Welcome to the 2017 edition of the Interior

Design Yearbook, the consumer edition. We
continue our partnership with the British
Institute of Interior Design for 2017 with
another beautiful collection of design projects
and aspirational designer commentary, written
by professionals for you our dedicated readers.
Susie Rumbold once again opens the book
with her foreword, her last as BIID President
as Charles Leon prepares to take the seat
over at the Institute. Susie has done a wonderful job in her time
as President and it has been a pleasure having her contribute to
the book. Her brilliant work will continue at BIID and her own
design practice.
Tom Raffield provides us with an insight into his world in his
introduction. Toms star has already risen but his propulsion into
designer of the time is all but cemented with his airtime on
Channel 4s Grand Designs. Tom designed and built his own home,
bringing together his love of craft and his penchant for steam-bent
wood. When it comes to starting a fresh in the industry, Tom
believes that you should just put pen to paper and get designing.
Dont let anything hold you back. I think this is a great mantra for
most things in life, but particularly with design, we should not be
discouraged by a worry about expense or the root to success, but
instead should focus on the craft and great ideas that stem from
true creative thinking. If youre considering a route into interior
design, take a look at the Getting Started chapter where you will
see advice and information from educators and experts in the field.
The wonderful designers who have contributed to this edition, have
pulled out all the stops to write chapters full of engaging
information, sure to fill your heads with ideas and offer solutions
to all your design dilemmas. Enjoy the 2017 edition.

FOREWORD
2017
INTERIOR
DESIGN
YEARBOOK
Foreword: Susie Rumbold

President, British Institute of Interior Design
he Interior Design
Yearbook is a leading
source of inspiration, a
predictor of interior trends and a
showcase for Brand Britain.
If youre interested in redesigning
your home yourself or you wish to
commission an interior designer to
help you, it is always good to have
a clear vision of your likes and
dislikes before you start. As well as
providing inspiration for all rooms
of the home, the Interior Design
Yearbook will hopefully inspire you
to see things differently and give
you greater confidence to pursue
what you really want.
After the rise in stamp duty last
year, the UK housing market has
seen a rise in home renovations, as
homeowners choose to expand and
increase their property instead of
moving. As well as boosting a
propertys value, renovating a
home can help improve the
propertys energy efficiency,
reducing running costs in the longterm. Interior designers have the
vision and competency to redesign
a space or home exactly to your
needs and requirements.
The last 12 months has seen a
marked rise in the use of smart

home technology as it becomes
more expected in the built
environment. Now a common
household phrase, smart home
technology is no longer the
preserve of the super rich. Today,
more homeowners are looking to
install smart home technology,
whether by purchasing smart
kitchen applicances, intellegent
lighting systems or voice controlled
services, such as Amazons Alexa.
Over the last decade or so, the field
of interior design has expanded
exponentially. Its practice now
requires a detailed working
knowledge of health and safety,
building regulations, sustainability,
acoustics, lighting and technology.
Interior designers can provide a
whole host of things that
homeowners struggle to do
themselves. We can make sure the
space works, often in ways that the
homeowner would never have
thought of. We can then take the
planned space and layer on all the
technical stuff like lighting, power
and heating, and specify all the
finishes and furnishings to an
agreed budget.
Entrusted with the very personal

job of designing a home for a
clients personal taste, the
professional integrity of interior
designers is imperative. In March
2016, the British Institute of
Interior Design (BIID) adopted the
protected professional title, BIID
Registered Interior Designer, as a
way for consumers to identify
designers who have met the BIIDs
rigorous professional standards.
This exciting introduction has been
warmly welcomed by both the
RIBA and the IFI (International
Federation of Interior
Architects/Designer s).
The Interior Design Yearbook
2017 is an essential guide to some
of the countrys most respected
and influential designers and their
work. For those interested in the
industry, this is your peerless guide
to the latest trends, styles, colours
and products, as well as offering a
wealth of advice on a diverse range
of subjects. It is a showcase for new
and established talent, creative
concepts and an amazing resource
for suppliers. We hope it brings you
an insight into the wonderful world
of British design.

