The Bathroom as a Complete Language
A beautifully proportioned tap gains meaning through the basin it accompanies. A freestanding bath changes the relationship between the room and its surrounding architecture. Furniture establishes scale, while finishes determine how light moves across the space.
The Details That Complete a Room
Forbes & Lomax approaches these everyday elements differently — treating electrical accessories as part of the interior rather than simply as functional necessities.
The Architecture Beneath the Surface
Electrical systems, outlets, data connections and controls are essential to contemporary life, yet they rarely form part of the architectural vision. Traditionally, they are added to finished surfaces, becoming visible interruptions within an otherwise carefully composed environment.
The Art of Disappearing
Designed as a minimal alternative to traditional electrical systems, 22 System integrates electrical wall accessories directly into architectural finishes, allowing technology to become part of the architecture rather than an addition to it.
The Quiet Power of Detail
A light switch occupies only a fraction of a wall, yet its material, proportion and placement can subtly influence the character of an entire room.
The Bathroom as a Living Space
The bathroom is increasingly considered an extension of the wider interior, with fittings and furniture selected with the same attention given to kitchens, living spaces and bedrooms.
A Century of Bathroom Design
From the practical elegance of the early twentieth century to the expressive geometry of Art Deco and the refined forms of later decades, each period introduced a new understanding of how a bathroom could look and function.
The Beauty of Timeless Finishes
At Lefroy Brooks, finishes are part of a design philosophy that combines heritage, craftsmanship and contemporary precision.
The Value of Finishes in Interior Design
At Forbes & Lomax, finishes are considered an extension of the design itself.
The Value of Finishes in Contemporary Design
Natural materials possess a quality that cannot easily be replicated: they evolve. Exposure to light, everyday use and the passing of time gradually create subtle changes that give each piece its own unique character.
22 System by Bocci arrives in Portugal
The 22 System is a range of electrical accessories designed for flush installation across a variety of materials. Rather than relying on a different solution for each finish, it uses mounting plates specifically adapted to the material in which it will be installed.
The Vessel Room
With The Vessel Room, the brand presents a space where iconic pieces take centre stage, offering a refined interpretation of early twentieth-century elegance.
Forbes & Lomax — The Language of Finishes
In a world where detail is often subordinated to function, Forbes & Lomax builds its identity precisely from detail itself.
Hard & Ware — Hardware as Architectural Language
In a design landscape where hardware is often invisible—reduced to pure utility—Hard & Ware offers a different perspective: one where handles, levers, and fittings become points of intensity within space.
Wall Hooks as Functional Sculpture — Spaces Within
Rather than treating hooks as isolated utilitarian pieces, Spaces Within develops the collection as a coherent family of forms.
Lefroy Brooks Bathroom
In a world where the bathroom is often reduced to a purely functional space, Lefroy Brooks offers a markedly different perspective: one that transforms it into an act of curation.
Style Meets Function
In an industry often divided between pure functionality and decorative excess, Coalbrook positions itself with clarity: design-led, technically precise, and rooted in a strong narrative.
The Organic Elegance of Dagmar
Few pieces of furniture capture the essence of 20th-century Scandinavian design as eloquently as the Clam Chair, conceived in 1944 by Danish designer Arnold Madsen.
Finishes that Define a Contemporary Classic
In high-end interior design, the smallest components often define the level of sophistication of a project. Handles, knobs, and hardware may seem secondary, yet they are the elements users touch every day.
Spaces Within: The poetry of functional objects in contemporary interior design
In contemporary interiors, tactile elements are becoming increasingly important. Handles, knobs, and hardware are no longer purely technical components — they are points of physical connection between user and space.
