A wall-wrapping photo of a stunning sunset set the color palette for the space. From the soft sandy-colored carpeting to the soft blues of the walls, the theme is subtly carried out throughout the space. The design distills the colors of the rainbow into tonal values that show up in monochrome exposed edge plywood boxes that showcase the company’s furniture.
The same pops of color are utilized in upholstery to breathtaking effect. In addition to introducing a number of new GRC products, the design pays homage to the things that unite us. In this case, the splendor of a sunset.
