Burgundy, brass and travertine: the material language of a warm interior
· 2 min read · SG Concept Architecture

Fabrics come to the table first. Then stone, then metal. The soul of a space is often hidden in how these three come together.
Burgundy: depth and courage
Burgundy velvet gives a neutral space character in one move. Used on a sofa, a curtain or a washroom wall, it becomes the colour the space is remembered by.

Brass: the metal that holds light
Brass softens and reflects light. Used in small doses in pendants, profile details and handles, it gives a space a warm glow.
Travertine: a timeless base
With its porous texture and sand tones, travertine is the calm base that balances burgundy and brass. It works everywhere from a vanity top to a coffee table.
Finding the balance
- Light, calm tones on large surfaces (cream, travertine)
- Saturated colour at focal points (burgundy velvet)
- Metal in the details (brass, bronze)
- And our signature: a small surprise
“Designed to be different. But first, to be lived in well.”
