    • The Fold
    Long, monolithic reception counter in a spacious industrial style interior with arched windows and ambient ceiling lighting, in the Warwick building, London.

    The Fold

    Warwick Building

    A minimalist reception desk crafted from recycled paper composite Richlite, makes a bold architectural statement. With a sleek, monolithic form and rich, leathered finish, the Black Diamond colour brings industrial elegance and lasting durability to the space. Crafted by Vibry Ross Design & Construction to develop a look like blackened steel, over time the material's patina will deepen, enriching the surface with unique character. Designed by Morrell + Lorraine the striking desk spans over several metres, anchoring the room and complementing the terracotta timber cladding and polished concrete floor.