INTRODUCTION
2017
INTERIOR
DESIGN
YEARBOOK
Introduction: Tom Raffield

Founder, Tom Raffield
s a young student looking

in on the design industry
it all seemed like a very
confusing and complex world, a
blend of ever changing designs (or
regurgitations of what came
before), disengagement with the
story behind the product, and a
focus on driving profit to succeed.
Although this was clearly an
industry I did not fully
comprehend, I was determined to
find my own way, by trying to
make a difference to the world
surrounding me by creating
something unique. Using my
hands and making things seemed
like the best and only way I could
achieve this.
At college I was eager to discover
and explore as many different
design philosophies and processes
while I had the chance. It was
here my obsession with sustainably
sourced wood and the eco-friendly
process of steam bending began.
After a while I developed my own
techniques for bending wood,
which brought many of my
furniture and lighting ideas to life.
Finally I felt I had found a way
of expressing myself in the same
way an artist would use

pencil and paper.
Over the years our product range
and business has developed but
this ethos has remained the same:
to create unique products that are
handmade in Cornwall, England,
using sustainably sourced
materials. So rather than tr ying to
understand how the design
industry worked we stuck to what
we knew and loved, and set about
carving out our own place within
the community.
We became obsessed with
meaningful manufacturing and
where our products came from
Handmade in England and
Grown in Britain timber are still
central to everything we do. We
concentrated on quality
craftsmanship. We asked if our
products were useful and durable,
and so have a long and purposeful
life. From the aesthetic to the
sustainable principles and
techniques we adopt, everything
we do comes back to being
inspired by nature.
I truly believe that sustainability
should be synonymous with good
design, much like quality and
function are, and that this is the

answer to over-consumption and
the environmental challenges we
face. Its fantastic to see consumer
expectations changing to recognise
this too and I hope sustainable
design principles will become
more widely adopted by leading
designers as time goes on.
Thanks to consumers and makers,
the design industry is slowly being
turned on its head and its an
exciting thing to be a part of.
Budding designers are now finding
their own way of communicating,
making, and selling products
direct to the consumer and such
opportunities are allowing our
creativity to flourish.
Like how I started, from a shed in
my back garden, you no longer
need to have financial or industry
backing, but rather a good idea
and product backed up by as
much passion, energy and
determination as you can muster.
Its all about making meaningful
products that people will cherish.
And thats what we need more of.

WAREHOUSE REVIVAL
10 Hubert is a triplex penthouse designed by ODA New York for a
five-storey Romanesque revival warehouse in NYCs TriBeCa
neighborhood. The building has had several dramatically different
incarnations throughout its life: It was commissioned by a liquor
merchant in 1982, later taken over by a pistachio baron, then
occupied in recent years by an artist who let it fall derelict. The
current owner bought it on eBay, choosing ODA to redevelop it as
apartments and a storefront, an enterprise that involved restoring
the facade, constructing a 1,000 square foot pavilion on the and
combining that pavilion with the two original top levels to create a
14,000 square foot triplex in which the owner could live.
Aesthetically, the space is deliberately restrained in colour and
finishes. Doors and window frames are painted grey, grey/white
slabs of French marble covers the bathroom and dark
maple-veneered cabinetry has been chosen for the kitchen.
A wall of folding glass doors opens the top floor entertaining
space to the terrace, providing unobstructed sight lines.
10 Hubert Street, TriBeCa North Historic District, New York, USA,

CHARACTER DRIVEN DESIGN

Maisha Design was approached by the clients to redesign their
three-bedroom London riverside residence into an apartment full
of character and with an edge to the interiors. Being their second
home, they were eager to create a unique and bold interior to suit
its location and the actual building using a variety of materials.
The interior is therefore distinguished by beautiful bespoke
furniture with an emphasis on the use of natural materials such
as brass, copper, wood and horn throughout. To elevate the
apartment, Maisha chose a striking colour palette throughout
which is stunningly complemented by the clients extensive
art collection.

