Architect: APA London

Alkalay & Mer have drawn on inspiration from their commission earlier in the year to design an installation for Design Miami/Basel 2009. After winning the Designers of the Future Award the design duo have collaborated with Established & Sons for a second time following on from the international success of Stack launched during Milan 2008.
Established & Sons LIMITED will house an innovative installation of oiled oak herringbone parquet brick flooring. Taking a time-honored floor type, Alkalay & Mer have developed the traditional finish by staining the individual bricks from a pallet of 15 different colours. By taking an everyday product and twisting the core element of it they have developed a very characteristic mosaic design.
