– it really does! It should be your sanctuary, somewhere that inspires and delights, where you can feel completely relaxed. As we find ourselves on the brink of a new season, it seems a pertinent time to compare the whirling worlds of fashion and interiors. When I consider what I want to wear on a daily basis, I’m often plagued with anxiety, whereas choosing pieces and schemes for my home fills me with nothing but joy. Contemplating this fact, I’m struck by the wise words of New York-based writer Kate Bolick: ‘When you’re insecure about your appearance, trying to make yourself look better is a fraught endeavour. However, the home is a blank canvas, or empty vessel – a place where the will toward beauty can be expressed unchecked, without the messy complications of the self.’ It’s an astute observation and, with it in mind, I hope you’ll find that this month’s comprehensive decorating section – with the latest fabrics, wallpapers and paints, alongside inspiring ideas – will give you real opportunity to express beauty unchecked in your own individual way. Embrace vibrant colour, pattern and texture in the space that stands for who you are and what home means to you. Of course, in the context of this issue, ‘home’ also refers to our annual celebration of all things British, which sees us championing a roster of UK-based talents new and old, all of whom, in my opinion, truly represent the breadth and diversity that makes our nation’s design, style and substance so very unique and utterly wonderful. Plus, the beautiful houses featured this month (bar one stunning architectural bolthole in Scotland) can all be found in London, the city I call home.

BETHAN GR AY X ANTHROPOLOGIE

WORDS: PIP MCCORMAC PICTURE: CIRCE HAMILTON

As she launches her ﬁrst line of furniture for the high-street retailer, Gray discusses ﬁnding inspiration in the UK’s beaches, parks and her son’s collection of shells

Top ‘Feather’ rug, from £598, Anthropologie (anthropologie.com) Above Bethan Gray sits on the ‘Feather’ chair, £698, Anthropologie (anthropologie.com)

Bethan, how do you want people to feel when they see your designs? I always want them to be comfortable, for there to be an element of cosiness to everything I do. You know what it’s like when people come to your house – you want them to feel at home, and not like they can’t touch anything. That’s the mood I’m always trying to achieve. And what is it about your work that creates such a feeling? I have a colour palette that I tend to stick to – teals and jades, golds and coppers, soft greys and even softer pinks. It’s all very harmonious, taking its lead from shades that exist in nature, such as stones and woods – the things you would see when you’re taking a walk in the park. Is nature a big influence for you? It really is. I have a four-year-old son who loves being outside and is a real hoarder. He collects shells, pebbles, whatever he can find. The feather shapes seen in the design of the chairs and cabinets in my new range for Anthropologie were inspired by him. I’m also influenced by the British craft movement, and enjoy using traditional techniques to tell cultural stories. Anthropologie is an American brand, founded in Wayne, Pennsylvania, so I started by researching indigenous American cultures and was drawn to the ancient patterns and motifs created by Ancestral and Acoma Puebloans. They are so bold and graphic – I thought they were beautiful, and I knew that a modern reinterpretation would be just perfect. How connected are you to craft in the UK? I’ve just been made a fellow of Cardif Metropolitan University and it was such a huge honour, especially seeing as it’s in my home city. They really nurture craftsmanship there and I’ve been seeing a revival of certain skills around ceramics and textiles coming out of their undergraduate courses. And what do you make of the British design scene as a whole right now? It’s such a supportive and nurturing industry, and I feel so lucky to have been helped by so many people over the years. My days working for Habitat were great – I was one of a whole tribe of talented designers, so many of whom have gone on to do amazing things. There is definitely a Britishness to my work – the ‘Stud’ table in my first collection was inspired by Welsh cricket tables – but what’s great about London is how multicultural it is. I’ve always been open to meeting people from other cultures – being a Welsh speaker means you’re used to smaller communities – and that melting-pot element to the UK is what makes British design so fresh and exciting. bethangray.com Turn the page to see more of the collection

SUZY HOODLESS This tastemaker’s eponymous studio is a ﬁrm favourite with lovers of luxurious, contemporary British design

‘MY CLIENTS ALWAYS HAVE AN AESTHETIC VISION, BUT EQUALLY IMPORTANT IS HOW THEY WANT TO FEEL’

WORDS: BECKY SUNHSHINE PICTURE: JAMES TURNER

Suzy Hoodless takes practicality seriously. Having opened her studio in 2000 and gone on to design homes, private members’ clubs, restaurants, oices and hotels around the world, her style may be subtly luxurious and contemporary, but through a perfect blend of classic and vintage furniture, colour and pattern, it’s comfort that remains key. ‘My clients always have an aesthetic vision, but equally important is how they want to feel,’ says Hoodless, who works out of her Notting Hill studio. ‘If it looks great, but it’s not comfortable or it doesn’t work properly, it’s a fail – form and function go hand in hand.’ The designer’s inspiration often comes from the architecture of buildings. She recently worked on the new development at the former BBC Television Centre in White City, designing many of the communal areas as well as its private apartments (below). For the prestigious project, she commissioned carpet specialists Vanderhurd to design textiles based on the photography of Lee Mawdsley, who documented the 1950s site before renovations began – the iconic Atomic Dots that adorned the building are recreated on a rug, while a satellite dish motif is woven into a wallhanging. It looks as though the next year will be a busy one for Hoodless. She’s currently working on her ﬁrst ceramics – due to launch in January 2019 – as well as designing the second London branch of the women’s members’ club The AllBright, which opens in 2019. Plus, she’s joining forces with Vanderhurd once again to display the wallhangings and rugs created for the Television Centre project in her studio during the London Design Festival – the pieces are made to order and available to buy from either brand (from £1,135 for a wallhanging; from £805 for a rug). suzyhoodless.com; vanderhurd.com

ESTABLISHED & SONS With former co-founder Sebastian Wrong back at the helm, this British brand is creating a new identity, focusing on craftsmanship and originality Earlier this year, just as the design industry was wondering whether the 13-year-old furniture brand Established & Sons had had its day, it unveiled a new collection – its first in four years. The firm’s trio of enthusiastic new owners have kept things simple, including just two lights, two sofas and a chair. Each piece’s design is subtle, restrained, elegant and considered. Once known for its bold and bombastic approach to creating experimental, often high-end pieces, which attracted big-name designers such as Terence Woodgate, Zaha Hadid and Barber & Osgerby, as well as ofering a platform to emerging talents such as Jaime Hayón and Raw Edges, Established & Sons has taken stock and adopted a more cautious path. Gone is the over-spending on slick branding and big, extravagant parties – there’s now a focus on commercially viable products at more afordable prices. What remain exactly the same, however, are the brand’s core values: fine

craftsmanship, beautiful materials, cutting-edge manufacturing processes and, of course, truly original design. The company’s notable change of direction is largely down to one of Established & Sons co-founders, Sebastian Wrong, who, having left in 2012 to head up Danish brand Hay, is now back at the helm as design director. Armed with a new wealth of business experience, as well as a heartfelt conﬁdence in the company, Wrong quite rightly predicts a bright future. ‘Established & Sons did a remarkable thing in a short space of time, which everyone in the industry respected,’ Wrong explains. ‘We were very creative and free-spirited. We brought energy to what we were doing. At the end of the day, though, it comes down to the products. We are in the business of making and selling products, so you have to strip things back and get sensible.’ This new, sensible outlook not only means safeguarding the company’s impressive back catalogue of more than 200 pieces from 50 designers, but also carefully adding to it. Recent designs include the 1980s-feel ‘Barbican’ chaise longue by Konstantin Grcic, the pared-back ‘Cassette’ sofa by the Bouroullec brothers, ‘Mauro’, a timber chair designed in the 1970s by the now 87-yearold designer Mauro Pasquinelli, and the ‘Filigrana’ Murano glass pendant lights (below) by Wrong himself, while newcomer Dimitri Bähler has created ‘Light Light’ ﬂoor lamps with washi paper shades. All in all, it’s a positive fresh start. establishedandsons.com Turn the page to see all products mentioned

HIGH-STREET HIT

SHRIMPS X HABITAT Hannah Weiland, founder of Shrimps – the fashion brand loved for its vibrant colours, faux fur and zany prints – has dug into her design archives to produce a homeware collection for Habitat, which launches this month ‘It’s the first time Habitat has ever used gold thread in a carpet!’ Weiland is talking about the ‘Doodle’ rug (right, £450), her favourite piece from her inaugural interiors collection. Hand-tufted with her depictions of fairytale objects and cosmic animals, then hand-carved to make each creature three-dimensional, it is undoubtedly a showstopper. ‘A spotty horse, a unicorn, a crown, a ring of roses and a moon with stars falling out of it... they’re all things that appear in my dreams,’ she explains. The homeware range – which comprises cushions, bedlinen, faux fur throws, rugs and framed prints – features motifs lifted from Shrimps’ first five years of collections, which have always been about mixing bold patterns and witty, of-kilter illustrations with rich fabrics and sustainable materials. It was a natural decision, then, for Weiland’s Habitat collection to focus on soft furnishings. Prawn-pink prevails on the colour-scheme front, but there are pieces that will suit most design tastes, from the subtly checked ‘Viola’ cushion (£60) to a striped faux-fur throw named ‘Bridget Breton’ (£295) which,

WORDS: CHARLOTTE BROOK

SHRIMPS’ DESIGNS MIX BOLD PATTERNS AND WITTY, OFF-KILTER ILLUSTRATIONS WITH RICH FABRICS AND SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS as Weiland observes, would ‘add a bit of eccentric luxe’ to a bedroom. The collaboration makes sense to both brands: with their pufs, frills, beading and voluminous shapes, Shrimps’ clothes are as much sculpture as garment, and Weiland often trawls online furniture store 1st Dibs for inspiration for her fashion designs. Plus, she’s ‘a real home person’ – the walls of her Notting Hill house are painted in sherbet shades to create a backdrop for brighter furnishings, which include a leopard-print chair, an old Marni rug and scalloped lampshades by the designer Matilda Goad. To the same efect, she used pearly pink as the background for a lot of the Habitat pieces, which balances the vivid illustrations. As the owner of a small, independent British brand, Weiland leapt at the chance to collaborate with Habitat, a high-street retailer that she herself has shopped at for years. ‘It’s been a joy,’ she says. ‘It’s great to bring Shrimps’ designs out at an afordable price point, and it was a nice surprise to ﬁnd that such a big company still gets so many of its products made by hand.’ Indeed, Weiland’s ‘Faces’ dhurrie rug (£70) is handwoven in India, while her ‘Dory’ and ‘Doodle’ cushions (£70 each) are embroidered using a rare couch-stitch technique. The collection’s highlight? For the decidedly maximalist customer, it has to be the high-vis, hot pink ‘Venezia’ bedlinen set, onto which Weiland’s watercolour paintings of scenes of Venice, the City of Light – ‘from a romantic trip there last year’ – have been digitally printed. The cheerful pattern features churches, ﬂoating dogs and Venetian jesters. ‘It’s completely mad,’ laughs Weiland. ‘Obviously.’ habitat.co.uk

THE DESIGNER TRIO

OCHRE’S LEADING LIGHTS The founders of the British brand renowned for its breathtaking lighting installations and artful furniture reﬂect on its unique and enduring aesthetic

WORDS: FIONA MCCARTHY

EACH OF OCHRE’S PIECES BEAUTIFULLY BALANCES ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT WITH EVERYDAY FUNCTIONALITY

‘Working with the beauty and imperfections of natural materials has always run through what we do,’ says Harriet Maxwell Macdonald, one third of the team behind sophisticated design brand Ochre. She started the company in 1996 with fellow art school graduate Joanna Bibby – four years later, they were joined by Solenne de la Fouchardière. Revelling in the tactility of hand-forged bronze, sensuous nubuck leather, rough-woven linen and the grainy richness of woods such as oak, Ochre has consistently pushed the boundaries of design, marrying traditional artisan craftsmanship with the ‘barest of clean lines’, says de la Fouchardière. It’s this aesthetic for which the brand has become renowned. ‘It’s about appreciating the quality of how something is made,’ says Bibby. ‘We use materials that feel as though they’ve already had a life of their own in a slightly more unusual way.’ This might mean wrapping a ‘Sungaya’ lamp stand or ‘Sable’ chair entirely in hand-stitched, naturally dyed leather, fashioning an ‘Oasis’ rug from a myriad diferently sized veined-stone discs, or forging the base of a ‘Willow’ table from granite, with polished plaster on top. ‘The key is never to work with too many materials in one piece,’ explains Bibby. ‘Each component needs room to speak for itself and to breathe.’