KITCHEN SPOTLIGHT
The kitchen of this impressive stucco fronted property in Belsize
Park would have formed the reception room when originally built. As
a result, it benefits from impressively high ceilings of 3.8m and
beautifully ornate cornicing and a ceiling rose, together with a
fireplace as the central feature. The client wished to adapt this
stately room into a large kitchen and dining area to suit their lifestyle
yet still allow this space to feel like a room and not specifically like a
kitchen. In addition they wanted to incorporate their love of modern
materials like metal, timber and marble into the space whilst
ensuring that it functions efficiently. The natural progress for
Roselind Wilson Design was to allow for a banquette seating area in
the beautiful bay window. This would maximise the seating space
and allow for a stunning oval marble table set against a strong black
and white striped fabric for the bespoke bench.
This Belsize Park dining area was designed by

Roselind Wilson Design and completed in May 2016.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

Broomwood, designed by Minale + Mann, has a light industrial touch,
fusing together exposed steel and metal finishes, with soft calming
interior tones. The project involved a completely new internal
configuration of this Victorian Terrace. Key features include a steel
ribbon floating staircase leading from the ground floor to a newly
built basement, internal and external light voids and, a zinc clad
bespoke study and cloakroom that doubles as the kitchen island.

A PLACE TO ENTERTAIN
This clients Tower Bridge riverside three bedroom lateral apartment
is situated in the famous and listed Butlers Wharf building with
beautiful exposed brick and characteristic cast iron windows.
Situated on the third floor, it has a stunning view of Tower Bridge,
which is just 200 metres away, and provides the perfect backdrop
for a Maisha interior design. The clients wanted their London home
to be a place for entertaining their family and friends, a space that
was exciting and spectacular where they could be very comfortable.
The project took one year to complete and included a full
reconfiguration of the floor plan, electrical plan and bespoke
furniture and finishes. This project was shortlisted in the 2016 UK
Property Awards in the Best London apartment category.

HOME AWAY FROM HOME

TG Studio was tasked to reimagine this 1970s two bedroom
apartment near Buckingham Palace for a Hong Kong based family.
The brief was to create a thoroughly British feel to the property. The
end result is a stunning home away from home. The apartment was
completely stripped back to a bare shell before being reconfigured
to suit modern life. A generous entrance foyer separates the
entertaining and private spaces, with the two large bedrooms
sharing a secluded study area in the hallway. TG Studio replaced the
dated kitchen with an elegant and functional white kitchen. Warm
tones and varying textures were used throughout the master
bedroom to create a cozy, inviting space perfect for relaxing. A clever
reconfiguration of the master suite allowed TG Studio to create a
new walk-in wardrobe incorporating bespoke joinery handcrafted in
London. The calm and relaxed master bathroom features a wide
double vanity recessed into the wall and is surrounded by edge-lit
glass in British racing green. Clean lines flow throughout both
bathrooms, each with concealed storage behind the mirrors and
fittings from Waterworks provide a timeless luxury to the space.

DESIGN, PERIOD.
Studio Duggans brief was to create an inspiring, warm and
characterful family house for their client. With style inspirations
ranging from Gothic to Art Deco, Tuscan to English Country, the
client didnt want to be slave to one period but instead a mix of
influences creating a very personal aesthetic. They also favoured
drama and contrast and wanted to achieve an exciting
juxtaposition of light and dark, new and old. Studio Duggan worked
very closely with their client to find a happy balance. Beautiful,
dark moody rooms were created as well as light relief in daytime
spaces honing the different styles into one cohesive look creating
the DNA of the Charmwood project.
Charmwood, Radlett, Hertfordshire, was designed by Studio

Duggan and completed in October 2016.

CITY BACKDROP
The exclusive Dollar Bay development is located on the Isle of Dogs,
overlooking Canary Wharf set against the backdrop of the city and its
iconic buildings. Mount Anvil commissioned Suna Interior Design to
create the interior specification design for the one, two and three
bedroom apartments and a striking show apartment. The concept
behind the interior design was to capture a luxurious and
aspirational lifestyle. Inspiration was drawn from the cosmopolitan
and dynamic feel of the city and the building itself: its unique and
exquisite design with an angled and faceted exterior, combined with
the tranquillity of the waterside location. The clean lines and dynamic
linear quality were features the designers wanted to utilise for the
interior specification. The palette is a mix of white and tones of grey
with a clever use of lighting and materials to enhance it. For the show
home, a moody palette and berry shades bringing seductive, warm
colours to the scheme, contrasting with the steely blues and greys of
the exterior landscape. Brass, copper and metallics add contrast and
shimmer to the darker tones. There is a linear architectural quality to
the contemporary furniture. All of the pieces have a high-end, Italian
designer feel resulting in a rich, luxurious design.

