The EB Edit Episode 03 — Materiality
Our Interior Designer Karlee Arnold chats about how materiality goes far beyond selecting finishes. It’s about how materials relate.
Soft, tactile surfaces against the sharpness of steel. An aged stone beside a clean, refined line.
A balance between sheen and matte… reflection and absorption.
Because light doesn’t just land, it moves across surfaces. And it’s in that movement, between materials, that a space comes alive.
It’s not just what you choose, but where it sits.
Horizontal or vertical. A surface you touch, or one you simply pass by.
And always, how it’s experienced by the client.
Some materials soften and evolve over time.
Others remain consistent, day one to year twenty.
Our role is to create balance, whatever the brief, so everything sits together with clarity and intention.
Because when materiality is right…
a space doesn’t just hold visually.
It holds emotionally.
