Hospitality and retail interior: fit-out and custom furniture

A design direction for customer spaces that need to feel warm, last under daily use and express a brand through materials rather than signage.

The challenge

What the space needed.

Hospitality and retail interiors work hard: seating, counters and display have to be comfortable, durable and easy to maintain, and the fit-out often has to happen around trading hours.

Design intent

How it should feel.

Timber screens, curved banquettes, stone counters and warm lighting, with plum velvet used sparingly as a signature accent.