HOUSE AMBITIONS
Studio Duggan completed the refurbishment of Hogarth House, a
three-bedroom, double fronted Georgian faade house located in
Hampstead Heath, North London. A neutral colour palette running
through the house pulls everything together and has allowed Studio
Duggan to emphasise a plethora of different textures and finishes
and unexpected touches. These include horse hair lampshades,
Julian Chichester gesso floor lamps, stunning hand painted silk
botanical wallpaper by Tatiana Tafur in the master bedroom and
gold, metallic finish kitchen units, leathered stone and a poured
beton cire concrete floor resulting in an overall eclectic interior style.
During the refurbishment the opportunity arose to purchase the
house next door, which was previously part of the same stable
block, with the two houses connected by a central courtyard. The
client jumped at the chance and Studio Duggan are now in the
process of Stage 2, reinstating and connecting both houses.

BLURRING THE LINES

The complete renovation of a Grade II listed, 19th century NeoGeorgian town house has resulted in an exquisitely crafted,
contemporary classic that blurs the lines between old and new.
The reconfigured interiors incorporate a sub-basement with an
impressive gym and wellness area, three reception rooms, five
bedrooms, exterior terraces, as well as a media room and garage.
Cutting-edge architectural features draw light into the heart of the
house with a glass bridge and central glass lightwell; while in the
reception rooms the existing period details were the starting point
for the richly detailed design scheme. The considered use of
materials was hugely important in the sensitive integration of the
spaces, explains Staffan Tollgard. A consistent palette of
materials was used to eliminate the thresholds that are clearly
there between the old and new parts of the house and between
the many different levels.

ADDING VOLUME
Landmass London has completed an entirely unique, dimensiondefying property on Ladbroke Grove, Notting Hill, for its Managing
Director, Alan Waxman. Bought during a meeting at the exclusive
Mayfair club, Annabels, 76 Ladbroke Grove was a 622 sq ft end of
terrace, WWII bombsite ripe for conversion. Today, the five-bedroom
home has increased in size five-fold and is an impressive 3,280 sq
ft set across five storeys. Featuring a light-filled double basement
the height of two double-decker buses, complete with gym and
media room, 76 Ladbroke Grove signifies the end of an era; it is one
of the last projects of its kind in light of the planning permission
regulation restrictions being implemented in the Royal Borough of
Kensington & Chelsea on basement excavations. Likened to a
Tardis, 76 Ladbroke Grove offers a sense of space and light which,
from the outside, does not look possible, something, which
Landmass London specialises in. Landmass London places every
importance in maximising a propertys space, using lightwells and
roof glazing to ensure that lights flows to every corner; this type of
design, known as Volumetric Design has been developed by Alan
Waxman and is his registered trademark style.

RESTORE AND RENOVATE

This first floor South Kensington apartment was bought as a
Gentleman's residence for a renowned London restaurateur and
entrepreneur. The existing condition was poor but after discussions
with the owner, the Shed team purposefully set about with a
programme of renovation and restoration before even
contemplating interior decor. The 'bones' of the apartment are
strong, with a great frontage affording views of one of London's
great garden squares. Time however had taken its toll since the last
refurbishment in the late 1970's and decay had set in. The clients
brief was first and foremost a delicate renovation to protect the
existing architectural features and present a solid base for
decoration and furnishing. The apartment was thoroughly stripped
out and painstakingly restored using specialist fibrous plaster
mouldings to seamlessly blend damaged ceilings with the new.
Windows were removed, re-commissioned with new ropes, pulls and
latches. Floors were repaired and soundproofed to offer as little
decibel transfer as possible between floors. The interiors were styled
in muted tones of grey with pops of black and copper colours.

