Commercial Project
For commercial spaces, in particular hotel lobbies and business foyers, it is only right that the clients and visitors should be able to see the sophistication and professionalism of the company as soon as they enter the premises. Sitting on a classic and comfortable piece of furniture finished in a rich cigar leather immediately states the companies love for the finer things in life.
London’s East end, in particularly Shoreditch, have adopted this vintage style with vigor. It became a focal point with interior and furniture designers due to the classic industrial buildings from London’s past, that acted as the perfect contemporary backdrop for juxtaposing and experimental interiors. As a result of this, it has become a hub for edgy fashion labels alongside high society.

It is hard to clarify exactly what makes up the eclectic vintage style, it is not just simply the use of old antique items together but is the combining of various styles from a bygone era. It is further about using these items in an unconventional manner, for example, mixing a vintage leather trunk with a harsh industrial spot lamp to create an unconventional side table; this merges separate eras, classes and spaces to create an intriguing and unique interior.
The minimalism trend can be seen in abundance throughout the commercial sector, it is a well practiced style that without the right finish and quality can look cheap. The vintage style however, uses items that look as though they could have been family heirlooms for decades with stories and history behind them. |
