Our brief to ebonyThe brief to EBONY, was to embody the spirit of the design of Stand 47, which has hi-tech benefits with the familiarity of a cosy home. The furniture and fittings curated need to respond to the choice of materials in the architecture of the home, such as the parquet floor, the stone clad wall and the timber frames that provide the familiar references to ‘home’ while the hi-tech aspects are almost all embedded in the structure. This contrast between hi-tech and tactile ‘earthy’ materiality needed to come through in the furniture and fittings specified by EBONY. The balance between slick Modern design and more familiar local references, is what makes EBONY‘s contribution so important to the final touches at Stand 47.