THE BRIT LIST

Nowhere are these materials more magically brought to life than in Ochre’s vast range of lighting installations, from the raindrop efect created by the hundreds of LED-illuminated glass buds encased in rough cast-bronze hung in the ‘Seed Cloud’ chandelier to the way in which the mass of glass droplets in ‘Moonlight Murmuration’ imitate the swooping, swirling shapes and patterns created when a flock of starlings takes flight. It’s this spectacular innovation that iconic gallerist Rossana Orlandi calls ‘brava’ (clever), and why she invites Ochre to Salone del Mobile in Milan every year to display its new collections. During this month’s London Design Festival, Ochre will showcase its most recent design, the jellyfish-like ‘Medusa Bloom’ – each organic glass bubble on the installation has been handblown with a subtle shade of grey pigment at its heart. As well as this, more new pieces are on display at the brand’s showrooms in London and New York, most notably the ‘Gaia’ pendant (above, £4,752), which is reminiscent of an Alexander Calder mobile – a large, solid illuminated glass droplet balances at one end, a blackened nickel weight at the other. Today, the Ochre trio’s design process is as organic as when they first started working together just over 20 years ago: sometimes inspired by their own personal needs, but more often by the discovery of a new material or technique. The result is an impressive catalogue of lighting, furniture and accessories, with each piece beautifully balancing artistic temperament and everyday functionality. ‘We’re just following our hearts,’ explains Bibby. ‘When we’re designing together, we come from diferent angles, yet we always end up with something that we all love.’ ochre.net

WORDS: FIONA MCCARTHY PICTURE: DOMINIC BLACKMORE

In 1976, inspired by the ‘magical scene setting’ at Barbara Hulanicki’s Biba department store on London’s Kensington High Street, Martin Waller (right) co-founded Andrew Martin with his former business partner Andrew Gillespie (hence the brand’s name). Since then, it has become Britain’s one-stop shop for brilliantly bonkers, unique design. ‘I have very few rules,’ explains Waller. ‘Our look has always been about taking everything from everywhere and putting it all together.’ The pops of colour, patterns and patinas synonymous with Andrew Martin’s wares – now sold in 63 countries – owe everything to Waller’s love for travel and ‘capturing the spirit of diferent cultures from around the world’. In the brand’s London flagship store, he thinks nothing of mixing antiquities, such as African masks, wooden model windmills picked up on his adventures to countries as far afield as Siberia and Guatemala, Indian headdresses and Mayan and Mexican printed cushions. This artful curation of unusual pieces means that the experience of visiting an Andrew Martin store is akin to spending time in a gallery – design fans flock there to get lost in a vivid riot of colour and pattern, often stumbling across quirky finds, such as a rotating barber’s pole or a life-size resin cow. Today, Waller is constantly called on to source pieces for film sets – his portfolio includes the Harry Potter and James Bond movies – and to work on projects as diverse as private homes in Mumbai and hotels in Marbella and Latvia. His passion for design also led to the establishment of Andrew Martin’s annual International Designer of the Year award in 1996. ‘I felt that interior design wasn’t being given its due,’ says Waller. Now, the award is the design world’s hottest ticket, propelling the careers of its past recipients – including Tara Bernerd, Axel Vervoordt and Rose Uniacke – into the stratosphere. Waller’s playful, irreverent charm is an important driving force behind the brand. ‘Creatively, I never really grew beyond the age of 12,’ he laughs. ‘If I liked something when I was that age, I still like it now.’ He’s a firm believer that design is about having fun. ‘Decoration is an important building block of happiness – I hope what we do helps to make people feel happy and comfortable in their homes, and therefore in themselves,’ he enthuses. ‘It’s about enjoying the beauty in the things we love.’ andrewmartin.co.uk

8 HOLLAND STREET London’s latest destination for art lovers and interiors enthusiasts alike was born out of its co-founders’ joint passion for all things beautifully designed

WORDS: CLAUDIA BAILLIE PICTURES: LOUISE LONG, JAMES MACDONALD

‘WE DISCOVERED A MUTUAL APPRECIATION FOR THE FINE, THE FOUND AND COLLECTABLE ARTWORK’

‘We both wanted to open a space that wasn’t intimidating – that didn’t just sell a particular genre of art, or antique furniture from a specific period,’ explains Tobias Vernon, co-founder of 8 Holland Street, the new gallery and design store in London’s Kensington. ‘Somewhere all kinds of work could sit together without any hierarchy.’ Together with fine art curator Rowena MorganCox, Vernon launched the space in March, with the pair drawing inspiration from Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, the Eames House in Los Angeles and Peggy Guggenheim’s home in Venice. ‘The aim was to create a relaxed environment, where people can wander, sit and discover,’ says Vernon. Both are former History of Art students – Morgan-Cox completed an MA at the Courtauld Institute before working at galleries including The Fine Art Society, where she became a director, while Vernon made a foray into art buying and interior design – and, when they met through a friend, they discovered a mutual appreciation for ‘the fine, the found and collectable artwork’. Stock is sourced from all over Europe and everything is for sale, from pieces by Alan Davie and Elisabeth Frink to stylish recycled Mexican glassware (from just £12) and fine Murano glass tumblers by Campbell Rey. 20th-century Italian and French furniture also features heavily, as do antique Swedish textiles and studio ceramics. ‘We also showcase contemporary artists, such OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 65

NEW BRAND

MAKER & SON

WORDS: BECKY SUNSHINE

You may not have heard of this family-run furniture brand yet, but it’s sure to become a favourite, thanks to its commitment to achieving the highest levels of comfort and belief in using only natural materials

Tucked away in the leafy Sussex countryside, the next branch of Britain’s most famous design family tree is putting down roots. For it’s here that Alex Willcox, former buying director for The Conran Shop, has launched the furniture brand Maker & Son, his son being the product designer Felix Conran, grandson of the great Sir Terence. Every piece in its ‘Song’ range, which so far comprises a generouslyproportioned sofa (£3,995), armchair (£2,495) and footstool (£995) – a bed follows later this year – is handmade from natural materials and features hardwood frames, wool and cotton padding, natural latex, ethically sourced feathers and jute webbing, while covers are made from machine-washable linen cotton or cotton velvet. The brand’s intention is to ofer ‘the highest quality craftsmanship together with the latest in digital technology,’ explains Conran, adding that its online store boasts an augmented reality app that enables customers to envisage the furniture in their own homes. Making the company’s products 100 per cent natural is also of huge ‘HAVING importance to both father and A NATURAL son. ‘What future is there for any of us crafting or buying pieces PRODUCT IS made from plastic-based foam?’ A KEYSTONE asks Willcox. ‘It’s a sad fact that virtually every piece of upholstered OF MAKER furniture made across the world & SON, IT IS right now (whatever price you pay) is made with plastic-based THE FUTURE’ foams. All of our furniture is made to order, with lead times of four weeks. Having a natural product is a keystone of Maker & Son. There’s no other way to consider the future than to make products that will last at least one lifetime.’ Another mission of Maker & Son is to create extreme comfort. ‘To us, that’s everything,’ explains Willcox. ‘Not just physical comfort, but also achieving a level of relaxation that is so complete you feel as though your mind clears within seconds of sitting down. Imagine sitting in a bed made of pillows.’ Conran sums up: ‘You sit “in” our furniture, you don’t sit “on” it.’ Sounds dreamy. makerandson.com

Global fashion brand H&M has long been known for its stylish and savvy partnerships. To date, its list of past collaborators reads like a who’s-who of high-end design that’s seen the company teaming up with names as well-respected as Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Versace. Lately, though, the high-street powerhouse has cast its creative net beyond the fashion world, looking to the home as its new source of inspiration. After this summer’s capsule collection with fabric and wallpaper brand GP & J Baker, H&M has scoured the vast archive of another icon of British interiors. In, early October, it will celebrate the launch of its extensive collaboration with Morris & Co, the quintessentially British company ‘THE MORRIS & CO founded in 1861 by William Morris, one of the most inﬂuential designers PRINTS ARE SOME OF of the Arts & Crafts movement.

BURLEIGH The historic Stafordshire pottery known for its quintessentially English take on pattern

The ‘Black Willow’ collection by Burleigh, from £9 for a tea saucer

Sit down for afternoon tea at Dean Street Townhouse, one of Soho House & Co’s London restaurants, and your repast will be served on pretty, black-and-white floral china: the ‘Calico’ and ‘Felicity’ patterns, both classics by Burleigh. This Stafordshire pottery dates back to 1851, and its production methods have remained almost the same since. Every design is made largely by hand, with machines used only when necessary – it takes the skills of 25 diferent craftspeople to create a single piece. Now owned by Denby – another Stafordshire pottery with a long history – Burleigh was originally known as Hulme and Booth. In 1862, it was taken over by William Leigh and Frederick Rathbone Burgess, who amalgamated their surnames to create a new brand name. The classic look that Burleigh is known for today is the result of a gradual process of accretion: in 1868, it took over the firm of Alcock & Co, acquiring both its moulds and its logo: a beehive. In 1886, it bought the 18th-century John Davenport business, adding yet more patterns and shapes to its archive. In this way, says the brand’s creative director Steven Moore, ‘Burleigh became a flag-bearer for British ceramic history and tradition without even knowing it.’ ➤ OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 73

THE BRIT LIST

Fans of Burleigh – of which there are many, from the Royal Family to Ralph Lauren, who chose Burleigh ceramics to be used in his cofee shops – don’t buy it for novelty’s sake. Its patterns are conservative in the best possible sense, with designs such as ‘Blue Burgess Chintz’ and ‘Black Willow’ blending English country-garden ﬂorals and traditional oriental style (in 1913, Queen Mary became so besotted with ‘Black Regal Peacock’ that she made an informal visit to Harrods in pursuit of the tableware). ‘Evolution, not revolution, is the Burleigh way,’ explains Moore. ‘Our best-selling pattern, “Asiatic Pheasants”, has held the top spot since 1862, and people love it because it’s a moment of calm in a busy modern world. If you have some Burleigh china of your grandmother’s, you can add to it today because it’s still made in the same way. You can’t do that with any other brand.’ Burleigh still occupies Middleport Pottery, which it built on the bank of the Trent and Mersey canal in 1889, and whose ‘free ﬂow’ production line, with one workshop dovetailing into the next, was groundbreaking at the time. The original machinery is still in use, as is the 300-year-old technique of underglaze tissuetransfer printing that’s used on all Burleigh wares. This craft,

‘IF YOU HAVE BURLEIGH CHINA OF YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S, YOU CAN ADD TO IT TODAY BECAUSE IT’S STILL MADE IN THE SAME WAY’ which takes five years to master, involves engraving patterns onto copper rollers, which are then printed onto tissue-thin paper and applied by hand to each vessel. ‘It has to be done right the first time – there are no second chances – and it has the added benefit of being microwave and dishwasher safe, even though it was invented long before such appliances,’ says Moore. Burleigh is the last pottery in the world to use this method, which, says Moore, results in patterns of ‘matchless subtlety and depth’. Recent product launches include a ‘Calico’ mug collection in new colours to mark the design’s 50th anniversary, one of which is ‘Calico Mulberry’, a new colourway for Harrods. There’s also a new version of the ‘Hibiscus’ print for London hotel The Ned (available at sohohome.com), made using an archive pattern in an exclusive ‘banker green’ colour inspired by the hotel building, a former bank (all Burleigh china is decorated using natural earth pigments, some of which are costlier than gold). Coming soon is ‘Highgrove Orchard’, a design created in collaboration with artist Sam Wilson especially for the Prince of Wales’ estate. HRH The Prince’s Regeneration Trust donated £9 million to the Middleport Pottery in 2011 to facilitate emergency repairs and to keep production going.

SIR JOHN SORRELL CBE An arbiter of taste reveals their cultural inspirations, from musical awakenings to favourite exhibitions A pillar of Britain’s design community, John Sorrell CBE is best known for cofounding the London Design Festival. The proliﬁc graphic designer, entrepreneur and philanthropist ran branding agency Newell and Sorrell with his wife Frances for 25 years. Since then, the couple have focused on the creative sector as a whole, launching The Sorrell Foundation in 1999, followed by The Saturday Club Trust, both charities that focus on promoting arts education. Sorrell has chaired the Design Council, served as UK Business Ambassador, is a Trustee of the V&A and an advisor to the Mayor of London on Brexit and its potential impact on the capital’s many creative industries. 2018’s London Design Festival takes place this month (see p251 for our guide), as does the second Design Biennale, a coinciding showdown over at Somerset House (4–23 September; somersethouse.org.uk).

I had become fed up with people asking me, ‘What is the definition of design?’, so gathered fifty answers from diferent people. Frances’ definition? ‘Hard work.’ My ultimate museum has to be the V&A (5), and my favourite object on display there is the world’s first 3D-printed gun. It provokes strong reactions and makes people think. If I could choose another museum, it would be MoMA in New York. The last exhibition I saw was ‘The National Saturday Club Summer Show’ at Somerset House, which showcased the work of the 1,500 13–16 year olds who attended free Saturday morning classes at their local university, college or museum. The young people’s work is brilliant. If I won the lottery, the work of art I would buy would be by either Jackson Pollock, Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach, Robert Rauschenberg or Jasper Johns – such as Targets and Flags (1968) (2). The next place I’m travelling to is Cornwall (1). I enjoy exploring museums and discovering streets, but in Cornwall, Frances and I will have a little break and see family. It will be completely relaxing.

Curly leaves and spry ﬂowers are synonymous with William Morris’s iconic patterns. This month, explore his relationship with the land

Textile designer William Morris believed that rather than creating a natural wilderness at home, one’s garden should be fenced, ‘orderly and rich’. This month, an exhibition opens at the William Morris Gallery in Walthamstow, east London, for which curators have cherrypicked 90 sumptuous depictions of British gardens. And just as enticing is the splendid Georgian villa, buttressed by two softly curved brick turrets, in which they’re displayed, the Morris family home from 1848 to 1856. The show, ‘The Enchanted Garden’ (20 October–27 January 2019; wmgallery.co.uk), celebrates the afection in which 20th-century artists held the domestic garden. From Monet to Beatrix Potter’s illustrations of the Flopsy Bunnies in the lettuce patch and Bloomsbury Group member Duncan Grant’s 1929 painting of the view out to the garden from Charleston House, it’s a blend of charmingly rural styles. To put yourself in Morris’s gardening shoes, do check out the gallery’s own plot. And, after admiring the painting by his daughter, May Morris, of the view of Kelmscott Manor featured in the exhibition, why not head of to explore the subject itself? The family’s 16th-century

summer home in the picturesque Cotswolds, surrounded by a dovecote, meadow, stream and lawns, has recently been lovingly restored. The enchanting site, in a village that Morris once described as ‘heaven on earth’, is open to the public on Wednesdays and Sundays until 29 October (kelmscott.org.uk). There’s more Morris-related gardenalia in Kent, at the Red House – the Tudor Gothicinspired home built for the Morris clan in 1860, which is open to visitors all year round. Morris created its compartmentalised medieval-style garden ‘to clothe the house’, and it, in turn, inﬂuenced his ﬁrst wallpaper design, ‘Trellis’, in 1862. The grounds are currently being restored to their former glory by head gardener Robert Smith and team (nationaltrust.org). Finally, if you’d like to create an Arts & Crafts patch in your own back yard, what to grow? For a mini orchard inspired by the Red House, go for honeysuckle, fruit trees and lavender; or for an ode to Kelmscott and the patterns its horticulture inspired, plant strawberries, willow, hollyhocks and English roses, such as the ‘Sir Edward Elgar’ – all available from the Royal Horticultural Society (rhsplants.co.uk).

