Some of you know Stephanie Alexander for her cookbooks, but we know her for her kitchen because we designed it!  Still looking good after seventeen years.

SENSES ACTIVATED AT SATURDAY IN DESIGN

 

Saturday in Design is an annual trade event for the design community, this year the overall theme was 'Activate'.

Inspired by this theme, Nexus Designs in collaboration with Euroluce and Haworth created an exciting installation that activated the senses.

 

Referencing the rich visuals of moonscapes and space exploration, visitors found themselves in a playful and exciting environment which encouraged interaction and helped to showcase the Euroluce and Haworth products in a new and exciting context. 

 

Both our Graphic and Interior design teams collaborated on the creation and execution of this installation, resulting in a successful and memorable experience for all involved.

10 KEY TIPS FOR CREATING GREAT CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS

Tip 10: Artwork

A group of small artworks can be as powerful and interesting as one large one. Sculptural pieces can add height and definition to horizontal planes. A large artwork needs space around it, a small one can sit low over a table.

10 KEY TIPS FOR CREATING GREAT CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS

Tip 9: Will it fit?

For us, the floor plan and furniture layout is where we start. We need to know that we can make a space work well, long before looking at the detail of the colour palette, finishes, fittings, fixtures and furniture. A good plan just looks right and is simple and clean.

TEN KEY TIPS FOR CREATING GREAT CONTEMPORARY INTERIORS

Tip 8: Take a seat

Good furniture lasts. One of our favourite clients bought a classic sofa when they were engaged in their twenties and with some careful recovering and restuffing over time it is still going strong and now they’re in their eighties! Just think of all the landfill they haven’t produced over six decades of sitting comfortably.
