Dornbracht VAIA Architecture FROM PAST TO PRESENT p. R D C– 0 1 Inspired by the ideas of Rafael de Cárdenas. 05 Brick and Corian, smoked glass and moss, bog oak, marble and DARK PLATINUM MATT, cognac-coloured leather and purple carpeted floors: here traces of wear meet new gloss, curved arches meet monoliths rich in edges, nature meets architecture.
