Tonal Palettes combine with form and the use of industrial materials to punctuate refined interior details.

Each element creates drama, from the bold use of colour to the architectural lighting, which become works of art. “Contrast is key,” says HB editor-in-chief Wendy Moore. “Inky black versus crisp white; panoramic scenes versus graphic prints; soft textures versus brittle metallics.”