create an interior design that would pay homage to this beautiful,
leafy location in West London, and appeal to the potential
purchasers who will most likely be young families, European or city
first and second time buyers as well as those who are downsizing

BRINGING THE OLD INTO THE NEW

Tempted by its large grounds, stately rooms and kerb appeal, the
clients here fell in love with this striking Victorian villa in Tunbridge
Wells, and made their move from London in 2014. The refurbished
and extended house now provides two grand receptions rooms; a
large kitchen and dining space, which opens onto the garden; plus a
study, a utility room and a garage. Upstairs, there are five bedrooms
and three bathrooms all accessed from a light-filled stairwell. The
cellar has become a playroom, wine store, occasional bedroom and
plantroom. The main living room overlooks the garden through
enormous floor-to-ceiling sash windows. A large marble fireplace has
been restored and the room is now tailored to its proportions. In the
main hall the boxed stairs have been concealed within joinery
panelling. This also hides a mirrored drinks cabinet, a door to the
cellar and masses of storage. Set into this panelling is a recessed
day bed and bookshelf. This has transformed the space, restoring
its grand proportions, while creating the perfect winter sitting room,
with log fire, dramatic dark paintwork and huge chandelier.

enhanced by the use of traditional fabrics and finishes. Relaxed
linens add a bohemian beauty when teamed with plush velvets.
The original wooden floors are softened with contemporary rugs

Grade II listed Georgian property had been converted into offices, its
original internal features having been stripped out in the process.
1508 London's brief was to transform the space into contemporary

details of the buildings heritage. Details such as bespoke white
lacquer wall panelling add character to the space, reintroducing
classical architectural details in a contemporary manner. A fresh,
neutral colour palette keeps the interior modern and creates a
contrast against the traditional parquet wooden floor and the dark
Bardiglio marble staircase feature by Fior di Bosco. While each

Co-Founder, Olive Design Studio
Lucy Clark and Katie Singleton set up Olive Design Studio, London, in 2012. With their collective 16
years experience in the interior design industry they have created an exciting, fresh, new generation
architectural interior design company working on a range of luxury residential and commercial interior
design schemes. Olive Design Studio style offers a unique fusion of Lucy and Katies design skills, which
have evolved over more than a decade working in the UK and abroad on significant, high-end projects.
They offer a tailor made design service to create a perfect space that is individual to their clients needs
and aspirations, while paying attention to detail, ensuring budgets are efficiently managed, often adding
significant value to the property. Armed with their little olive book of leading architects, contractors,
sub-contractors and suppliers, together with their team, Lucy and Katie personally oversee all projects
from concept right through to completion, effectively delivering a high end, high quality, bespoke interior
style that meets the requirements and standards of today while reflecting their core values of timeless
elegance. Here, Lucy talks about the balance of good interior architecture.
e have just started

working on a stunning
30,000 sq. ft. family
estate in Sunningdale. There are
two houses on the estate for
different purposes for the family
but it is so important there is
synergy between the two.
Having an understanding between
the architect and interior designer
is vital as key architectural
elements need to be represented
inside, respecting the period
integrity as well as understanding
where the structural elements are
which cannot be altered. We are
also working with landscape
designer Chris Beardshaw to
ensure the interior respects the
exterior palette and features.
Due to high stamp duty prices we
are finding a lot of our clients are
staying put in their current homes
Above: Eaton Place, designed by Olive Design Studio
INTERIOR ARCHITECTURE
Above: Crittal is making a comeback

and renovating to achieve an
increased sq. ft. to suit their needs.
This is a challenge in itself to
ensure their brief is maintained
with a sympathetic eye to the
existing architecture both interior
and exterior.
We would always take a clear
brief from the client and visit
their property to get a true sense
of the space. Establishing your
budget is key so we usually bring
QS on board very early on to
draw up a 'wish list' for discussion
to avoid disappointment further
down the line.
When we embarked on our first
negotiations on our 30,000 sq ft
family estate we took a very refined
brief from our client. He was very
specific about what he wanted to
achieve, explained his background,
where he had lived, influences and
how he wanted to maintain a
work/life balance with the tw o
properties. We have therefore
separated his work life into one
house creating a whole floor
dedicated to him with floors above
and below for guests and staff. The
family home will have a much
more relaxed, private feel, tailoring
every space to his familys lifestyle.
Even the dog!
It is so important to get the right
team on board from the very
beginning. An architect with a
good knowledge of listed buildings

