Black is Back

A confident line in black.

A few favourite images opened a conversation about industrial details and memories of a home by the sea. Hannah brought the two together with pale wood-effect surfaces, graphic black shower panels and a bespoke painted bath. Brushed dark fittings, a metal basin stand and a sculptural mirror give this compact bathroom its character.

01 / A personal brief

Industrial detail.
A coastal memory.

The clients’ reference images brought industrial and steampunk interests together with memories of a family home by the sea. Hannah developed those ideas into pale wood-effect surfaces, graphic black shower panels and a bespoke painted bath.

Dark fittings, a metal basin stand and a sculptural mirror complete a room with a strong identity.
