Article source: Annvil A modern and professional `SPOT studios` is the first photo studio in Latvia, which has created a water studio. It`s located inside Panorama Plaza, multifunctional building complex. ‘Light’ is the starting point for the design concept, to connect the interior with the company’s branding concept. The interior emphasizes the presence of light in various forms. As the studio has no direct access to daylight, designer used different lighting and shapes – robust spotlights, tube lights, light bulb strings and daylight bulbs – to achieve a dynamic light flow.

The choice of the materials and furniture pieces used for the interior had to be considered carefully as each room in the studio needed a good solution to be functional, mobile and easily transformable.

This creates a bright and clean atmosphere. Stone white, milk white and shades of brilliant white all reflect the various color tones, creating a contemporary and bright space.

The central office desk has been designed from contrasting finishes- a metal frame combined with a leather imitation cover. Around the desk perimeter – a drop paper from Chenel.

Entrance area marked by the black arrows on a concrete floor. In the both sides of office desk are placed sofas from Blofield. Sofas design is similar to classic Chesterfield sofa design. But they are made of thick rubber and vinyl coating. Sofas are inflatable with air, and easy moved in the room.