and good relationship with
planners/council is vital. It is
always useful to get a pre-app to
ensure our ideas are realistic before
getting your hopes up. It is also so
important to work with architects
who are very familiar with the
surrounding area and therefore
understand and respect the period
integrity and how far one can push
the boundaries with a sympathetic
approach.
In London we are just amazed at
the amount of development that is
still taking place and enriching our
economy, creating jobs and
innovative architecture.
We love looking at London's
skyline and seeing such a diverse
mixture of old and new
architecture; this is reflected in the
interior and we recognise that
more and more clients are
requesting that 'bespoke' interior,
constantly tr ying to push
boundaries. With my history of
art and architecture degree and
Katie's media production
background, we always have a
keen interest in retaining,
enhancing and understanding
period features. In one of our first
projects, Eaton Place in Belgravia,
we respected the period integrity,
enhanced it with beautiful
intricate fireplaces and decorative
antique chandeliers but added a

twist with retro floor lamps by
Serge Moullie, stained the floors
jet black shellac and added very
minimal Italian fur niture from
Minotti and B&B Italia.
When thinking about advice for
clients who are at the beginning of
their design journey with regards
to a complete remodel of an
interior, I would always say to have
a sympathetic eye for the property
you have invested in. from there
you can update, add in tech and
redesign, with an appreciation of
the core of the property. One
example is to add a more
intelligent lighting and music
system and air conditioning, which
is discrete and sympathetic to the
architecture. We usually advise
clients to re-wire up to CAT 6 to
future proof their property,
particularly developers so the end
user can add a bespoke AV system
without interfering with c hasing
walls/opening up ceilings! We try
and disguise AC in coffer ceiling
details or joinery specifying
discrete grills which mould into the
interior architecture.
Thinking ahead to 2017, we have
to say Crittal will be a continued
feature in the New Year. It seems
to be making a big comeback.

JOO BOTELHO
Trend: Spatial Design

By Joo Botelho
Founder, Casa Botelho
Before founding Casa Botelho, Joo Botelho enjoyed a 22-year career in global luxury retail, beginning
his journey in sales for a prestigious Brazilian brand in his hometown, Belo Horizonte. With the ambition
to explore the world and travel, he decided to move to Europe in 1994, making London his new home.
Since then he has worked for Harvey Nichols, Nicole Farhi and Jasper Conran and Donna Karan New
York. Joao's obsession for homeware and passion for styling has led him to discover his desire for
interiors and furniture design. Casa Botelho is part interior design practice, part the most fabulous home
in London and part furniture design. Joao offers an interior decorating and design service, with
adaptable and flexible plans to dress your home and address your needs. In March 2016, Casa Botelho
launched its debut luxury furniture range, The Martini Collection. Recently, Casa Botelho has launched
further new luxurious ranges, including The Bacco, The Diana and The Hide collections. Each piece is a
reflection of understated luxury, the collection focuses on craftsmanship, quality and poised elegance.
Here, Joo discusses balancing creativity within the reality of a home setting.
n the last 10 years suppliers

costs have risen (since the last
recession), and their lead-in
times have generally lengthened.
This makes it increasingly
difficult to coordinate beautiful
spaces on time and on budget,
albeit there may be some market
correction to these issues in the
coming months/y ears. This has
meant that designers have had to
adjust to keep their clients
expectatins on a level and so to,
clients have learned that there is a
long line of suppliers, designers
and companies, whose work can
effect their needs as a consumer.
With these changes occurring it is
important for me as a designer to
have and maintain the skills to
interrogate and transgress the
boundaries of residential interior
design. It is crucial in my eyes,

