EMMA ROBSON
Commercially astute, solution orientated interior and product designer who supports designers and dealers to deliver better outcomes for their clients and navigate our fast-evolving industry.
“BE YOURSELF; EVERYONE ELSE IS ALREADY TAKEN.”
-OSCAR WILDE
I established MCONTRAST to comprehensively support designers and dealers in selecting ideal products for their projects. Through close collaboration with designers, we enhance their original design concepts. This leads to favorable client outcomes and substantial cost efficiencies without compromising design intent or product quality. Anticipating the evolving landscape of workplace environments, my role involves innovating new product designs for corporate spaces and hospitality, informed by trends like accelerated digitalization and sustainability and feedback from the A&D community.
I meticulously curated the MCONTRAST product range, merging forward-looking design with sustainable manufacturing practices to ensure commercial viability. Collaborating closely with production partners provides holistic insights into our products, from manufacturing to their application in the built environment. My daily responsibilities encompass sales growth, project management, and team leadership, prioritizing relationship-building for successful project delivery. Overseeing production processes ensures high standards, consistent lead times, and competitive pricing.
Driven by challenges, I am dedicated to finding solutions, with continual improvement and learning guiding my approach, despite often wishing for more time in the day.

I recently renovated my medical office and Emma was beyond phenomenal as a designer and MCONTRAST consultant. Emma has exquisite taste and is extremely detailed oriented. Most importantly, she would not rest until every single detail was 100% perfect. Her choices for Mcontrast pieces were ideal, and not only did she consider the space but also considered my clientele‘s characteristics when choosing the dimensions of the furniture. Highly recommend, A+++++.
