In precise + architectural, industrialism is added to high-quality materials, with tones of brick and cement, as well as rusty burnished nuances and float glass green. There is also a strong emphasis on material aesthetics, with terrazzo, polished or blackened wood, glass, steel and bronze, and surfaces that have a matte finish or a subdued gloss effect. This harmonises with leather and heavy textiles, as well as with geometric designs and mottled patterns.
