TOBY’S ESTATE - ARRAYA MALL
Our design intent for Toby’s Estate at Arraya Mall was to produce a delicate alternative to the area’s coffee scene for people to unwind and socialize in an otherwise corporate environment.
The objective was to create a space that is rich in earthy textures through encasing the interior in multi-toned dark Travertine with an abundance of greenery to parallel an indoor garden. The bar, made of solid glass bricks, is the main light source in the space which emanates a feeling of coziness in a blooming oasis. The furniture selections of De Sede’s sofas and Verges’ Mim collection imply a sense of formality while remaining informal in experience.
