For the fifth year in a row, All Your Colours designed the sustainable exhibition environment for Amsterdam based Tuttobene. The exhibition presented socially responsible designs of 11 innovative newcomers during Milan Furniture Fair.

The exhibition was constructed from modular cardboard boxes - a consequent extension of Tuttobene’s ideology of environmental and social design responsibility - giving the exhibition a crisp but natural look.

The exhibition employed two colour schemes: the natural brown tones of the cardboard combine with neat white graphics in the exhibition area allowing the displayed products to take center stage. The public areas such as reception, bar and reclining areas were brought forward and connected with a strong apple green in contrast to the reduced colour in the exhibition area.

Each designer had a ‘peep box’; a cardboard volume hiding a little secret, a surprise or some insider information about about their project.Set cards featuring each designer complemented the exhibition; the cards could be collected individually or in complete packs at the information desk.

This centrally located Amsterdam apartment had to undergo a complete conversion, from run-down artist studio to stylish city dwelling.

Our client envisaged an environment that is light and spacious and wanted to open up the space by reducing loose furniture to a minimum.

Interior concept

We specified a versatile and unassuming selection of built in interior fittings that allowed us to combine the living, eating & working areas as a open-plan and multi-use space.

To avoid the kitchen dominating the open-plan living space we designed and custom-built wall-unit that holds the kitchen, large amounts of storage and also a desk workstation. This multi-use counter runs from the kitchen into the living room.

Lighting

To cater for the versatile usage of the space we needed to accommodate different light scenarios. We employed indirect and diffused lighting for soft background atmosphere, next to direct light sources for localised work and activity areas.

We were asked by Ferro explore to design
new research facilities that reflect their corporate identity: to create an
inspiring environment where the marketers and respondents feel at ease.

The Living room represents the fresh thinking and identity of Ferro.

We created different areas to make the user feel at home: a comfortable lounge area to realx and chat next to flexible table settings to facilitate the freedom to work in different groups. The Living room is perfect for giving inspiring presentations and holding workshops and brainstorm sessions.

Our layout allows sharing the space for different uses and settings.

This project was designed in different phases to accommodate the client’s budget.

All Your Colours collectively visited the Bread & Butter fashion trade show in Berlin.
It was full of inspiration, with interesting people and great conversations.
