Design Research Studio's limited-edition series of Tom Dixon apartments and restaurant at Greenwich Peninsula, in Southeast London, adeptly executes the colorful trend with high-drama details and sleek modern lines. From quieter silhouettes to pops of metallic, the vivacious, modern vibe is full of energy and sophistication. We love the way even a single iridescent piece can instantly jettison a space into the future.
