We’ve been fortunate to work with Tom Dixon over the years as he is a keen supporter of British manufacturing and heritage materials. We had previously made some tables with him that featured at the Craft Café using a finish that was a heavily applied brush stroke, using these beautiful bold blues. In 2017 we secured a tender to produce and install bespoke splashbacks for 40 apartments at the Upper Riverside Complex on the Greenwich Peninsula.

Vitreous enamel was specified by Design Research Studio and SOMM architects as the splashback material to be used on a new collection of Tom Dixon designed apartments in the Upper West Side building at Greenwich Peninsula.  Through the contractor Ergonom – who also supplied all the kitchens, wardrobes and flooring – we won the tender to supply these splashbacks.  There were two colour palettes finalised for the project, one using a white and indigo graffito finish and the other using the dark green enamel fade seen here on the show home.  The green enamel gloss sits perfectly against the patinaed copper extractor hood.  A match made in metal heaven

For the templating we used laser measures and traditional metal rules to get the most accurate measurements.  There was only 1mm tolerance across a 5 metre span on some kitchens so we had to be precise, right down to the location of the plug sockets.  Which, we are proud to say our team got spot on every time.  Measure twice cut once was the daily mantra.
