Material boards, montage imagery, and early finish ideation are essential tools in our design process, helping us establish a project's visual DNA from the very beginning. These elements inform everything from spatial flow to tactile experience, and even the mood created by lighting and surface treatments. At LDL Studio, this early phase is where we align design intent with the client's brand identify and functional goals. This particular board was developed to guide the look and feel of Prandeo's dining area-ensuring the environment supported both the culinary program and the unique character of the space. For us, this phase is not just aesthetic-it's strategic, setting the tone for thoughtful, cohesive design.
