The Gala Event
Many guests were fascinated by the space the beautiful timber construction and stepped ceiling above the central Ofuro inspired bathtub (produced by James Wellesley & David Hayward Modelmaking respectively)
The activation of the space with the diffusers set within the tub, produced by Rigby & Rigby MAKE lab was always a topic of conversations throughout the evening. Lots of people made comments about the lovely sanitary ware concept range designed by Samuel Heath which celebrates British craftsmanship. Guests were intrigued by the scallop cut out to the rear of the handle, taking inspiration from wood cutting tools which inspired the handle profiles.
People were amazed by the high quality of the build generally in the bathroom space, and especially the beautiful junctions between oak & polished plaster, to stainless steel & mirror.
A special mention must be dedeicated to our Construction team & Will Rigby who has overseen the bathroom construction. This has been delivered to the highest possible standard, in relation to the other Rigby & Rigby Construction projects.
The digital content portraying scenes where Rigby & Rigby are working on projects currently alongside the lovely circadian lighting and soundscape made for a beautiful backdrop , and provided some energy within our bathroom space to compliment the evening celebrations.
Many thanks to Powerplant, Lutron, ketra, Tewke and the amazing team at Rigby & Rigby Creative Division who have created this amazing element of inspiration. Which transforms from daytime to evening scenes.
As the evening drew on, and guests enjoyed the bathroom space , it was a joy to hear how calming and peaceful it felt when in the space for a slightly longer period of time. People enjoyed the ambiance and the subtle scent of Hinoki Cedarwood (by Jo Malone) in the space to compliment the theme.
