FIONA BARRAT T-CAMPBELL
Award winning designer and entrepreneur, Fiona BarrattCampbell is recognised as one of Britain’s leading figures in the international world of interior design. Born and raised in Northumberland, England, Fiona draws on the history of the rugged landscape from which she was immersed growing up; shaped and influenced by its underlying geology laid down some 400 million years ago. Roman influence is a further stimulus, including Hadrian’s Wall and its archaeology; the most heavily fortified frontier in the Roman Empire. Design is embedded in Fiona’s DNA. Her chief mentor and greatest inspiration was her grandfather, property developer Sir Lawrie Barratt. Sir Barratt founded one of the largest residential property development companies in the UK in 1958, Barratt Homes, which has since inspired her to establish four very successful businesses. Fiona, now with 17 years’ experience in the industry, trained at London’s Chelsea College of Art followed by Parsons School of Design in New York. She went on to secure a position at a highly regarded interior design firm before launching her own successful interior design studio Fiona Barratt Interiors in 2006.

T
he finest materials, beautifully balanced design and cutting-edge creativity and innovation are the building blocks of any project, but the real art lies in blending each with fastidious skill and a unique passion. Our highly skilled team share an unswerving dedication to creating the world’s most beautiful interiors and our clients benefit from their obsession to strive for perfection.
Fiona’s silhouettes are bold and geometric and her finishes are intricate, with materials ranging from solid cast bronze and sandblasted wood to Brazilian fish skin. Her signature style blends sophisticated neutrals interlaced with bursts of accent colour, and although this more modern theme remains core to her interiors, she has been experimenting with antiques, particularly 20th century pieces. Her philosophy behind creating fluid and elegant spaces is born of an understanding of the aspirations of the client, the relevance of the location and maximization of the potential of the existing elements of the space. She develops these with imagination and vision. The result of this attention to detail is an interior that tells a story and most importantly an interior that reflects the client ’s individuality, ...to enhance, not dictate, the way they live.

FINISHES
Inspired by the legacy of history and the infinity of the natural world, the contrast between heavy and traditional, such as marble and bronze, and lighter materials, for example, glass, ensures pioneering, yet consistently timeless creations. Surfaces of antiques brass and chipped oak are made to reveal the basic nature of construction, revealing the texture of the cast bronze structures. Defined details, forcing the brave mix of finishes and texture, the experimentation of materials and textures run throughout each element of FBC London’s philosophy with a strong use of traditionally cast metals.

PRODUCTION
Although Roman furniture designs were complex, they employed the basic vocabulary of ornament. In a similar fashion, Fiona employs a myriad of textures and technologies but embellishes these intricate designs with the natural wilds of Northumberland. True to FBC London’s creative process, the combination of these traditional and modern techniques, the manufacturing of the furniture is developed working with variety of selected artisans and craftsmen based, mainly, in the Northeast of the UK.

Showcasing post-industrial references the Metallum range is characterised by its prominent grain detailing, large scale metal hardware and strong textures.
Every detail, from handles to hinges, carefully considered with industrial-luxe provenance. Sleek, slick edges, lustrous elements based on urban locality, such as nickel and brushed stainless steel, are juxtaposed with natural, exposed timbers to create a modern and collaborative space.
COLLECTIONS TERRA Harmony, symmetry, airiness, space and light are proud combinations for the Terra kitchen with influences from European architects drawing inspiration from the classical British style. The kitchen radiates around the central island and imposes every dimension of itself. Cooking is demonstrated as a creative act, an act of conveyance and sharing. Echoing a relaxed environment with an earthy materiality at its core, the Terra concept combines paired back design elements with open storage and glass cabinetry inset with natural linen. Cooking appliances have a more traditional feel in the use of large industrial style and multifunctional ranges.
Interlinking, crossing and connecting cultures through a handcrafted, artisanal movement.
