Office Bar and Curved Floor

A curved bar in dark marble; the curved floor edge was shaped on our robot and dry-laid in the factory first.

Location: Ankara
Stone: Dark veined marble · grey marble
Production: Curved panels, curved profiles on the robot

Project

We made the bar and floor for an office entrance in Ankara. The front of the bar is clad in dark marble with wavy veining, in single-piece curved panels. The grey marble floor of the hall ends in a curved line; we shaped the profile of that edge on the robot in our workshop. Before shipping, we laid the pieces out on the factory floor to check that they fit together.
