At Vastint's Riga office, one surface runs right through the floor. Foresso Ivory Cedar & Walnut, our timber terrazzo, appears on the bar, the walls, the furniture, and the joinery, used in a different way in each area.
The colourway sets pale cedar and darker walnut chips in a cream binder, so the surface reads warm and busy up close and calm across a room. In the cafe-bar it clads the counter base and a structural column, giving the entrance a solid, chip-heavy base beneath the dark worktop.
Elsewhere it works as a flat feature panel. Around the welcome screen it is set vertically into the timber-slatted wall, framed like a picture, with the aggregate carrying the detail rather than any applied pattern.
It also tops the round lounge tables and fronts the low storage units.
In the meeting rooms it returns as inserts in the shelving and joinery. Used this way, one low-carbon surface does the work of several finishes and keeps the whole fit-out consistent, from the entrance through to the quiet rooms.
