TURNSTYLE DESIGNS
Echo was inspired by the central hub of any kitchen , the cooker . Christina Roberts has created an edge pull which aims to support the look and feel of a British classic , the Range cooker . The Range is known for its strong , timeless industrial qualities and she wanted to create hardware which embodies the strength and reliability , while ensuing a sophisticated look . The most important aspect of the design was to have a deeper leading edge than others on the market , to create a stronger line and distinctive feel . For balance , she gently rounded and broadened the front section creating a rolled edge , helping to lighten and soften the overall design . Available in both standard and custom lengths . You can view this product along with the entire Turnstyle collection at our fabulous new showroom in Chelsea Harbour , Design Centre East SW10 0XF .

BESPOKE ARCHITECTURAL EXTERNAL FEATURE CEILING
The client required a gently sloping 1,330m2 feature ceiling based upon a 4.5m square grid comprising illuminated conical shaped panels interfacing with porthole glazing in the walkway above to provide a highly flexible use well-lit activity space below the newly built Olympic Steps . D & D were responsible for the entire design , engineering , manufacture and installation of the 268 panel ceiling and its support system . Each conical feature was a substantial 4.5m x 4.5m x 1.7m tall . GRP offered a modular off site lightweight yet robust solution capable of incorporating a 1.5m dia hole matching in with the precast concrete portholes and a band of 12 No premoulded spot lighting recesses . Large scale conical ceiling feature panels would have been difficult to economically construct in other materials . D & D ’ s GRP product delivered a significant weight saving compared to concrete or other stone type solutions . Web : www . design-and-display . co . uk
