
Ceramics – Authentic ceramics, hand-made pieces that tell a story. One or two of these in select locations will complement perfectly, stick to dark earthy tones.
Designer statements – An Eames House bird, an Aalto Vase, or maybe a Girard Doll will add character to the space. Objects of interest, conversation pieces is what we’re all about.
Life collectibles – A tribal mask from your trip to Peru, a fan from Beijing, whatever the object of interest, no matter how cliche, show it off.