His words were prophetic, and the commissions poured in. One, from the Metropolitan Museum in New York, was for a 20-metre-long conference table with neoclassical column legs. With some customers ordering almost an entire home’s worth of Linley designs, it seemed only natural to launch Linley Interior Design. Some projects, such as the 2013 Art Deco-inspired ‘Map Room’ at Claridge’s in London, have involved creating interiors that evoke a certain time period. Others, such as the 2016 design for a resident’s lounge in the Battersea Power Station development, and a private home in Oslo (above), have moved the brand into a more contemporary design period. With yacht interiors, car designs and countless kitchen projects under its belt, and a creative team comprising over thirty members, Linley’s recent purchase of renowned architectural interiors company Keech Green indicates that the company will continue to expand its reach into the interiors world. As Linley has deftly proved over the past three decades, no matter how much further the brand grows or expands, its core commitment to extraordinary craftsmanship is what will maintain its rightful place in the British design pantheon for years to come. davidlinley.com

With founder David Linley’s royal background, it’s easy to see how his eponymous brand is known for creating furnishings fit for kings. The son of Princess Margaret and photographer Lord Snowdon, Linley’s early passion for arts and crafts was heartily encouraged both at home at Kensington Palace and in his father’s studio. In fact, his grandmother, the Queen Mother, was known to proudly pass one of his early creations from school, a handmade wooden cigar humidor, around at parties. He studied Carpentry and Design at Parnham House under John Makepeace, one of Britain’s finest furniture designers, and set up his own carpentry workshop above a chip shop in Dorking after graduating in 1982. Three years later, he upgraded to the King’s Road in London, launching his own brand and shop, David Linley & Co, and in 1993, the rapidly growing company moved into its current showroom on Pimlico Road. From the beginning, Linley’s designs have been known for their truly fine craftsmanship, with painstakingly detailed marquetry in a mix of exquisite woods, such as Macassar ebony, anigre, walnut and satinwood. In addition to the intricate inlay patterns, the brand’s desks, tables, screens and panels feature playful touches, such as cleverly hidden drawers and compartments.

DUNCAN COTTAGE JAMES GRAYLEY ARCHITECTS

RED HOUSE 31/44 ARCHITECTS Few architects would choose bright red for a building’s exterior, but 31/ 44 Architects is bold enough to make it work. The practice has produced an exquisitely crafted home that elegantly complements its neighbouring yellow and red brick homes. Responding to its awkward site on the end of a terrace, the ﬁrm has carved the space into a series of intimately-angled rooms, dotted with glazed courtyards. The exterior’s statement hue is echoed inside, with pigmented concrete walls (3144architects.com).

The renovation and extension of this Grade II*-listed Palladian cottage in Bath required meticulous research and planning. The building’s original designer, John Palmer, created some of the Somerset city’s bestloved buildings, so a delicate touch was essential. James Grayley Architects’ plan was for there to be an interesting dialogue between the old and new elements of the house, which are married by the use of ashlar, a stone common in the architecture of the local area. There’s stunning modernity here, including a cutting-edge kitchen, but where historic details have endured, they are celebrated ( jamesgrayley.com).

Wedged between two tall mid-Victorian houses, this four-storey east London home is a brilliant study in inventiveness and beautiful bespoke detailing.

For example, the rooms on the upper floors are unified by a richly-coloured Rhodesian mahogany parquet floor, salvaged from a 1970s fire station. The exterior’s sloped roof was angled specifically to allow light to fill every corner of the home, while two double-height doors open out onto a simple courtyard garden (liddicoatgoldhill.com). 84 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK OCTOBER 2018

ASK AN ARCHITECT

EVA JIŘIČNÁ CBE What made you decide to become an architect? Up to the age of 17 I was actually devoted to chemistry. Unfortunately, in my last year at school we had a new professor who I found boring. When I mentioned that architecture might, in fact, be the right choice for me, everybody laughed – ‘Girls cannot understand engineering!’ they said. That made me go for it, to prove that girls can. What does the word ‘home’ mean to you? It is where I can do whatever I like, and where I can fully relax and recharge my batteries. The simpler it is the better. What has been your favourite project to date? I don’t have a favourite – maybe it is still to come. As a matter of fact, any critical designer should see all of their future projects as a way to improve on the mistakes of the previous ones. That is the only way progress is made. Architects no longer work on their own – everything is a result of teamwork. My best memories are related to the projects where there was great collaboration. Can you describe your creative process? I start by getting the facts related to the project down on paper. Then I begin questioning them, trying to understand the purpose of the design. What is it I want to achieve? Who is the intended user? Only after that’s done do I sketch and make models. What are you working on now? I am very fortunate because I am still very busy.

such as Brighton Marina and the capital’s famous Lloyd’s building, as well as a bus station in London’s Canada Water (left), libraries, shops, schools, galleries, exhibitions and ﬂats. I also design costume jewellery, furniture, lights and many staircases (including the stunning steel-mesh Miles Stairs at Somerset House in London, above). I would like to work on humanitarian projects, though – something for those in real need. What is the biggest challenge for architects today? For me, it’s the increasingly high number of people having to live in terrible conditions – in refugee camps with inadequate schools and hospitals. I dream about a time when architecture and industrial design will help us resolve these painful issues. We know how to use technological advancements to create our architectural landmarks and towering skyscrapers, but that knowledge doesn’t seem to apply to other parts of the world where people are sufering. The British Land Celebration of Design Awards, part of this year’s London Design Festival, will be honouring you with a Lifetime Achievement Medal. How do you feel about receiving such a prestigious accolade? Very, very humble. I’ve had the chance to do something I have enjoyed my whole life. I have worked with brilliant people, learnt things I never dreamt of learning about, made great friends and even had a chance to teach the next generation of architects, both in England and the Czech Republic. I have travelled a lot, and have seen a substantial amount of the world. I thought that people only got medals for enormous achievements, and I feel so inadequate – I was just having fun. aidesign.cz

describe them as my misfits,’ Faye Toogood laughs. She’s talking about the employees who work at her London studio – but, coming from the British entrepreneur who has defined herself as a ‘polymath tinker’, this is far from an insult. Rather, it’s gratifyingly non-HR-approved praise from the stylist-turned-designer who has made a career out of being a nonconformist. ‘We have architects, interior designers, product designers, graphic designers, a sculptor and a jeweller at the studio,’ she explains one sunny Friday morning at her home, during a break from sketching and looking after her newborn twins. ‘It’s a place where everyone can mix, so you’ll find a graphic designer working on an interior, or a fashion designer inputting on furniture. I encourage that.’ It’s all a far cry from Toogood’s situation back in 2008, when she ran her company alone at her kitchen table, having created multiple email addresses for herself ‘to make it look like a big business’. Today, the studio in east London’s Redchurch Street is bursting with people, prototypes and project plans. This month alone will see the studio present Toogood’s SS19 clothing collection in its Paris showroom space, unveiling a new interior concept for Mulberry’s Regent Street store, and launching a collaboration (left) with Bill Amberg for the London Design Festival, whereby a painting by Toogood has been exquisitely printed onto butter-soft leather using a new, state-of-the-art digital technique. After graduating in both Fine Art and History of Art in Bristol, back in 1998, Toogood worked in the magazine industry for eight years, styling interiors shoots. ‘I think everything I do today is because of that time,’ she muses. ‘Firstly, as a stylist, you only have a photographic image – often without any text – to communicate with, so I discovered how to tell a story visually. Also, because of the monthly deadlines, I learnt how to produce things very quickly – which actually suits me!’ Indeed, Toogood believes that the reason she couldn’t ever see herself becoming an architect is because spending five years on one project ➤ OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 89

would drive her mad. ‘Plus, magazine budgets were always really low, so I picked up how to use paper and cardboard rather than gold and marble to make a set look great.’ Surely cost restrictions must have changed now she’s working with high-end brands? ‘I do now have clients who can, and want to, use gold and marble… but I’ll still throw in cardboard, because I like the juxtaposition of the utilitarian and the luxury.’ Her academic knowledge of art and its history means Toogood’s mental library of visual and cultural references, spanning centuries and continents, is vast – and it shows in her work. ‘When I’m designing, elements of art, architecture, nature and decoration tend to transcend their respective geographies and histories in my mind, and come into play together – sometimes consciously, sometimes not,’ she says. ‘For example, with the “Roly Poly” chair, some people say “Gosh, that looks really primitive”, but others think it looks totally 1960s and bubble-ish, or tell me how Art Deco it feels to them.’ Born and bred in the rugged Rutland countryside, and obsessed with gathering stones, bones and branches as a child, Toogood’s perennial primary source of inspiration is nature.

In fact, she is so passionate about all things agricultural and earthen that she launched her debut furniture collection, ‘Assemblage 1’, with the help of British mushroom forager Mrs Tee. Yet her design ethos can’t be pigeonholed, and her signature style is elusive – Toogood is also the go-to name when it comes to futuristic installations for avant-garde brands such as Comme Des Garçons. Her manifesto for her clothing line is to create pieces ‘fashioned for industry, not the fashion industry’ – and yet, she was asked by the staf of Vogue Italia to give their Milan oices a makeover this year. These contradictions don’t mean that Toogood’s philosophy is erratic. ‘There is ➤

a thread that runs through all my work: our process is consistent, our emphasis on materials is consistent, our storytelling is always consistent.’ Equally, there is a consistent sense of fun in everything she does. ‘Design shouldn’t be too serious. Something needs to make you smile in order to connect with it.’ Hence the name ‘Roly Poly’ for her 2014 collection. ‘I think it’s quite British, and is about wanting to keep the connection to the child within me, and within others,’ she says. ‘That quality of play and naivety is important.’ Part of a close-knit group of designer friends – including Bethan Laura Wood, Max Lamb and Martino Gamper – Toogood believes there is a freedom of expression allowed in the British design scene that is unique to the UK. ‘There’s no set of rules here, and because of our heritage, there’s a certain depth. London used to be the be all and end all: you had to be there. I don’t think that’s true anymore, which is great for the rest of the country.’ British craft is a cause close to her heart. ‘The New Craftsmen and London Craft Week are really supporting makers across the UK and giving them a voice,’ she says, pointing out that ten years ago, most craftspeople didn’t have websites, let alone a social media presence, meaning few artisans would be known outside of their home towns. Craft is getting cool – which is in no small part due to Toogood’s studio and the way it employs

traditional techniques, from weaving to claywork, to form cutting-edge designs. Her loyalty to the UK has its drawbacks, however. As far as possible, all of Studio Toogood’s furniture and clothing designs are fabricated in British factories or made by British artisans. This is good for UK manufacturing, but bad for price points – a cotton Toogood coat costs £1,670. She realises that while we have got our heads (and wallets) around paying more for, say, an organic British chicken from a farmer’s market over a shipped-in supermarket one, it’s a harder sell when the ‘locally sourced’ levy sees prices hit four ﬁgures. ‘I’d love to make a more afordably priced product. But in order to do so, I’d have to take my manufacturing out of the UK, which would mean going against my principles,’ she says. ‘It’s something I wrestle with constantly.’ As for what’s to come next, there is talk of an online store, and you can now go and visit the House of Toogood, the ground ﬂoor of her studio, which has become a gallery and shop.

sit alongside the studio’s tables, chairs, clothes, wallpaper, lights and sculptures. It’s a tangible, atmospheric showcase of Toogood’s work and vision – a permanent incarnation of the imaginative installations that her team conjure up at Milan Design Week each year to create ‘a world of Toogood’. ‘We really want people to come. It’s by appointment,’ she says. ‘But that basically just means you have to knock on the door.’ There has never been a grand plan: ultimately, Toogood takes it year by year, and aims to continue that way. Her dream project? ‘A hotel,’ she says, without hesitating. After all, the studio could create everything from the interior spaces and furniture to serveware and the world’s most stylish staf uniforms. ‘Since Ilse Crawford did the amazing New York project with Soho House [in 2003] and the concept of the boutique hotel changed the hospitality landscape, I think the ethos and design of hotels has stood still – there’s a bit of a tick list thing going on these days. It would be an amazing challenge for my studio to change that,’ she ponders. ‘I feel that if Studio Toogood did design a hotel, it wouldn’t look like anything else out there.’ fayetoogood.com

Designer, artist and rock-and-roll royalty Jade Jagger shares the experiences that have defined the look of her London home

he pair of snarling neon lips on the wall of the study in this colourful London home are a big clue as to who lives here. The daughter of style icon Bianca and Mick Jagger – lead singer of The Rolling Stones, and proud owner of perhaps the most famous lips in history – Jade Jagger wears her rock heritage with a sardonic wit. Born in Paris in 1971, Jagger was an aspiring artist from an early age and later moved to New York, where she mixed with the cream of the Pop Art scene. Andy Warhol once said of her, ‘I taught her how to colour and she showed me how to play Monopoly’. These dual talents, an eye for design and a head for numbers, helped Jagger when launching her ﬁrst business in the early 1990s, producing one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces. She has since worked as creative director at crown jewellers Asprey & Garrard, started an eponymous accessories brand and collaborated with John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck, founders of interior design ﬁrm Yoo, to create chic properties around the world, from Mumbai to the Cotswolds. She has lived in the Hamptons, Morocco, the Caribbean and at her father’s château in the Loire Valley, but her most recent move was much closer to home – from Notting Hill Gate to east London. ‘It’s more of a design district,’ she says of her new neighbourhood. ‘I felt that all of my contemporaries, whether in fashion or architecture, were here.’ Jagger shares the home with her husband Adrian Fillary and their four-year-old son, Ray. ‘It’s one of the first houses I’ve bought that didn’t need a complete renovation,’ the designer remembers. It’s an incredibly light space, thanks to cleverly placed skylights, but there are very few windows, gifting the property a level of privacy and calm that she appreciates. ‘It makes me feel very secure,’ she says. ‘It’s great for designing, because I’m not distracted by curtain twitching or people walking past.’ ➤

