Stone and Light – An Ethereal Quarry Reception

In an elemental act of design, the sunlit quarry became a sculptural dining hall. Long communal tables fanned outward like sun rays across the stone floor, draped in flowing, sand-toned linens. Chairs softened with gauzy, wind-blown fabric created a sense of movement against the stillness of the rock.

Minimal, deliberate florals punctuated the tables, single-stem anthuriums in earthy, wine-washed tones placed on iron pin frogs, their raw simplicity echoing the rugged walls. Shadows carved by the quarry became part of the design, shifting across the textured surfaces as the day progressed, while a soaring cascade of tulle evoked falling water. 

Each element spoke in conversation with the landscape (stone, fabric, bloom, and light) emerging as one meditation on space, texture, and restraint.

“We were inspired by the wind and the sense of calm that drifts through the island of Menorca, all within a minimalist, contemplative space.”

Indira Anzola’s Styling Tips

• Let the natural elements lead
  Draw inspiration from the landscape and environment, such as the movement of the wind or the stillness of the sea, to inform your styling choices. Aim to create a space that feels connected to its surroundings rather than competing with them.

• Embrace earthy minimalism
  Stick to a warm, earthy palette such as sand, clay, and stone to create a grounded, serene atmosphere. Avoid overcomplicating with too many colours; restraint adds to the sense of calm.

• Choose one sculptural floral element
  Instead of using a variety of blooms, opt for a single, striking variety like the chocolate and tequila-toned anthurium. Use it sparingly to create contrast and intrigue without overpowering the table.

• Use texture as a design element
  Incorporate texture through layered textiles, raw ceramics, and natural stone. Handcrafted details add depth and a sense of place, while draped fabrics can echo the movement of wind and lend softness to structured spaces.

• Create a dialogue between light and shadow
  Think about how natural light will move through your space throughout the day. Use sheer curtains, iron pin frogs, and other elements that cast shadows to add a sense of theatre and intimacy.

• Consider spaces that invite quiet
  This look suits open, windswept spaces with minimal visual noise, such as coastal cliffs, remote islands, or pared-back architectural settings. Avoid overly ornate venues where the beauty of minimal details might get lost.

• Design with intention and stillness in mind
  Every object should feel considered and placed with purpose. Whether it’s a raw-edge ceramic or a fluid table drape, let each element contribute to a sense of contemplative stillness. Don’t be afraid to leave space; emptiness can be just as powerful as decoration.

“We designed a 40-metre cascade of tulle, weightless, endless, creating the illusion of falling water.”
