80S BBS L.A.
A PLACE TO LIVE
Los Angeles 2021
Residential
80s BBs is a social media formed and world wide web nurtured collective between 4 creatives in 4 different countries
This Los Angeles two floor pad in an existing former Downtown industrial building was our first collaboration and is meticulously design and shaped for three imaginary romantically involved individuals...
The space reflects their unique home life and love for aesthetic satisfaction. Bold colours mix with grit and grandeur, neon topped columns, curving glass block walls, and finally a stone clad bathroom
The bathroom was designed with the LA climate and ancient history in mind. Clad in colossal stone slabs, bespoke Basins and Shower made from cast cochineal dyed desert sandcrete + Venus for company...
Water is fed from a roof situated gravitational rain Chultún irrigation system providing for our bathroom and courtyard

BALLY AW20 Kaleidoscope
FASHION PRESENTATION
Milan 2019
As part of Bally’s autumn and winter collection launch 2019 we designed a presentation installation at the Bally showroom in Milan. We produced a multi scensory and choreographed experience with an otherwordly projected backdrop to present the clothing and accessory items which concluded into a truly immersive experience
The visitor journey ended in the round showroom foyer where kaleidoscopic scultpures acted as photo calls and product displays
Alexander S Sramek was commissioned by Kinmonth Monfreda to oversee the design delivery of the project from concept through to completion

THE MANZONI Tom Dixon
RESTAURANT & BAR
Milan 2018
280 sqm 200 covers
The Manzoni opened in conjunction with Milan Design Week in 2018 as the new Italian hub for Tom Dixon
Our brief was to combine a restaurant, bar, shop, showroom and event space for the brand which meant that the spatial requirements had to be flexible and interchangable in order to accomodate for the various spatial requirements
This was achieved primarily by a unique modular steel ceiling grid allowing for a AV/Lighting plug-and-play network throughout to accomodate near to any types of situations

A central granite wash basin matches dominates the double height WC lobby whilst two opposing floor to ceiling brass framed mirrors enlarges the space infinitely

Fine Jewels Exhibitiom
London 2020
Bringing their fine jewels sale to life, Sotheby’s invited collector JJ Martin, founder of La Double J, together with the creative studio Kinmonth Monfreda to curate the sale combining both luxury and art which would be presented in their New Bond Street Galleries
Taking inspiration from the extensive historical archive of Italian prints available to La Double J we dressed the interior of the St George Street Gallery in unique wallpaper
![3D JJ Doll]()
Inspired by the 1940s mannequin exhibition ‘Teatre De La Mode’ we 3D printed scaled mannequins in resin and reproduced selected La Double J clothing items to fit
The outcome was a miniature doll showcase of the brand’s current collection

THE COAL OFFICE Tom Dixon
RESTAURANT & BAR
London 2018
200 sqm 100 covers
The Coal Office was Tom Dixon’s new restaurant and bar stretching across three floors which was to become part of the brand’s new London head quarters in Kings Cross
The aesthetic of the new restaurant was developed and took cues from the history of the coal yard. Which inspired the use of functional and hard wearing materials

Through a collaboration with the Italian stone supplier TESTI GROUP we were able to produce designs and manufacture site specific and extraordinary custom architectural features and furniture using marble, granite and quartz
Other interior finishes included solid timber floors, unique steel integral design pieces and charred timber wall cladding
We designed unique corrugated raw aluminium panel cladding for the first floor. The space was dominated by a 4 meter long rock edge cut granite kitchen counter which was to be used for special events and cooking classes