How would she describe her interiors style? ‘We just sold our house in Ibiza and got all of the furnishings back, so lately everything’s become more eclectic,’ Jagger admits. ‘I guess my look has a sense of history, to do with all of the things I love to collect and the stories that go with them. ‘I have a huge collection of textiles, mostly from India and South America, as well as linens from Europe,’ she continues. Phulkari fabric (embroidered silk from India’s Punjab region) has been used to cover chairs in the bedroom, while the carpet in the living room is from Jaipur. ‘Adrian and I call it the magic carpet, because we got married on it,’ she adds. ‘The work I do can encroach on my life, with fabrics and designs spilling out everywhere. That’s why you end up wearing black and white – to keep a sense of discipline,’ she jokes. ‘I do like colour and pattern, but I also believe in restraint.’ Jagger tempers her natural decorating exuberance by pairing pattern with a selection of sleek design classics, such as Vitsœ shelving, a ‘Charles’ sofa by Antonio Citterio for B&B Italia and a stylish ‘Signature’ lounge chair by Frits Henningsen for Carl Hansen & Søn. Her favourite pieces, however, are personal – from the box made out of Japanese cards that her husband built for her as a birthday present to the plants that have travelled with her on her many moves. ‘I ﬁnd the transience of fashion and design very bad,’ she says. ‘I don’t think you need to spend a lot of money, but you should think of things as heritage pieces. Buy things you will love forever – things that will become part of the architecture of your life.’ ➤

BRITISH PLANTS ARE ENSHRINED IN OUR COLLECTIVE MEMORY, SOMETHING THAT’S HUGELY IMPORTANT IN OUR EXPERIENCE OF SCENT James Craven, fragrance archivist at London boutique Les Senteurs, is pondering what the concept of a ‘British scent’ might mean. ‘Britain doesn’t really scream perfume,’ he reflects, ‘because many people associate scent with the exotic. It makes more sense for home fragrance, I think. The smell of the sea. Moors and mountains. Meadows, cricket pitches…’ Our traditionally cool, rainy climate, he adds, means that we have relatively few crops suitable for use in fragrance; the yield of oil is too small and too unreliable. What we do have, argues Sarah Rotheram, CEO of British perfumer Miller Harris, is a wealth of wild plants that difuse scent in a natural way. ‘Honeysuckle, privet and cow parsley all have scents that carry on the air,’ she says. ‘There are also evocative smells, such as woodsmoke and blackcurrant bushes, in our gardens. That’s why Miller Harris home fragrances are all about the idea of opening your windows and bringing aromas indoors.’ Wild scents, rather than fine perfumes à la Française, have long defined Britain’s olfactory landscape. Consider Shakespeare’s endless references to country blooms – ‘daisies pied and violets blue’, ‘luscious woodbine’ and ‘pale primroses’ – or William Morris’s celebration of marigold, meadowsweet and honeysuckle. Familiar from our national art and poetry, such plants are enshrined in our collective memory, something that’s hugely important in our experience of scent. ‘For centuries, many British homes would have had a “still room” where the family made medicines, candles and perfumed waters,’ notes Craven. ‘All would be made from oils distilled from the garden or found in the fields, such as sage, rosemary, thyme and valerian.’ Thanks to the glut of industrially made, artificially scented goods on sale today, we’ve lost touch with these old-world ingredients. ➤ 114 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK OCTOBER 2018

New British perfume label Parterre aims to change that with its botanical garden at Keyneston Mill, Dorset, where gardeners are reviving historic varieties of herbs, such as camomile and yarrow. Visitors are entranced, says co-founder Julia Bridger. ‘People are eager to learn how the plants are grown and distilled; we encourage touching and sniing.’ An interest in natural, locally sourced botanicals like these is growing – as perfumer Roja Dove says, they are ‘the olfactive equivalent of the farm-to-table movement’. And though many raw materials continue to be sourced abroad, the number of British-inspired scents is also on the rise. Dove has just relaunched his collection of single-note scented candles to reflect the provenance of each ingredient; ‘Bluebell of England’ (£95; rojadove.com) is a nostalgic tribute to the bluebell woods near his grandparents’ home. Elsewhere, Jo Malone London has unveiled the ‘Honeysuckle & Davana’ candle (£45; jomalone.co.uk). ‘Honeysuckle is a quintessentially English flower, but it doesn’t exist naturally in perfumery,’ says Celine Roux, the brand’s head of fragrance development. To recreate its aroma in the most authentic way possible, perfumer Anne Flipo used headspace technology, a process that captures smells in the air around a plant. It was the flower’s wildness that appealed most – ‘It’s a happy scent that surprises you as you’re out walking,’ says Roux. Even the humblest of British flowers can be captivating.

wet green meadows and wildflowers in spring,’ says founder Lyn Harris, whose brand reflects her own love of the rugged British countryside and the changing seasons. Other notes in Perfumer H’s collection include ivy, sweet pea, moss, pine and oak. Wildflowers are heavenly in the summer months, but in cooler weather, we instinctively turn ‘Dandelion’ candle, towards green, woody scents – those of the ‘moors and mountains’ described by James Craven. £110, Perfumer H For the coming autumn, Miller Harris has launched the new ‘Mossket’ room diffuser (£85; (perfumerh.com) millerharris.com), which Rotheram says ‘evokes the scent of a forest floor’; it’s the result of an 18-month foraging project. Meanwhile, London candlemaker Charles Farris has introduced the ‘British Expedition’ and ‘Pinetum’ candles (£34 each; charlesfarris.com), which feature mint tea and pine needle notes. The former is inspired by Victorian London, says perfumer Tim DugganRees, but conjures the ‘adventurous spirit’ of the Empire era. It’s interesting that green, mossy aromas also appeal to brands beyond our shores – notably in France, where they were dubbed fougère (fern) scents in the 19th century. Parisian candlemaker Cire Trudon explores the genre in its ‘Balmoral’ candle (£70; trudon.com), which evokes the damp ‘Mossket’ room difuser, ferns that grow in the Royal Family’s Aberdeenshire estate, while pharmacy Buly 1803 ofers lotions perfumed with Scottish lichen and moss (from £46; buly1803.com).

MARBLING MAGIC Granby Workshop is putting a new spin on traditional ceramic tiles. After researching the historic methods used to produce encaustic tiles, the company decided to invent a modern technique. Instead of the colours and patterns being applied to the surface of the clay, it decided to form the colours from the clay itself – meaning that the patterns don’t fade as they wear. The colours are marbled together in a random fashion, making every ﬂoor or wall tile unique. £253 per square metre (granbyworkshop.co.uk).

O F F T H E WA L L Brooklyn-based husband and wife design duo Nick and Rachel Cope launched Calico Wallpaper (named after their cat) during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Inspired by a rare sample of antique paper found in a curiosity shop in New York, they experimented with paper marbling, digitally enlarging handmade patterns. The brand’s latest range, ‘Oceania’ (below), is created using a salt-resist process. From £263 per square metre (calicowallpaper.com).

What first sparked your passion for flooring? When I was younger, my dad gave me some old floorboards to restore. I was able to sell them in the local newspaper to someone working on a barn conversion project. Where do you source your reclaimed wood from? Much of it is taken from pre19th-century buildings in the UK, such as schools, warehouses and hospitals. We recently reclaimed some wood from the War Oice in Whitehall. As we only reclaim the best wood that we can find, it tends to come from places with historical merit. You were known for your reclaimed floors, so why the move into new ones? People kept asking for reclaimed oak floorboards, but we couldn’t find enough to meet demand, so we decided to make new ones ourselves using traditional machinery and methods. At the time, no other company in the country was manufacturing wide-plank floors like we were. What do you love about working with wood? As a material, it stands the test of time. Reclaimed wood also has a unique beauty to it, which can be really captivating. Restoring and finding a new home for it is a hugely fulfilling process (tedtodd.co.uk).

CH RIS TO PH ER FAR R Revolutionising rugs and bringing his bold aesthetic to fabrics, Farr’s vibrant brand is an institution

When Christopher Farr co-founded his eponymous rug company with Matthew Bourne in 1988, the demand for the decorative knotted or ﬂatweave rugs with which it is synonymous was in the doldrums. ‘The market was split between antique styles and department store goods,’ recalls Farr. ‘This left out anyone who loved high-quality, well-crafted, creatively designed carpets.’ Undeterred, Farr and Bourne opened their ﬁrst showroom in London that year. Farr, who studied at the Slade School of Fine Art in London, became enamoured with textiles on a trip to the Peruvian Andes in 1975. He felt that the region’s colour-saturated cloths packed just as much of a visual punch as abstract expressionist Mark Rothko’s colour-drenched canvases. Initially stocking only antique rugs, Christopher Farr began displaying contemporary options in 1990. Despite the economic recession then, the latter proved a hit. A sellout show of rugs made with Royal College of Art students in 1991 kickstarted a slew of collaborations, including ones with fashion designers Romeo Gigli (in association with Cappellini), Rifat Ozbek and designers Kate Blee and Allegra Hicks. The turn of the millennium marked the start of new chapters: the shop moved from Primrose Hill to Westbourne Grove – then London’s key design hub, and, says Farr, ‘the seed of what became the London Design Festival’. That year, it founded Christopher Farr Cloth with Michal Silver (once a designer for Mulberry). Beginning with hand-printed textiles and wallcoverings, the company later added historical oferings, with rug designs by Bauhaus supremo Gunta Stölzl. In 2012, it issued rugs by The Omega Workshops (founded by Bloomsbury Group members) and, soon after, ones by Bauhaus artists Anni and Josef Albers. Asked what makes a pattern successful, Farr says, ‘We just make things we love by people we admire.’ Rugs and textiles, he believes, should be tools for selfexpression. christopherfarr.eu

DID YOU KNOW?

Famous fans and Farr’s celebrated collaborations 1 Christopher Farr Cloth’s best-selling design is the exuberant fabric ‘Carnival’, depicting pomegranates, created in the 1970s by textile designer Michael Szell. Clients that took a fancy to this design included the Queen Mother, as well as Hollywood royalty Ava Gardner. 2 As well as producing standout historic designs from the likes of Josef Albers, both branches of the company have also initiated partnerships with high-proﬁle modern names, including artists Louise Bourgeois, Gary Hume and Gavin Turk, Kit Kemp, co-founder and interior designer of Firmdale Hotels, and industrial product designer Tord Boontje. 3 To coincide with the Tate Modern’s ‘Anni Albers’ exhibition showcasing the Bauhaus textile designer’s work (11 October – January 2019; tate.org.uk), Christopher Farr has produced a new tufted rug and two new printed textiles developed from her original designs in collaboration with the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation.

VI O LET Move over, millennial pink – the shade’s grown-up sibling has a renewed hold on our afections

According to experts, 2018 is the year of purple. Pantone chose ‘Ultra Violet’ as its colour of the year, with trend forecasting ﬁrm WGSN noting that it fed into a renewed interest in maximalist fashions, as well as the desire for self-expression and escapism. What neither ﬁrm mentioned, however, was that violet’s rise was foretold some 140 years ago by another group who had selfexpression and the future on their minds: the Impressionists. While an early fan conceded that the Impressionists’ work did ‘almost always proceed from a violet and bluish range’, others were less kind. Some argued that they must sufer from a disease, which they dubbed ‘violettomania’. Others thought that their preference was a consequence of painting outside, the result of permanent damage to the artists’ eyes after spending too much time in the sun. The art critic Alfred de Lostalot, in a dismissive review of one of Monet’s shows, wrote that ‘he and his friends see purple, the crowd sees otherwise; hence the disagreement’. The Impressionists themselves, however, were unrepentant in their ardour for this shade. In 1881, Edouard Manet announced that he’d discovered the true colour of the atmosphere: ‘It is violet. Fresh air is violet. Three years from now, the whole world will work in violet.’ If you share Manet’s enthusiasm, now is a good time to indulge – the publicity generated by Pantone and WGSN has propelled this hue into the spotlight. As you might expect, the queen of colour, India Mahdavi, includes it in her repertoire – Chez Nina, the private club she designed for Galleria Nilufar earlier this year, sees violet mixed with red and black in mid-century shapes. For a softer take, look at Designers Guild’s ‘Savoie’ wallpaper in ‘Fuchsia’, which segues from white, through violet to magenta (£225 per roll; designersguild.com). It’s a painterly take on the trend. Lostalot might not have approved; Manet, however, almost certainly would. 136 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK OCTOBER 2018

Bespoke craft techniques, such as relief plaster, cut leather and beading are transforming wallcoverings into works of art

At chef Ollie Dabbous’ new Mayfair restaurant Hide (above), guests can be forgiven for letting their gaze wander beyond the table: the venue’s bespoke wall finishes command attention. In the upstairs dining room, London artist Rachel Dein’s handmade plaster mural is adorned with a floral relief pattern, formed using casts of real foraged plants. In the bathrooms, Venezuelan artist Jeanette Ramirez of Twig By The Clorofilas has studded walls and ceilings with preserved moss, mushrooms and lichen. ‘The idea was to treat the walls as large-scale installations,’ explains Rose Murray, director of These White Walls, the design studio that led the project. The walls at Hide are just one example of a new wave of handcrafted finishes that are as finely embellished as couture gowns. More adaptable than of-the-peg wallpapers, they can be customised to fit the shape of your space or to tell personal stories: the mural at Hide contains treasured objects hidden amid the flowers, including a necklace from Dabbous and one of Murray’s brooches. For a private home in Hampstead, London, designer Daniel Heath created bespoke birdand-vine panelling that’s tailored to flow across the bathroom walls, snaking around fixtures and door frames (far left, from £500 per square metre; danielheath.co.uk). ‘The look is delicate, yet luxurious,’ says Heath. ➤ From top The stunning mural at Hide restaurant, London.

