Following on from my post last month – sometimes simple design is the best solution – here are some more shots from the interior design project in Hampshire that I featured. Again there can be a lot of careful planning and design work in advance to create the feeling of calm and simplicity in the […]
As we head into the summer we’re working on a range of live projects at different stages. There’s always such variety in our work as our clients are all so individual and in different places. The various work stages add to this mix… London In London we’re on site with the refurbishment of riverside […]
Elise Djo-Bourgeois (1894-1986) was a designer of decorative textiles, wallpapers and carpets. She was active during the inter-war period and designed for Maison Maurice Lauer, a brand that was later purchased by Pierre Frey in the 1990s.

Last week we posted our first instalment of highlights from this year’s Milan Furniture Fair. Many of the highlights I picked – while beautiful, elegant and inventive – were also fabulous fun. These joyous expressions of creativity in design might not always seem like they have a direct relationship with our homes and the environments […]
The Milan Furniture Fair, or rather Salone del Mobile, is probably the biggest and best furniture and design fair in the world. Taking place each April, product designers and furniture makers from around the world congregate in Milan for the design week. There’s a huge range on show each year – from the latest furniture […]
This year marks the centenary of the Bauhaus Design School. Founded by Walter Gropius in 1919, the school had a profound and lasting influence on design, architecture, and here I touch on a few highlights – the people and their design work. The school brought together art and architecture, creativity and construction. Pursuing this combined […]
We had a fantastic time last week at KBB Magazine’s annual Design Awards. Although we didn’t win our category of Bathroom Designer of the Year, we are still so proud to have been selected as one of just four finalists from across the UK for one of our London projects. It was a great evening […]
