Entry into the dining room at the DKO designed Tombo Den presents a sense of mystery. Inside, the experience draws on the cinematic depth of noir films, where neon lights and a darkened interior palette featuring Eveneer Prefinished in Moka Oak add to the evocative and moody dining space.
Concrete and steel finishes are softened with the richness of the timber veneer. The specification of our Eveneer Prefinished not only ensured a smooth installation process but most importantly offered a level of quality and consistency that was fundamental on a project of this scale.
Bringing just the right amount of intrigue is a hero feature of the inimitable Eveneer ALPI Sottsass Grey with its distinct swirling pattern. “Textural contrasts and artistic collaborations define Tombo Den’s interior,” says Head of Interiors at DKO, Michael Drescher.
The material composition and detailing make this project a stand-out, as DKO Senior Associate Isabel Munro articulates: “We wanted to create something sophisticated yet dynamic, where materiality becomes part of the experience.”
The designers have achieved this through an interplay of timber veneer with tactile velvets and hand-dyed shibori banners. The effect is a dining environment that’s intimate and memorable.