Equally impactful are Fameed Khalique’s raia weaves (top left, from £947 per square metre; fameedkhalique.com). They come in many hand-embroidered patterns, such as ﬂorals and geometrics. ‘We can also create wood-veneer wallcoverings that resemble marquetry [£130 per square metre] and sculpted leather ﬁnishes [from £1,950 per square metre],’ says Khalique. ‘Because walls are such a huge canvas, there’s potential to create something with incredible drama.’ A heightened sense of materiality is key to designer Genevieve Bennett’s hand-carved leather wall panelling (far left), which adds sensual texture to any interior. Clad an entire wall or choose smaller panels (from £2,750 per square metre; genevievebennett.com). At Fromental, there are endless options. Its ‘Ponti’ design (left, £556 per square metre; fromental.co.uk) is inspired by Gio Ponti’s geometric patterns and is made of silk, handpainted to resemble travertine. Likewise, the brand’s ‘Braque’ design’s collaged tea papers are coloured and scaled to transform a room into an artwork (£471 per square metre). For interior walls at their most luxuriously embellished, look to specialist maker De Gournay, which has recently introduced beading and embroidery to complement its iconic hand-painted wallpapers. Sequins, delicate beads and metallic threads can be applied to custom patterns or any design in its permanent collection, so they glisten as the light moves across them. On the Japaneseinspired ‘Fish’ wallpaper on silver-gilded silk (top, from £1,344 per panel; degournay.com), the threads mimic the iridescence of scales. It’s as close to couture as walls get.

Tassels, braids and fringes are being reinvented for the modern home – take inspiration from these stylish designs

Trimmings – or passementerie, to give them their more romantic name – are back in vogue after years in the decorating wilderness. Italian designer Cristina Celestino revived them in spectacular fashion in her ‘Corallo’ installation, for which she festooned a Milanese tram with an array of fringes, rope cords and patterned borders; her ‘Gilda’ sofa and ‘Tripolino’ tables for Editions Milano are similarly embellished. At House of Hackney, Soho Home and Gucci Décor, you can purchase tasselled cushions and furniture reminiscent of Victorian salons, while American designers Kelly Wearstler and Laura Kirar are making passementerie look modern again with chic, geometric trimmings. Wearstler’s latest collection for Groundworks at Lee Jofa (above, from £45 per metre, GP & J Baker; gpjbaker.com) includes graphic borders inspired by the Bauhaus and a chunky bullion fringe, while Kirar’s ‘Artesania X’ range for British brand Samuel & Sons is influenced by Mexican handcrafts. ‘Technology and new materials are redefining trimmings,’ says Michael Cohen, president of Samuel & Sons. ‘Hair-on-hide finishes, appliqué techniques and laser cutting are just some of the innovations that have transformed their staid image, and many of the new designs can be used in ways that were once impractical, such as on walls and around doorways.’ ➤ OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 143

London designer Jessica Light makes vibrant, modern pieces that can be customised to your interior. ‘Everything we do is designed to work in a contemporary home,’ she says. ‘Trimmings only look old-fashioned if they’re overused. The trick is not to think of them just as edgings, but as tools to add interest to a scheme: pick one to three colours from the fabrics, paint and wallpapers you’re using and coordinate the trims, or be brave with a single contrast hue. Even a small key tassel on a drawer handle or light pull can be striking.’ Selecting a bright colour, such as the vibrant pinks and teals of the oversized tassels used (far right) to show of the joyful hues in British design brand House of Hackney’s ‘Mamounia’ wallpaper, will add drama to any room. Ornate designs are on ofer at Nina Campbell and Osborne & Little – both brands excel at bead trims and embroidered borders – and Kate Spade at Kravet delivers chic dot motifs (far left).

CASA J OSEPH I N E Be inspired by this Madridbased interior design ﬁrm’s personal and colourful take on Mediterranean f lair

EXPERT ADVICE

Casa Josephine on how to perfect its look Colour A good way to ﬁnd a colour combination that works is to choose shades that not only go well together as a set, but can also be used in small groups together as accent shades. Our best tip is always to try colours directly on the walls to see if they work. We hardly ever work with large patterns or wallpaper. Textiles We love fabrics and use them extensively, not only to frame windows, but also to decorate walls and divide spaces. We like the idea of creating ﬂexible spaces that can be customised with screens or curtains. For a shop we designed, we stitched more than 100 square metres of patchwork to cover the walls. The geometrical design and its unexpected scale made a dramatic impact. Art As art historians, we know that art should be displayed in a clear space, for contemplation and preservation. But at the same time, as designers we are aware that art is part of the decoration of your home. In our projects, we like to use artworks in a low-key way, without putting the focus on one single piece; otherwise the room can look very contrived. Always pick pieces for their visual qualities rather than their value.

Who are they? Iñigo Aragón (far left) and Pablo López Navarro met as students in the northwest Spanish city of Valladolid, where both were doing degrees in art history. They have been partners in work and life ever since. ‘Our first project was a fashion brand, but it didn’t work out,’ remembers López Navarro. ‘After that, we bought an old house in the Rioja wine region, restored and decorated it, then turned it into a B&B, Casa Josephine (a tribute to the lady who lived in it before us). A few people who stayed with us asked us to decorate their homes and shops. We had no master plan – we just tried to rise to the occasion.’ What’s their style? The duo’s studio, named after the B&B that started everything, opened in Madrid in 2012. Today, the team remains small – just the two designers and an inhouse architect – and they take an appealingly low-key approach to projects. ‘We are less technology-oriented than other decorators,’ muses López Navarro. ‘If there is an essential tool in our oice, it’s a block of Post-It notes.’ This attitude is reflected in their look, which they describe as ‘cultured Mediterranean’. ‘We love vernacular architecture and the homes of artists and writers.’ You can see these influences at work in their own home (bottom right). In the apartment the duo transformed into a showroom for their furniture and artworks (right), blocks of bold, flat colour are used in unexpected ways to highlight high ceilings and architectural features. And, when asked to convert the basement of Madrid restaurant La China Mandarina into a private dining room (below), they were characteristically undeterred by the lack of natural light, using dark shades on the walls and ceiling ‘to blur the perimeter of the room’. In fact, Casa Josephine’s brave and clever use of colour is its hallmark, and its future looks bright. casajosephine.com

Much loved in the 19th century, wide-angle wallpapers are back – here’s how to wow with them

Panoramic wallcoverings ﬁrst became popular in the early 1800s, when the idealised scenes they represented – jungles, bucolic woodlands, romantic sunset harbours – brought a touch of fantasy to the average home. Today’s designs still have that immersive, indulgent feel, delivered in a much more contemporary way. ‘Wide-angle wallpaper designs look great when paired with architectural detailing – they can be framed within beading to create “wall paintings”, or hung seamlessly for added drama,’ explains Carley Bean, head of design at Cole & Son. ‘Their grandeur of scale works as an anchor to set the tone of a space.’ Non-repeating patterns are surprisingly versatile. The key is to ﬁnd a design with the right scale for the proportions of your room: Pierre Frey’s ‘La Serre Palmier’ glasshouse scene (above, £789.60 for a panel; pierrefrey.com) works best if you have high ceilings, for example, while more abstract papers – such as Casamance’s ‘Akebono’, with its subtle forest landscape – suit smaller rooms.

The latest wallpaper collections show this panoramic style being revived in interesting ways. Designers Guild’s ‘Indian Sunﬂower’ looks especially striking hung above a painted dado rail, while Wall & Decò’s ‘Novecento’, depicting a contemporary cityscape, is a sophisticated twist on the traditional country scene. Milanese brand Larghevedute’s hand-painted designs imbue landscapes with a dark romance, while Sandberg counts watercolour efects and on-trend midnight-garden ﬂorals among its oferings. Another key characteristic of panoramic wallpapers is their ability to create trompe l’oeil illusions. Piero Fornasetti’s ‘Nuvole al Tramonto’ cloud print, available at Cole & Son now comes in an ombré colourway. It presents the tantalising prospect of another world beyond your four walls, and can even be used on the ceiling for a truly enveloping pattern experience – the perfect way to quite literally broaden your decorating horizons.

Re ach for the sk yline

This central London apartment building offers a contemporary blueprint for urban living that’s creative, customisable and cool Words AMY BRADFORD Photography RORY GARDINER

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

Few of London’s new apartment blocks are as thoughtfully created as 81–87 Weston Street in Southwark. A collaboration between developer Solidspace – led by Roger Zogolovitch – and Simon Allford of architects AHMM, it was ten years in the planning and is a fine example of the benefits of ‘slow design’. ‘It takes time, and a lot of convincing people to build with imagination and character,’ says Roger, wryly. The end result is, he explains, ‘a combination of new Brutalism and the style of old Milanese apartment buildings.’ Local influences were also key. ‘The pale brickwork references London’s historical architecture,’ says Simon. So too does the old warehouse wall at the rear of the site, which was integrated into the new building. Thanks to its irregular shape, the block also blends in well with the area’s newer arrivals, such as The Shard, which looks down upon Weston Street. A large proportion of the building is British-designed and made, including the concrete framework and interior timber cladding. Even the apartment’s layout – a double-height living space with cooking, dining and working areas on staggered levels around it – complements native tastes. ‘The British prefer houses to flats, and our multi-level design is a kind of house in the sky,’ says Roger. ‘The decision to place bedrooms on the lower floors is, perhaps, more European, but it means that the living room gets the best light and connects to the roof terraces,’ reasons Simon. Customisation was a priority for the interiors. Buyers were ofered a choice of oak or walnut panelling and floors (selected to complement the board-cast concrete structure) and marble or tiles in the bathrooms. Storage was planned around adaptable Ikea cabinets, and there is even the option of renting out a bedroom thanks to an entry system that renders them self-contained units. Roger and Simon imagine Weston Street as a revival of the traditional London mansion block, with a vibrant mix of public and private spaces, and a real sense of community. It’s a testament to this ambitious design that one of the new owners is a Stirling Prize-winning architect. solidspace.co.uk; ahmm.co.uk

In London’s radically reimagined King’s Cross district, designer Rhonda Drakeford has created a hyper-modern space that suits its inner-city setting

Words KATE JACOBS Photography RACHAEL SMITH

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

e often start renovation projects by considering how to make the most of our homes’ existing features – but this bland, white box of a new build, on the eighth floor of an imposing, brick-and-tile high-rise, was distinctly lacking in personality. In fact, the star attraction of the two-bedroom apartment in London’s King’s Cross was the view. ‘The surrounding tower blocks are unashamedly urban, and I wanted the apartment to really become part of this setting,’ explains its interior designer, Rhonda Drakeford. She’s pulled this feat of by creating her own pastel-toned take on Brutalism. Rhonda is best known as the creative force behind Darkroom, the cult lifestyle brand currently hosting a pop up shop at Bert & May on Vyner Street, east London. However, for her interior design projects, she works under the name of Studio Rhonda. ‘While there are recognisable traits across everything I do – strong, structural grids and bold colours that play of organic textures – my Darkroom aesthetic is quite focused, while Studio Rhonda is more free. It’s a conversation with each client.’ The clients in this case are a couple, both chefs. They wanted a home with impact – somewhere to run cookery courses, meet clients and do plenty of entertaining. It needed a statement kitchen and an element of concrete. Beyond that, they trusted Rhonda’s vision. She included concrete via pigmented tiles, all specially made by Bert & May, arranged in strict, graph paper-like formation. ‘I wanted the imperfect finish of handmade tiles to serve as a contrast to the sharp gridlines,’ she says. The colour of concrete also informs the chunky bands of grey paint that give definition to each room. ‘They’re about being playful and creating optical illusions,’ explains Rhonda. Against this backdrop, brighter shades pop out. First came the pink, chosen to echo a neighbouring highrise, then shades of blue – cobalt and cornflower – inspired by the ever-changing skies outside. Primrose yellow and pea green complete the confident quartet, with Rhonda deliberately choosing varied tones rather than a rigid palette. ‘I’ve used chalkier shades of bright colour to bring more depth to the overall look,’ she says. Seeing Rhonda’s vibrant vision come sharply to life, the homeowners cheerfully discarded their former furniture in favour of more colourful pieces – many of them made by Rhonda herself. The designer also created the mural in the living room, which is inspired by mathematical charts. The finished apartment transcends its bland beginnings. ‘It creates quite an abstract feeling,’ says Rhonda. ‘Like floating above a cityscape.’ studio-rhonda.com Kitchen Bespoke cabinets are surrounded by specially-made Bert & May tiles.

РЕЛИЗ ПОДГОТОВИЛА ГРУППА "What's News" VK.COM/WSNWS

ocated close to London’s iconic Portobello Road, this Georgian townhouse could not look more typically British from the outside. Step through the door, however, and the interior is an elegant mix of global influences and reclaimed pieces selected to work in harmony with the traditional architecture. Redesigned by the creative studio at London salvage and reclamation specialists Retrouvius, the four-storey, three-bedroom property has been turned into a sanctuary in the heart of the city. ‘Our client needed her home to have a sense of calm, and to be a place she could wind down in when she returns from her travels,’ says Maria Speake, one of Retrouvius’ co-founders. ‘At the same time, she also wanted a sociable space, where she could welcome guests into a relaxed atmosphere.’ With this in mind, Maria reconfigured the layout to make better use of the property’s generous dimensions. ‘Historically, everybody would head straight to the lower-ground floor and, as a result, the living room felt soulless. We moved the staircase to the back of the lounge to encourage people to use the space,’ says Maria. ‘We also redesigned the kitchen, adding beams and an early 17th-century fireplace. It’s unusual to find this rawness in a London property, but it gives the home an earthy feel.’ Throughout the house, scrubbed pine floorboards create continuity, while walls are finished in Italian Marmorino plaster. ‘The owner specified early on that she wanted to avoid the flatness of emulsion, and this plaster has infinite texture and movement,’ explains Maria. ‘We also used antique textiles as large artworks – she’s a costumier, so has an ainity with fabrics.’ Vintage furniture finds sit comfortably beside design classics, including ‘Wishbone’ chairs by Hans J Wegner for Carl Hansen & Søn and the ‘Le Bambole’ sofas by Mario Bellini for B&B Italia, which belonged to the owner’s grandmother. ‘By moving things around you can change your relationship with them,’ says Maria. ‘We’re all about encouraging reuse, so we help people to recognise what fabulous items they already own. In the right place, they can look a million dollars.’ retrouvius.com ➤ OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 195

When writer Anabel Cutler bought a former garage plot in north London, she had the rare opportunity to create her own urban haven from scratch Words ANABEL CUTLER Photography PAUL RAESIDE Styling CLAUDIA BRYANT

