BLACK materials

We spent a lot of time standing in tile warehouses, on the footpath outside stone yards or in paint shops with 64 samples of dark materials arranged in front of us and the words of Spinal Tap guitarist, Nigel Tufnel, ringing in our ears:

“…There’s something about this that’s so black, it’s like how much more black could this be? And the answer is none, none more black.”
