: R.D-Son, Light gleaming through the trees spreading light to shadowd areas.
Nocturne, explores the vivid light & colour that can come from darkness & introspection, & takes inspiration from the night, & the stars. Transition is key, as everything with a night-time ambience is transformed for daytime use. Materials are imbued with sensory experience, & objects emit atmospheric, light-filtered spectra. New levels of transparency, interactivity & reflection are explored through vinyl, superficial & matt layers, projecting new geometric forms & holographic patterns with ever-changing effects. Products & spaces are punctuated by light using obscured or integrated sources, & reactive & reflective surfaces whilst clean-edged smooth, materials such as scuba are prominent as a structured surface. Optical illusions are created through engineered holographic gradients, adding intriguing visual depth & enhanced by geometric patterns & textures. An over-exaggerated sports-like theme emerges from the dark, combining the daunt-less with the sleek, bold & graphic. Dynamic opposing colours are explored through geometric blocking & textures, highlighted by holographic reflections & tactile materials. Twilight skies & galactic constellations inspire alluring decoration. Twinkling, crisp cut vinyl & vivacious rainbows add opulence to dark material grounds, while cut-out objects allow a passage of light to caste a myriad of shadows for illusory pattern projections.

Performance textiles have duel functions: performance fabrics transition into eveningwear, with sleek materials featuring high-visibility elements. Flashes of colour and experimental surface manipulations such as 3d effects, fusing and transfer vinyl are key.
Decorative details are inspired by geomtric tiles: vinyl prints, twinkling metalic surfaces and mesmirising shapes have a glimmering quality that is reminiscent of intricate tiling.