Even if you were one of those people who is utterly in love with London, you’d still have to admit that life in the capital comes with certain stresses. In a city that’s so densely populated, it’s nigh on impossible to find solace, and I had reached the point at which my best chance for survival was to create a peaceful, internally-focused living space to provide an antidote to the chaos. I craved a home that was simple and beautiful – almost monastic. So, when my partner Steve Wallington and I bought a garage plot in London’s Kensal Rise, it was a tantalising chance to create a new space that was totally unique and responded as much to our philosophy on living well as it did to our idea of a functional home. Building a house from scratch in London is a rare opportunity, and it came with the added treat of being able to stay true to our design aesthetic. We agreed that the principles and materials that would bring this concept to life should follow the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which embraces authenticity, simplicity and natural design, and celebrates beauty in the flaws that come with age. Ultimately, we were guided by the curved arches and pools of light seen in JMW Turner’s 1819 sketch, Interior of an Italian Church, in which the play of sun on the walls has an integral role in creating atmosphere. The Japanese-led architectural practice Takero Shimazaki Architects fitted perfectly with our ideals and, from the outset, they had a real understanding of what we were trying to achieve. Working with them over the three years it took to plan and build the twobedroom house felt like a truly creative collaboration, free of any ego-driven decisions. ‘The internal concrete structure and the strategically made openings, including the arches and the high-level window above the stairs, bring in just enough light to articulate the form of the building’, says Takero Shimazaki. ‘The external weathered chestnut wood façade was chosen to closely match the tone of the concrete. This home is a hidden, warm oasis of tactility and sensual light.’ It is everything we’d hoped for, and somewhere that gets better with time, growing and changing as we live our lives in it. We can shut the door and find stillness and peace. It’s a modern interpretation of the word ‘home’. t-sa.co.uk Living area A plaster wall finish by Clayworks, velvet curtain by Sally Rieder and ‘Deltille’ rug by Trine Kielland for The Rug Company create a tactile space.

plot of land ought to be able to earn its keep. Or, at least, that was the thinking of design consultant Jason Bold and his wife Sarah, an artist, when they snapped up a croft on the Harlosh peninsula of the Isle of Skye’s west coast. They realised they could make this small estate pay its way traditionally, by using it to farm sheep and chickens, as well as in a more modern way, by building contemporary boltholes around the site for holiday lets. ‘We quickly realised that, like us, people are attracted to modern architecture that is connected to the landscape,’ says Jason. This informed the pair’s brief for local architecture practice Dualchas, who came up with a simple, single-storey lodge that allows the stunning scenery to take the limelight. The 70 square-metre split-level building is divided into two halves: an open-plan kitchen and living space, and a bedroom-bathroom area. Both have floor-to-ceiling windows, meaning residents can look out over the tawny-brown Cuillin mountains as the sun rises in the east, or admire the sunset over Loch Vatten and Macleod’s Tables (two flat-topped hills). ‘The area around Harlosh is characterised by the contrast between soft, rolling grassland and sudden, sharp drops at clif edges down to sea lochs and inlets,’ says Neil Stephen, the project’s lead architect. The design echoes this juxtaposition: the angular silhouette belies a gentler interior. ‘The décor is quite minimal, yet mellowed by natural elements and texture,’ says Sarah. ‘For example, most of the furniture is designed by us and handmade in oak by a brilliant Edinburgh-based joiner, Namon Gaston.’ The ostensibly austere concrete floor has been only slightly polished to leave a velvety, stillmatt finish, and is luxuriously heated throughout. The rich black Siberian larch that clads the exterior runs through the centre of the house, too – quite literally bringing the outside in. The home’s isolated location, of access roads and mere metres from the sea edge, meant the project was challenging, but the couple are thrilled with the result. ‘I love the house’s space, the light, the connection to the weather,’ says Sarah. ‘When lying on the bed facing the windows, you can watch the weather passing by, be it sunshine or storms rolling in of the Atlantic. It feels like you’re about to float out over the croft.’ Harlosh sleeps two, from £975 for a three-night weekend, and can be booked on harlosh.co 216 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK OCTOBER 2018

wned by a keen art collector, this home, hidden behind an unassuming Georgian façade on a peaceful street in London’s Chelsea, is a sharpedged gallery of a property. A shimmering vision of stone, stainless steel and glass, it was created by architect Tony Fretton and has the same arresting quality as the contemporary sculptures that it houses. The task of turning this modern masterpiece into a family home was given to an interior designer with a graceful touch: Allegra Hicks. Known for her beautiful rugs and wallhangings – she has previously won Best Fabric at the ELLE Decoration British Design Awards – Allegra has added a sense of texture to this space, smoothing its corners and bringing an unexpected feeling of being cocooned to the arching, spacious proportions. Thanks to her sensitive approach, this monumental home feels almost cosy. ‘The biggest challenge,’ she says, ‘was making it comfortable, suitable for even the most mundane of moments.’ The house was filled with treasures – including Anish Kapoor’s When I am Pregnant, a white belly-like sculpture that appears to stretch out of the wall in the living room – as well as enviable collections of furniture and Indian artifacts. Allegra’s task was to work with these pieces, bringing a new softness to the setting. Textiles were key, such as the silvery silk carpet from Nepal in the bedroom and the bespoke woollen rug she designed for the living area. ‘I wanted the room to be interesting from whichever direction you look at it,’ she says. Her palette is delicate, comprising greys, grey-blues and grey-yellows – carefully chosen to lighten the space without detracting from the art on display. Lightness, transparency and harmony were Allegra’s aims, enhancing what was so exciting about this architectural house. She mirrored the steel in the fabric of the building with metal tables in floral shapes and reflected the many windows with glass-topped furniture. The result is a work of art of a diferent sort – a space with the grandeur of a gallery and all the comforts of home. allegrahicks.com; tonyfretton.com ➤

3 OF THE BEST NEW COOKBOOKS

GENIUS PRESERVES Lillie O’Brien quit her job as a pastry chef to start preparing imaginative preserves using natural, rather than reﬁned, sugar. She opened her shop, London Borough of Jam, in 2011 and has now written Five Seasons of Jam (autumn is split into early and late) – its recipes include pink elderﬂower and sage vinegar and medlar and rosemary jellies (£20, Kyle Books).

FIVE-STAR CUISINE Ever wanted to know the secrets behind the decadent dishes served up at London’s grandest hotel? The Ritz London: The Cookbook takes us behind the scenes. Now, you can rustle up a canard à la presse (pressed duck), followed by the hotel’s signature showpiece, the delicious crêpe suzette (£30, Octopus).

SCINTILLATING SPICE For instructions on how to cook Hyderabad baby aubergine with coconut and curry leaf – or just roll a chapatti – pick up a copy of Kricket: an Indian-inspired cookbook, named after the tiny Brixton restaurant that has quickly achieved culinary success – a brand new outpost recently opened in the newly revamped BBC Television Centre (£26, Hardie Grant).

FOREST FEASTS For some of us, the ideal getaway involves not a glamorous hotel, but an eco-dome with a log-burning stove and a morning delivery of local bacon, homemade yogurt, a still-warm loaf and a pie dish full of fruit. This is the way the day starts in any of the dwellings – there are bell tents, yurts, cabins and rooms in the farmhouse – at Fforest, a holistic, holiday rental project in Pembrokeshire, run by James Lynch and Sian Tucker. From £180 for a two-night self-catered stay (coldatnight.co.uk).

SOURDOUGH SCHOOL South London bakery Brick House’s beloved San Franciscostyle (slow fermentation) sourdough loaves appear in bread baskets at restaurants across London – and now you can learn to make your own. Every Sunday at its Dulwich headquarters (the original ‘brick house’), the pros hold ‘Sourdough in a Day’ classes, where students learn to make Danish rye, focaccia and a take on the bakery’s classic loaf. A lunch of freshly-made pizza is included (you’ll make the bases) and pupils take home their kit, including a cane banneton (a woven basket to bake a cobbler in) and a sourdough starter. £150 (brickhousebread.com).

CATCH OF THE DAY Lovers of seafood are spoilt for choice right now, with stylish new openings in Glasgow and London

A’CHALLTAINN Found in Glasgow’s The

Barras, the city’s market hall, this venue’s highlight is its £1 oyster happy hour. Shellfish savings aside, its interiors are stellar – housed under its impressively arching glass-roofed atrium you’ll find vintage filing cabinets, watercolour fish illustrations and mottled parquet flooring (baadglasgow.com).

NEPTUNE

The latest, largest and most glamorous project by chef Brett Redman and former fashion stylist Mags Crow, this seafood restaurant in London’s Bloomsbury is a true pearl. The interior, inspired by the work of British design hero David Hicks, features petticoat chandeliers, shell-shaped sconces and peach-coloured walls. The dishes are all as delectable as the décor: go wild and order the seafood platter, starring everything from langoustines to mackerel and cockles (neptune.london).

PARSONS The duo behind the independent

BRAT Brat is, in fact, an old English nickname for

turbot. Said fish, as well as sole, young leeks and Herdwick lamb are cooked, Basque-style, over flames, at the large fire pit located at one end of this restaurant on the first floor of a warehouse-style building in Shoreditch, London. Inspired by the simplicity of the interiors in their favourite Japanese wine bars, the owners of Brat asked London joiner Dan Preston to craft tables from English chestnut wood, while plain white plates are the perfect backdrop to the major flavours and beautiful colours served up daily by the venue’s talented chefs (bratrestaurant.com).

Raise your glass to three cool, new wine bars, all pairing their tipples with equally delectable dishes

LEROY, LONDON The owners of the elegant, edgy and Michelin-starred Ellory have now moved on to this more low-key venue. Start your evening with a glass of orange wine and a plate of Padron peppers in the light, airy Shoreditch space, created by British designer Fred Rigby (leroyshoreditch.com).

ALCHEMILLA, GLASGOW Pull up a stool at the countertop in this contemporary new tapas bar, named after the herb otherwise known as ‘lady’s mantle’. It only serves sustainably-sourced natural wine, and food ranges from a simple saucer of fresh anchovies in olive oil to reﬁned dishes, such as pigeon, pistachio, dates and herbs (thisisalchemilla.com).

Chiltern Firehouse chef Nuno Mendes is very firm about the fact that his new venue, Mãos, is not a restaurant. So what is it? A kitchen, dining table and wine shop, all situated within London’s Blue Mountain School, a multi-disciplinary project run by cult fashion label and concept store Hostem. Dinner here is served in a single sitting, starting at 7pm, with the venue designed to look and feel like a home. Photographing your dishes is frowned upon, but chatting to the chefs over a glass of pinot noir while they prepare dinner is encouraged. Guests are welcome to eat dessert in the kitchen or wander through to the wine room to pick up a bottle between courses. And the food? It’s influenced by Portugal and Japan – seaweed and fresh fish abound – but dishes aren’t announced until the night, to maintain a sense of mystery. £150 for three courses (bluemountain.school/maos). 248 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK OCTOBER 2018

BRIGHT, LONDON The team behind Clapton’s legendary natural wine shop and bar, P. Franco, has opened a sibling bar with more tables.

Harbour, Europe’s biggest destination for interior design professionals and enthusiasts L I G H T FA N TA S T I C

Having designed outfits covered in LEDs for Rihanna and ‘the most advanced piece of millinery in the world’ for Jamiroquai’s Jay Kay, designer Moritz Waldemeyer’s latest project is an emotive installation of light at Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour for Focus/18 How do you describe what you do? That’s a diicult question! I’m a curious creator of sorts, I go in creative directions that aren’t limited to a single discipline, borrowing strands from art, design, photography and fashion – just being very free. I hesitate to use the phrase ‘Renaissance Man’, but perhaps it’s the closest description. Polymath, maybe? Light features prominently in your work – what materials do you prefer to use when designing? I started out in my career at the same time as the rise in the innovation of the LED bulb – I was working at Phillips from around 2000, when LEDs were just little signal lights on radios. We had the sense that they would become twice as strong and half as expensive, and the beauty of them for me is that they can be easily interfaced with electronics, simply controlled, and used to create amazing efects and an incredible ambience. You can use them to tap into people’s emotions. You see, fire is something that is programmed into our psyches – we have an instant response to it. With LEDs, I can find a way to mimic that, but make it look more curious than flames, amplifying the response. What was the brief Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour came to you with? They wanted an installation that would be site-specific, would attract people and be a talking point. It needed to be interactive and photogenic. I love the building’s octagonal domes, so was inspired to cover two walls in octagonal frames that will shine light around the space. The Design Centre is all about decorative elements, full of wallpaper and fabric samples, so people will be able to bring their swatches up to a camera beside the lights and it will read their colours, turning the LEDs into that specific shade. It means the installation will be led by the curious, and we’ll be able to tell which colours are the biggest trends of the season by looking at which ones get shown to the camera most often. What do you hope people will get from it? At the moment, nothing is more necessary than positivity – we are being overrun with negativity every time we open a newspaper. Design needs to counteract that and bring balance back to the world with optimistic vibes – that’s what my practice is all about. Waldemeyer’s installation ‘Journey of Colour’, a 12-metre-long walkway of light, will be open 16–21 September (waldemeyer.com) OCTOBER 2018 ELLEDECORATION.CO.UK 257

Also in the mix is Tiipoi, which will debut its concrete planters (above) inspired by India’s urban infrastructure (twentytwentyone.com).

ARAM STORE

FORTNUM & MASON

Visit ‘Hilos Invisibles’ (‘Invisible Threads’), a collection of products by Uruguay-born designer Matteo Fogale. The pieces, which include collaborations with seven studios based in Uruguay’s capital, Montevideo, were created during Fogale’s residency at Museo Casa Vilamajó – the home built by Modernist architect Julio Vilamajó Echaniz (aram.co.uk).

Daily tea parties will be held in a specially-designed space on the first floor of the flagship store in Piccadilly throughout the festival. Dreamt up by Dutch studio Scholten & Baijings, the venue is as much an art installation as it is a cofee shop – displaying more than 80 pieces by companies from around the globe (fortnumandmason.com).

