Inhabit

EF Contract Neocon Showroom 2019

EF Contract’s new products and showroom were inspired by the layers of the city.

“Driven by the people who call it home and visitors alike, the city never sleeps—its layers, new and old, molded by the institutions, the artists, and the innovators. We’re charmed by the city’s grit, that on second glance is beauty.
It’s the taste of a craft brew, the song of a guitar that echoes from a local stage, the peeling posters lining the walls of an alleyway. This is what inspired us to step back and realize—how it’s the collective people inhabiting each city, adding these elements day by day, that slowly build a city’s unique texture, layer upon layer.”

Collaborating with EF Contract’s Susan Curtis, Widgets & Stone designed a simple and striking showroom.
