  • compare contrast
  • collect textures
02 Layout02 / 04

Design study

Material board as spatial thinking

The board reads like a miniature room, with warm, cool, soft, and structured surfaces placed in conversation.

  • balance
  • scale
  • contrast

Terrazzo, ribbed clay, brass, lavender textile, and leaf details test how playful palettes can still feel composed.

  • terrazzo
  • ribbed clay
  • brass accent

  • rough notes
  • swatch labels
  • color ratios
