MKW supplied and installed casino quartz worktops for a project at Les Ambassadeurs in Mayfair, London. Our original 2018 project report records Caesarstone Bianco Drift surfaces for the rooms, including tops for TV cabinets. Ogee edge profiles helped connect the stone details with the building’s classic interior.
This case study brings those project details together and explains the choices a commercial client should review. It preserves the original installation record. However, current material options and project requirements need a fresh specification.

Project overview
- Location: Les Ambassadeurs, Mayfair, London.
- Reported material: Caesarstone Bianco Drift quartz.
- Reported scope: stone work surfaces and TV cabinet tops in the rooms.
- Edge detail: ogee profiles to suit the classic interior.
- Archive: project first reported by MKW in April 2018.
Why the surface and edge needed to work together
The original brief called for a finish that suited the rooms and the character of the private club. Therefore, the material choice was only part of the design. The exposed edges also needed to relate to the surrounding furniture.
For example, an ogee profile adds a shaped line to the edge of the surface. In this project, the client selected it to support a classic look. By contrast, a simple straight edge would create a quieter, more modern detail.

Caesarstone Bianco Drift in the original scheme
In particular, the report identifies Caesarstone Bianco Drift, also referenced as 6131. Its light, patterned appearance gave the rooms a stone-inspired finish. Also, using the same named material across related pieces helped create a consistent scheme.
However, for a new order, view a current sample and confirm the exact product. An older project name does not establish today’s stock, formula or finish. Likewise, photographs may not show the full slab pattern or the colour under your room’s lighting.

Planning casino quartz worktops and furniture tops
A commercial surface plan needs clear scope. First, identify each top, edge and visible end. Then agree how the stone meets the cabinets, walls and nearby fittings.
Also, confirm the layout before templating. Cut-outs, support and access affect both manufacture and fitting. A detailed drawing helps the client, designer and fabricator work from the same information.
- List every surface and its intended use.
- Agree edge profiles and visible joint positions.
- Check cabinet support and fixing details.
- Confirm delivery routes and the installation sequence.
- Provide care instructions for the team that will clean the surfaces.
Care, performance and ongoing use
A quartz surface still needs care, even in a well-planned scheme. Follow the maker’s instructions for the exact product and finish. Also, protect exposed edges from impacts and avoid unapproved cleaning treatments.
Also, discuss expected use with the supplier before choosing a material. A room top, bar counter and food preparation surface may have different needs. Therefore, a successful past project should inform the discussion rather than replace a project-specific assessment.

Frequently asked questions
What material did MKW report using at Les Ambassadeurs?
The original report names Caesarstone Bianco Drift quartz for work surfaces and TV cabinet tops in the rooms.
Why did the client choose ogee edges?
The report links the shaped edge to the classic character of the interior. However, a new project should compare profiles against its own design and practical needs.
Can the same material be specified for a new commercial project?
Ask MKW to check current supply and suitability for the intended use. Confirm the product, finish, scope and care requirements before ordering.
