I've got a bit of a thing for chairs

When I think of my favorite pieces by a designer they are almost always chairs. Which is probably why one of my favorite designers of all time is the Danish architect and designer Arne Jacobsen. That man knew how to make a beautiful chair. You have probably all seen The Seven and The Ant which are among the most selling, and most copied, chairs of all time. Many of Jacobsens designs are still in production by Fritz Hansen, and they recently started making my favorite again, the 1955 Grand Prix. I do prefer it in its original version though, in a teak finish with wooden legs. One day...

Happy Easter

Every fortnight I do the window display in this wonderful garden and interiors shop in Bath called Grasse. It is owned by the lovely Jo, and stocks some wonderful and unique products. Above are the Easter windows I did for her recently. I always do one indoor and one outdoor window. The beautiful backdrop is by Kuboaa, a Bath based wallpaper company.

Winter Olympics at Bang & Olufsen

These images are from an event I recently styled for Bang & Olufsen in Bath. They wanted a chalet feel to their showroom to coincide with the Winter Olympics. The deadline was very short but thanks to the generosity of local businesses that lent me some lovely props, I managed to pull it off in time.  B&O was very happy with the result and had lots of good feedback, which is great. I’m currently working on some new designs for their windows.

Thanks to Grasse, Vinegar Hill, Brigitte Jennewein and Instant Vintage for lending me props.

The inspiration of home

Scandinavian design and landscape is where I find a lot of my inspiration. The light, the colours, the way of living, the use of materials and textures, was all part of my growing up, and what made me want to be an interior designer from a very young age. Many years later and I'm just getting started, and this blog is a chance to share not only the things I have already achieved as a designer, but also my inspirations, the things I love, and the people I admire.

Hope you enjoy what I have to offer.
