Group GSA's interior designer Millicent Marks landed on curved forms as the spatial anchor, and from there, medium carbonised bamboo veneer was the obvious material choice.

The warm amber tones of HOB's vertical grain bamboo veneer, 0.6mm faced on cellulose backing in 1250x2500mm sheets, became the defining surface across the open-plan kitchen and breakout zone. Against the rounded joinery profiles, the grain reads beautifully: consistent, refined, and unmistakably natural.

For a project where the brief centred on occupant comfort, the material credentials mattered too. HOB's carbonised bamboo veneer holds Global GreenTag Level A certification and a GreenTag Health Rate of Platinum, making it one of the stronger performing interior finish materials available for commercial fit-outs. When you're specifying a product to go into a space people occupy every day, that rating carries real weight.

Working directly with the design team, we supported the development of a bespoke bamboo door handle for the meeting room joinery.

Custom-milled from carbonised laminated bamboo at 25x25mm, 540mm tall with a dual-block configuration and a 30mm hand clearance gap, the handle was designed to complement the veneer doors without competing with them. From brief to installed handles, the entire process ran just over three months, factory direct.

The outcome is exactly what the client set out to achieve. The warm tones settle the space. The curves soften it. And the material consistency across veneer panels and handles ties the whole floor together in a way that feels considered rather than co-ordinated.