MINT

SELFRIDGES

This year, Lina Kanafani’s design store celebrates its 20th anniversary with a showcase dedicated to designers who have worked with materials in inventive ways. Called ‘TRANS-FORM’, it will include work by 60 makers, such as designer Tadeáš Podracký, who uses industrial glass waste to make vessels, and Stine Mikkelsen, who creates sculptural objects using two new composite materials (mintshop.co.uk).

The iconic department store will be presenting a collection of exclusive products made with sustainable and ethical trading in mind. Called ‘Conscious Creators’, it will highlight furniture made by startup company Pentatonic using recycled smartphones and food waste, as well as a selection of cashmere pieces from Oyuna’s collaboration with the Sustainable Fibre Alliance (selfridges.com).

SCP Collectively titled ‘A World Of Ordinary Things’, SCP’s programme of product launches and experiences includes an exhibition of chairs by Jasper Morrison for Emeco, brought to life with a sound installation by Anthony Moorea. The brand is also launching a new corner chair and sofa – designed by Gareth Neal in collaboration with Folk, they feature saddle bags made using surplus leather from SCP’s upholstery factory (scp.co.uk).

V I T SOE Vitsœ explores the emotional bonds between its customers and their belongings in an exhibition at its Duke Street shop. Lent to the brand by its loyal customer base, the treasured objects on show have been used, repaired and cherished for many years. Displayed alongside their stories, the pieces include a universal lid opener from the 1990s, a 36-year-old tape measure and a toasting fork made by a customer’s great-grandfather (vitsoe.com).

SKANDIUM In line with Brompton Design District’s theme of ‘Material Consequences’, the home of Scandinavian design will be transforming its ﬂagship store into an eco home. Responsibly made products (such as the ‘Montana’ shelving, above) constructed using sustainably sourced materials or under corporate responsibility initiatives will be showcased against a backdrop designed by architect Helena Laursen (skandium.com).

There’s something going on in every corner of London – wherever you travel across the capital, our essential guide has you covered

KING’S CROSS

PIMLICO

M AY FA I R

This new design route draws on the area’s rapidly expanding ﬂock of creative businesses. Tom Dixon will host ‘Electroanalogue’ – a gathering of digital innovations in the brand’s new home – and Matter of Stuf’s pop-up gallery, designed by Raw Edges, will open its doors.

Visit the enlightening ‘Sustainable Self’ art installation by PDP Architects in Orange Square, then stop by Carl Hansen & Søn’s new Danish design ﬂagship, Rose Uniacke for classic sofas, Poggenpohl for live cookery demonstrations, and Soane Britain to see craftspeople at work.

At design venue and bar Sketch, Matter of Stuf will be presenting ‘Cocktail Atmospheres’ – with new lighting and furniture served up alongside matching drinks – while Galerie Patrick Seguin is presenting the work of mid-20thcentury French designer Jean Royère.

BROMPTON

VICTORIA

WEST KENSINGTON

Focused on how waste can be used as a resource, the Brompton Design District’s exhibitors will inhabit a block of vacated shops and oices on Brompton Road. Designer Fernando Laposse will be presenting ‘Totomoxtle’ – a new veneer material made from Mexican corn.

This area’s activities and events are built around the theme of ‘Connections: People and Places’. Take the ‘Victoria: Then & Now’ tour with Landsec – one of the area’s largest landowners – and see The Guards Museum’s exhibition on how military uniforms are inﬂuencing fashion.

Home to the Design Museum and the BBC Television Centre, which will each have its own programme of LDF events. Also not to be missed is Polish brand Zieta’s exhibition at the Arthill Gallery, and special guided tours of Blythe House, the V&A’s research centre in Hammersmith.

SHOREDITCH The Design Triangle will once again be the focus of east London’s activities. Lee Broom will be launching his new ‘Orion’ light at his Rivington Street showroom, and curator Laura Houseley will launch the fourth edition of ‘Ready Made Go’ – a collection of pieces made by Londonbased designers for Ace Hotel.

M A RY L E B O N E New to the Festival map, this district boasts some big names. The Conran Shop, David Mellor and Little Greene will all be holding workshops, demos and launches on Marylebone’s chosen festival day: 19 September. Another Country’s new furniture in collaboration with eco architects Ekkist promises to be a treat.

REGENT STREET & ST JAMES’S Also making its debut in 2018, this area’s highlights are Bottletop, the world’s ﬁrst 3D printed store, and Showcase, a shop dedicated to discovering new design talent – visit to see a window display by recent Royal College of Art graduates.

FITZROVIA Established brands, such as West Elm, Fritz Hansen and Habitat, will all be holding events here. Look out for ‘Flint’ – a collection of terrazzo furniture and objects by Joyce Wang Studio (above) – and a celebration of London’s pioneering female designers at Heal’s.

BANKSIDE

CLERKENWELL

PA D D I N G T O N C E N T R A L

Font fans and type geeks should head to the riverbank to partake in events such as a pop-up sign painting school in Borough Market with Mike Meyer, hosted by his lettering agency Better Letters. Be sure to book Sarah Hyndman of Type Tasting’s interactive history of type through the medium of wine and gin.

It’s no surprise that this creative hub has a busy programme of events. Highlights include Viaduct’s show ‘Common Senses’, which will feature, among others, Ilse Crawford and Nani Marquina, and ‘Open House’, a pop-up by rental management company Hostmaker that will present craft demonstrations by local makers.

Stroll down the Grand Union Canal next to Paddington station, where you’ll ﬁnd a photography exhibition by the Royal College of Arts and a pop-up book pavilion by architecture ﬁrm Snøhetta.

The Festival is a melting pot for the best design from around the world – we shine a light on the big Italian brands’ celebrations

ITALIAN INVASION

M O LT E N I & C

POLIFORM

P O LT R O N A F R A U

Two designs will be previewed in London for the ﬁrst time at the brand’s showroom on Shaftesbury Avenue during the festival. Francesco Meda’s new ‘Woody’ chair will be exhibited alongside the reissue of Gio Ponti’s ‘Time & Life’ dining table, which was originally designed for Harrison & Abramovitz’s building of the same name in 1959. The event will be the last at Molteni & C’s current home before its moves to Brompton (molteni.it).

Head to its showroom on the King’s Road in Chelsea to see the latest collection, including work by long-time collaborator French architect JeanMarie Massaud, whose new pieces are inspired by the rejuvenated industrial area of Bellport, just outside New York. Also look out for the unveiling of Poliform’s collaboration with fashion and design school Istituto Marangoni London (poliform.it).

Joining in with the plethora of events happening across west London’s Brompton Design District, Poltrona Frau’s Fulham Road showroom will showcase the brand’s 2018 collection. The Italian leather expert’s new range, which includes furniture, lighting and accessories, explores the notion of lightness (poltronafrau.com).

MERIDIANI This year, the Brompton Design District welcomes Meridiani into the fold as the luxurious Italian brand oicially inaugurates its ﬂagship store in London. With a prime spot in front of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the new showroom is designed by Meridiani’s art director Andrea Parisio, who has been working with the company since its inception in 1996 (meridiani.it).

CALLIGARIS In celebration of its 95th anniversary, Calligaris has invited style authority and former ELLE Decoration Editor in Chief Michelle Ogundehin to curate its London showroom. The exhibit, titled ‘My Home’, will capture the company’s contemporary style while showing of the functionality and ﬂexibility of its furniture designs (calligaris.com).

CAPPELLINI British designer Jasper Morrison has been creating furniture for this Italian brand since establishing his design oice in 1986. To celebrate over 30 years of collaboration, Cappellini’s Clerkenwell showroom is hosting a retrospective of Morrison’s work, from his ‘Thinking Man’s Chair’ – spotted by Giulio Cappellini at Aram Store in 1987 – to his new ‘O-Cap’ chair (cappellini.it).

KARTELL

CASSINA

Three new Kartell products – the ‘Venice’ and ‘Catwalk’ chairs and the ‘Cara’ armchair – will be showcased alongside classics such as the ‘Louis Ghost’ chair (above) at its Brompton Road showroom in an exhibition called ‘Kartell Wander’. There will also be talks by Lorenza Luti, Kartell’s marketing and retail director, and designer Roberto Palomba, who created the brand’s collection for bathroom brand Laufen (kartell.com).

The brand’s Brompton showroom will welcome its 2018 collection, which is on show for the ﬁrst time in the UK. Pieces include the modular ‘Bowy-Sofa’ by art director Patricia Urquiola, ‘Ordinal’ tables, a new collaboration with Michael Anastassiades, and reissues of pieces by Frank Lloyd Wright and Vico Magistretti (cassina.com).

C L E A N S TA R T I’ve not had a bath in about three years, but before you judge (or run a mile), it is of course because I’m more of a shower person. Many people, I know, love a soak in the tub, and for some it’s an almost meditative experience, or even a chance to catch up on the latest boxset. Whatever your bathing preference, the bathroom is no longer simply a place to get clean and, as a result, the way we plan and decorate it goes beyond pure function. Forwardthinking brands are designing products which encourage us to use the bathroom as a living space and, far from the sometimes clinical looks of the past, materials, colour, texture and pattern are now as important here as in any other room in the house. Technology is still creeping in too, so whether you’re all for Wi-Fi while you wash, or you’d rather just relax with a luxury candle, we’ve rounded up the best ideas and bathroom innovations for you.

A PERFECT PATINA Extra-large tiles are often used to recreate the look of expensive or tricky-to-maintain natural stones such as marble, but the ‘Storie’ collection by Zanellato/Bortotto Studio for Cedit takes its cue from a diferent source. Looking to the walls of ageing buildings, the designers have created slabs replicating weathered paintwork and peeling plaster, evoking a sense of faded grandeur. From £146 per square metre, Domus (domusgroup.com).

SMALL WONDER ‘Torre Dee’ is the newest addition to The Albion Bath Company’s compact ‘Tubby’ collection. The 166cm-long tub ﬁts neatly to the wall, giving the illusion of a freestanding bath, but with a much smaller footprint. It’s available in gold, iron, bronze and polished pewter, or colours by Farrow & Ball and Dulux. From £2,650 (albionbathco.com).

Combining the look and feel of industrial-style bathroom fixtures with the sculpted lines you would find in more modern designs, the ‘Inciso’ collection by award-winning US architecture and design studio The Rockwell Group is a sleeker take on the chunky architectural trend. Manufactured by Italian brassware company Gessi, it comes in a range of finishes, including brass, black, nickel and bronze, and can be customised to suit individual schemes. From £555.60, CP Hart (cphart.co.uk).

BEHIND THE SCENES Taking the concept of bathroom cabinetry to the next level is the ‘DeKauri’ bathroom credenza by Italian furniture brand Riva 1920, solid surface manufacturer Cosentino and architect and designer Daniel Germani. Crafted from 50,000-year-old Kauri wood salvaged from New Zealand, the vanity conceals a basin, a mirror and lighting behind two doors decorated with marquetry. From £17,107 (riva1920.it). 11

Now, though, you can own a little bit of its interiors magic with this luxurious oil burner.

BATHING BELLES Queen of colour India Mahdavi isn’t one to shy away from a bold hue, and her second collection for Bisazza is as daring as one would expect. Her aim was to turn the bathroom into ‘a bubble of colour and humour’, an antidote to more clinical designs. The result is the joyfully named ‘Plouf ’ bathtub, ‘Splash’ sink,‘Wow’ mirror and ‘Bling’ taps, as well as these playful ‘Pinstripe’ mosaic tiles, all of which are available in uplifting shades of ‘Blueberry’, ‘Strawberry’ and ‘Pistachio’. Tiles from £317 per square metre ( bisazza.com).

TALL ORDER Memphis Group co-founder Matteo Thun and his now design partner Antonio Rodriguez are the brains behind ‘T Tower’, a new radiator concept from Italian heating specialists Antrax IT.

This Italian brand’s bespoke bathrooms are a combination of beauty, luxury and practicality

FOUR TO KNOW BOFFI’S HITS

‘Wood-In’ bathroom by Piero Lissoni Launched in 2016, this shows off Bofﬁ’s ﬂair for wood to great effect. It can be made with abonos oak (or bog oak), which has been naturally preserved underwater for millennia, giving it a rich patina and exceptional durability. From £18,000.

Earlier this year, Boi announced a new partnership with marble specialist Salvatori. One of the first creations from the collection is the ‘Floe’ marble washbasin by Keiji Takeuchi. Its organic form is a recurring theme in Boi’s bathroom ranges. ‘The design challenges the rule that the luxury of beauty does not correspond to functionality,’ says Takeuchi. In fact, this statement could stand for everything that Boi does. Founded in 1934 by Piero Boi, who left a career in the aircraft industry to start his own company, it was subsequently nurtured by his sons Dino, Pier Ugo and Paolo, who combined the latest technology with traditional handcrafting techniques. Today, the firm is headed by CEO Roberto Gavazzi, who stresses its role as a leader in design solutions, not just products. What makes Boi unique is its forward-thinking vision of bathrooms as dynamic living spaces. Architect Piero Lissoni, the brand’s art director since 1990, has described how its BOFFI’S VISION ‘alphabet of products’ can be used in endless OF BATHROOMS diferent ways. In 2016, the ‘Boi_Code’ concept was created to provide a top-level AS DYNAMIC bespoke design service – within this, existing LIVING SPACES collections are conceived as ‘open systems’ that can be calibrated as you choose. MAKES IT UNIQUE Boi’s first-ever bathroom collection, ‘Factory’ by Antonio Citterio and Paolo Nava (1980), set the template for its focus on intelligent storage. This quality is echoed in the new ‘Upper Wall’ bathroom by Piero Lissoni, which combines wood shelving with white marble. Oversized freestanding bathtubs are another speciality: these include the ‘Po’ by Claudio Silvestrin (1999), with its pebble shape, and Naoto Fukasawa’s pool-like ‘Terra’ (2006). As well as numerous products by global architects and designers, Boi has innovated by acquiring brands whose visions match its own. Furniture brand De Padova came on board in 2015, boosting the concept of the bathroom as living space, and last year, Boi added Danish storage brand MA/U Studio to the fold. Boi’s famous logo may date back to the 1950s, but in every other respect, it looks to the future. boffi.com 20

‘Pipe’ shower by Marcel Wanders The humble shower becomes a statement object in the hands of Dutch maverick Marcel Wanders, whose industrial-style design is pared-back, yet impossible to ignore. It gives a waterfall-style drenching and comes with a bright red handle. £4,640. ‘Faroe’ bathtub by Piero Lissoni Bofﬁ’s newest bathtub is made of the high-tech mineral-and-resin composite Cristalplant, which has thermal properties that help keep water hot, and a seductive, velvety-smooth feel. Price on application.

