Purple,violet,indigo





A complimentary hand clap and 5 stars to Jestico + Whiles architects for the reception desk at the Hilton, Canary Wharf, London. Breaking the chains of the predictably horizontal by introducing a little bit of verticallity with these phials of amber.
The desk is apparently predominately honed stone and the effective golden glow high level signing counters constructed in coloured glass .
Get on the Docklands Light Railway or just read and learn more on this project at e-architect ,'The Hilton reuses the steel skeleton of the World Trade Centre, which was severely damaged in the Marsh Wall bombing in 1996'. Photography - James Morris.
