A MoDeRN INDUsTRIAL
LIBRARY
The black and white look has
been interpreted with out-of-
the-ordinary materials. Instead
of tiles, black epoxy flooring
was chosen. The uninterrupted
surface creates a unique sheen
that gives a lighter presence
in the home. Designed for a
bachelor who is passionate
about books and reading –
he doesn’t have a television
at home – the library is the
highlight of the home.
The main idea was also
to keep the focus on the
bookshelves and lounge chair
in the middle of the space. To
achieve that, the design team
at Three-D Conceptwerke
selected fixtures such as track
lighting and ceiling fan in white.
Industrial touches were added by
way of metallic fixtures.
Dess Chew says: “Black and
white are very versatile colours
and are timeless, no matter
what design style or trend you
might choose. Homeowners
can inject personality into the
home by making use of different
materials and patterns to express
this colour combination. It
could be experimenting with
different tile patterns, such as
monochrome Peranakan tiles
or geometric patterns. For
example, in this case, using
black epoxy paint instead of
the more common cement
screed flooring or black tiles.”
