the Architect, and to mimic the varied intensity of musical notes....

is not a normal black... it is 'blacker' than
most and selected for the Waldorf by their
designer....
29. Waldorf -Astoria Spa floor:
...Water-jet cutting for the continuously
changing curves.. and their requirement
of very small joints offered a special
challenge... floor-panels are backed with
honeycomb
38. Overseas buildings
In the passed 24 months we have been selected to supply 5 large
buildings by one particularly powerful client.. They asked for their
projects to not be specifically mentioned at this time… keeping to their
wishes … and understanding that there are few more ( projects) in the
‘pipeline’ we are appropriately vague .
We are very sorry this sounds so mysterious. But we always take our
marching orders from our clients and adhere to their wishes… What
are you to take from this ? That there are some “big boys” out there
who very much like the way they are treated (by us); in fact they rely
on us and plan to do more work with us.