WORDS: AMY BRADFORD

‘L 14’ washbasin by Norbert Wangen With its extremely slender profile, this new design – which comes in white Carrara marble or Pietra d’Avola stone, and is inspired by the calming sight of water flowing over a flat pebble – is ideal for minimalist spaces. Price on application.

TECHNOLOGY /

SPACE-AGE SUSTAINABILITY Orbital Systems’ ingenious ‘OAS’ shower uses 90 per cent less water than conventional models. Its state-of-the-art closed loop puriﬁcation technology – developed by NASA for use in space – recirculates the same ﬁve to ten litres of clean water at the perfect temperature and pressure, making use of every single drop. £2,800 (orbital-systems.com).

FEEL RADIANT

The ‘UFO’ by Swedish ﬁrm Foreo gives you a Korean sheet mask facial in only 90 seconds. It uses heat and pulsations to relax your skin and aid absorption, plus LED light therapy to promote fast tissue healing. £250 ( foreo.com).

HIDDEN TALENTS Roca’s ‘Stratum-N’ wall-hung basin taps into one of this year’s key bathroom trends: connectivity. It blends contemporary styling with integrated technology, including interior LED lighting and Bluetooth wireless speakers (hidden under the soft-close drawer), allowing you to start your morning with your favourite podcast or playlist. From £2,614 (uk.roca.com).

WAT E R W O R K S The gentle contours of Toto’s ‘Flotation Tub’ ease aching limbs into a reclining position that creates a feeling of weightlessness. While you soak, the tub’s ‘Hydrohands’ jets – calibrated to provide a spiralling therapeutic massage – promote deep muscle relaxation, gently lifting your body as well as your spirits. £27,000, West One Bathrooms (westonebathrooms.com). 23

HOME SPA EXPERIENCE The ‘Small Size Personal Spa’ by Sieger is a modular wellness retreat that measures just six square metres. It can include everything from an invigorating Dornbracht horizontal shower (pictured) to touch-free basin taps and app-controlled LED lighting. If your bathroom is windowless, opt for digital screens that function as virtual vistas. From £30,000, West One Bathrooms (westonebathrooms.com).

SPARKLE & SHINE From meditation apps to sleep trackers, the latest technology can help us achieve almost any wellness goal. Now, even electric toothbrushes are getting seriously smart. The futuristic Dentii ‘Electric’ (shown here in ‘Rose Gold’) uses 3D motion sensors to map your mouth, noting brushing paths and pressure. The app then scores your technique out of 100 and coaches you to improve your oral health. From £80 (dentii.co.uk).

THE ART OF HYGIENE

Combining Swiss efficiency with a simple, pared back design, Laufen’s ‘Cleanet Riva’ is one of the sleekest shower-toilets we’ve seen, ofering easy-toprogram user proﬁles and a wide range of user-friendly, intuitive modes. There’s even an integrated self-cleaning function. £3,990 (laufen.co.uk).

Bluetooth speaker by Ultimate Ears isn’t just water resistant – it’s waterproof to IPX7 standards. That means you can take it into the shower or bath (it ﬂoats) to enjoy up to ten hours of 360-degree audio from the USB chargeable battery. £69, AO (ao.com). 24

Be brave and use a juicy hue across an entire bathroom for a look guaranteed to incite get-up-and-go, or try a softer, cinnamon shade to evoke the calm of a Moroccan spa.

THE BIG IDEA

EXPERT GUIDE MASTER THE ART OF MARBLE

Architect Mike Rundell of Rundell Associates’ advice on choosing and using marble There’s definitely a move towards strong-veined marble, or varieties formed of large fragments bound together with smaller particles, known as breccia. Bookmatching has also become popular – the drama of this kind of seamless pattern is unachievable with any other material. Large marble patterns have the presence to fill bigger areas, so, if budget allows, use it to wrap around an entire room. In smaller spaces, delicate veining is better suited. If your budget is tighter, make a basin surround from the best marble you can aford and carry the stone up the wall to the ceiling in order to create a really strong architectural element. Good value marbles are Fior di Bosco, which is grey with fine veins of gold, white and orange, and the silvery-green Verde Antigua. Grigio Billiemi looks great, too, and costs less than other varieties. Pietra di Vicenza Grigio has very delicate figuring, ideal when pattern needs to be kept to a minimum. Take care when bookmatching. We photograph every panel and spend a long time working out the best layout. Ask your installer to use a glue joint rather than grout, which will create a wider line and destroy the rhythm of the stone. If you’re sourcing marble, Livra (livra.co.uk) and MGLW (mglw.co.uk), both London-based yards, have good quantities of stock. Alternatively, McMarmilloyd (mcmarmilloyd.co.uk) in Great Bedwyn, Wiltshire has some of the best marble in the UK. Visit Stone Circle (stone-circle.com) in Basingstoke, Hampshire if you want your stone worked into amazing shapes. Expensive stone can be ruined by an inexperienced installer, so always check their previous work. I use Stone Circle, or Stone Age (stone-age.co.uk) in London.

1THE THEATR IC AL BATHROOM ASHLEY HICKS, INTERIOR DESIGNER

Following in his father David Hicks’ footsteps, globally renowned British interior designer Ashley Hicks is known for his use of intricate patterns and eclectic designs. His award-winning interiors projects are instantly recognisable, as are his fabric, furniture and carpet collections This is in my London apartment or ‘set of chambers’ in Albany, Piccadilly. The bathroom is miniscule, cut from the original 1803 dressing room in this gentleman’s pied-a-terre. When I moved in, I discovered that my father had blocked up the small window over the loo because of the ugly view – he rather loathed daylight anyway – so I, of course, opened it up again. I decided to make the space bright and airy, in contrast to this dark brown bathing area. I wanted to create a sort of glamorous, Caribbean treasure cave. To make it feel bigger, because it’s so tiny, I painted the walls and the ceiling a dark peat brown, and covered one entire wall in mirror. Now, the angled doorway forms a pointed arch, perfectly framing the turquoise and sand-coloured space beyond. Sitting in the bath feels like you’re resting in the shade with a view out to the clear sky and a sandy beach beyond – that’s the idea, at least! The bath is the most important thing in any home of mine because I like to lie in it and read for hours. The idea was also to turn the room into a ‘bath museum’ by covering the walls with glass, which is reverse printed with my pictures of treasures from the Louvre in Paris and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. All of the images are fitted into a virtual collector’s cabinet, and the colours of each were adjusted so that they work well with the turquoise in the adjoining room. The exhibits are all quite amusing and lovely to look at. There are pictures of wonderful ink blocks, originally from the Summer Palace in Beijing, for example, and each has a label naming the room for which it was made, such as the ‘Chamber for Writing about Beautiful Stones’. It feels very luxurious to be surrounded by so many beautiful things. The bath has a shelf made of white Corian along the righthand side, for resting my cup of tea and telephone. The tub is a ‘Bette Classic’, always. Bette makes the most comfortable baths. I simply cannot abide a tub set beneath a marble top – it’s never comfortable for the neck and takes up far too much space. The panel of laser-cut wood on the side spells ‘musaem’ – the original term for museum, and the home of The Muses of Ancient Greece. I shower every morning and have a Hansgrohe rain shower, which is perfect. The loo is always Philippe Starck for Duravit – again, just right. The washbasin has to have an ‘Axor Starck’ tap by Philippe Starck for Hansgrohe, which is the best. I loathe fake antique bath fittings – there’s nothing more hideous and absurd. They should be as simple as possible, unless, of course, you can aford really beautiful old ones that actually work. I painted the cabinet by hand in a sort of 1930s-style random grid using colours picked from the travertine flooring, and there are a couple of good vertical lights beside the mirror. My favourite bath products include a tray from The Lacquer Company and towels and a bathrobe from Frette. I also use the ‘Opiat Dentaire’ toothpaste in ‘Mint, Coriander and Cucumber’ by Buly 1803, which my lovely wife always brings back from her trips to Paris for me. ashleyhicks.com ➤ 46

2 TH E NATU RAL BATH ROOM TOM RAFFIELD, PRODUCT DESIGNER

British furniture and lighting designer Tom Raffield uses a unique steam-bending method that allows him to create a range of elegant pieces from a variety of woods. He and wife Danielle bought a 19th-century gamekeeper’s cottage in Cornwall and completely reinvented it in his signature style I definitely prefer a shower to a bath, and, in the morning, when it comes to the bathroom, I’m an in-and-out person. The alarm goes of at six, and I usually head downstairs to have a speedy workout on my rowing machine before I have my cofee. When my children are awake, they tend to join in with me – there are lots of attempts at headstands and press-ups, which I would imagine is hilarious to watch. In the evening, when I’m not in such a hurry, I do spend a bit more time in the bathroom. My wife Danielle and I tried to design the bathroom so as to make it future-proof. Once you’ve got kids, it has to be a communal, functional space, but we also wanted it to be relaxing for us too. Space planning was important, to make sure we could fit all five of us in there if needs be – three kids in the bath, plus room to brush teeth and read a story. Wood for us was the perfect choice. A natural material that would be hard-wearing and durable was our main priority, and we loved the idea of having a bathroom reminiscent of a Nordic spa. It also reminds me of a sauna, which adds to the Scandinavian vibe. Wood has such an amazing warmth, both aesthetically and in relation to temperature retention. Large sheets might noticeably warp or distort when subjected to heat or humidity, but our cladding is made up of individual pieces that can move independently – we haven’t had any trouble so far! The panelling in the bathroom is made from spalted beech, sweet chestnut, ash, beech and Norwegian spruce. It all came from our own woodland here at the workshops, so we weren’t overly precious about it. We haven’t treated it, apart from the area next to the basin, where we used ‘Natural Oil Woodstain’ by Osmo to make it more water-resistant. The floorboards were finished with a wash of ‘Hard Wax Oil’ by Fiddes. Everything dried really quickly thanks to the underfloor heating. The main thing to consider when using wood is to balance it with materials that add contrast, but don’t overpower it. A concrete basin works well with the muted tones and brings in a great masculine edge. This one is by an amazing Australian brand, Wood Melbourne, which we were lucky enough to meet at a trade show while we were building the house. We ended up using lots of its fixtures, as they’re handmade and crafted to a high quality. The taps are Wood Melbourne too – we love the sleek, geometric design. We also included one of our own ‘Urchin’ pendant lights. I built the storage, which is pretty basic but functional. Not having a door on the front of the bespoke vanity unit means it’s easy to find things quickly. We also installed our ‘Coat Loop’, which is a great place to hang wet towels and robes after use – just throw them straight over the steam-bent hoop to dry. The best thing about working with wood is that, because it’s a natural material, each piece is different, challenging and individual. I can never get bored. Steam bending the wood makes it even more unique. Each time it turns out diferently, and it’s incredibly joyous to experiment with. tomraffield.com ➤ 48

3 TH E C LAS S I C BATH ROOM MARTIN BRUDNIZKI, INTERIOR DESIGNER

Swedish-born interior designer Martin Brudnizki splits his time between studios in London and New York. Specialising in restaurants, bars, hotels and private clubs, he has created iconic interiors around the world including at The Ivy, Sexy Fish and Annabel’s, as well as Soho House Miami I’m a morning person and tend to rise at around 5.30am. I always start with an espresso before going to the gym. Doing exercise in the morning helps me get into the right frame of mind for the rest of the day. Once back and showered, I’ll spend an hour answering emails before heading to my studio for around 8.30am. I had to be quite savvy when designing my bathroom as it’s such a small space. Storage was a key factor, and recessed shelves in the shower are perfect for holding bottles and accessories. I incorporated a freestanding double vanity unit, but with just one basin so there’s a huge expanse of marble for placing lotions and potions. It sits on a frame, which creates the illusion of space, then I have large baskets for towels to make use of the area underneath. I love marble and incorporate it into every interior I design. In my bathroom, I covered every inch in two tones of grey marble tiles. The walls and bath are clad in rectangles, whereas on the floor I created a break with a honeycomb pattern. I like how a simple material in an understated shade can have such a striking efect. It’s like being cocooned in a cave and feels very serene. It was important for me to create a space that felt private and calming, and soft lighting and a minimal palette of materials helped to achieve this. The bespoke pendant light fills the room with a warm glow, and wall lights either side of the mirror illuminate your reflection. This is the only space in my home that doesn’t have artwork or pops of colour, but the simplicity works. I’ve been working on the Drummonds by And Objects (Martin’s product design studio, which he co-founded with long-term friend Nicholas Jeanes) collaboration for a number of years now. We’ve been steadily adding to the bathroom collection that includes two bathtubs, a vanity unit, mirror, lighting and taps. Pieces take inspiration from the classical design style Drummonds is so well known for, but we’ve given them a uniquely And Objects twist by incorporating ergonomic lines and sleek metal finishes. The new ‘Bestwood’ collection of taps and mixers is quirky yet elegant, and was inspired by traditional joinery and plumbing. I believe we’re spending more time in our bathrooms, so they need to function as additional living spaces. This means including personal touches, such as seating and plants, that give a room life. Practical accessories such as baskets add personality without making a bathroom feel cluttered. I like to decant liquid soap into brass soap dispensers and display skincare on a brass tray. One thing a bathroom should always have is a mirror. Not just for obvious reasons, but because it’s a great way to increase light and create the illusion of a bigger space. My advice when designing a bathroom would be to ensure your layout makes sense from the start. Work out where each item should be and check that the space flows – an ill-thought-out bathroom doesn’t make for a relaxing experience. At this stage, also think about whether hooks are in the right place, so you can grab a towel comfortably when you get out of the shower. It’s the little things that make your daily life easier. mbds.com 50
