Diageo

 

Client: Diageo
Project: Brand Experience Area
Architect/Interior Designer: Skakel & Skakel

 

One of the reasons architects and specifiers choose Ben Dawson Furniture is our ability to actively contribute to the design development process, working alongside the client and contractors rather than simply following a set of instructions. This approach was hugely beneficial when we were briefed to create the interior fittings for the Brand Experience Area in Diageo headquarters.

This was a challenge which demanded much more than design and manufacture skills. We got under the skin of the brands and used that understanding to realise the interior designers’ vision. Our work included grain and bottle displays, map walls, display cabinets and wall panelling, and incorporated special materials such as etched glass and metals in combination with figured lacewood to reflect both heritage and brand values.