SPATIAL DESIGN
particularly when it comes to
spatial planning. There are plenty
of techniques for creating
illusions in a space that visually
make it appear either larger or
smaller. To accomplish that you
have to consider the entire
volume of space available and
decide how the space should look
and feel.
I find that clients often want
more of everything, and this is
good, to have ambition and a
vision to change and update their
space. It is either more space,
more seating, more storage, more
lighting, more comfort or more
for their money. To ensure we can
achieve this, within a budget and
on time, there has to be an open
dialogue between designer and
client, at all times, discussing
what is realistic, what can be
achieve and with what changes.
As a designer, I listen to my
intuition and to the home
language, although you also have
to ensure you use the latest design
software, continue to develop
techniques and have a process in
place to deal with complex
designs. The recipe may always
be the same but my clients are
unique individuals and combined
with the unique geometry of
their home, it makes for an
exciting process every time I work
with someone new. I say, embrace
the individuality of your home.
The biggest challenge we find
today in design is to balance
creativity, aesthetics and design
with practicality and comfort. I
challenge my team all the time
when they have achieved
practicality but missed design
aesthetics. It is important to
always have both in place. As
clients and end users, it is
important tha t you think about
things in the same way, let your
creativity run wild but do it in the
reality of the space youre
working with or making.

an extension on the sptail layout. Image courtesy of Julie Murphy
Something I suggest to all my
clients is to observe the shape of
each room carefully. In order to
develop a functional design, you
must consider the floors, ceilings,
walls and evaluate how you can
transform the room to your
liking, reflecting also on your
furniture and fixtures. Note the
height of a door and ceiling, the

KAREN HOWES
Trend: Apartment Design

By Karen Howes
Founder, Taylor Howes
Karen Howes is the driving force behind the success of Taylor Howes, London-based interior design
practice, founded in 1993. Passionate about interior design from an early age, Karens real love affair
with interiors began when, at just 18 years old, she rented a room in a tiny house in Kings Cross, owned
by Martin Waller, worldwide furniture retailer and founder of Andrew Martin. This was a real treasure
trove, full of unusual artefacts, which shaped her eye for design and love of interiors. By the age of 21,
Howes had launched her first interior design business and was steadily climbing the property ladder.
Howes met her future business partner, Gail Taylor, when they started working on an important show
apartment for a leading house-builder. This fruitful collaboration led to the birth of Taylor Howes. In
2011, Karen took sole charge of the company when Gail moved to the offices of their joint venture,
th2designs, to drive the business forward with the team. A member of the BIID (British Institute of
Interior Designers), and a well-respected representative of the industry, Karen regularly participates as a
guest lecturer at the design school KLC. Here, Karen considers the nuances of apartment design.
perfect apartment would

feature a balance between
the best space planning
and a specification that flows
through the space, creating as
much storage as possible. The
devil is in the detail and we spend
a lot of time in the Taylor Howes
Studio making sure that every
space is used to the max.
People are realising that in terms
of interior design, London is the
gateway pretty much to the rest
of the world, and I think we are
really lucky to have access to so
many really amazing things. We
do a lot of work with developers
at the moment, and looking at
specs, it is clear that people want
more for less.
I have been in the industry long
enough to have lived through the
many different ways that London
Above: Bold use of material works well in kitchen formats
APARTMENT DESIGN
has changed. We all need to
remain adaptable and I think that
is the key. We have a lot more
international projects now than
we had before, including a couple
of projects in Abu Dhabi coming
up. The real challenge is how
designers are collaborative and
innovative on a lower budget, and
we are not afraid of doing that
because it is where we started.
We always consider desires of the
clients first, for any project,
because at the end of the day, I
always remind my team that it is
not our home, but rather the
home of the client, and their
opinion is the most important.
I think we are all influenced by
the retail sector at the moment, as
there are some great ideas
coming out of the design styles
that retailers and brands are
adopting, so it is worth paying
attention to what stores do and
how they do it. We have just
finished a dressing room that
could easily have been in a major
boutique on Bond Street. I would
say to prospective clients, keep
you eyes peeled wherever you go
and tell us, the designers, what
youve seen and what you like.
Document it with pictur es
because this helps us generate an
impression of who you are and
what you like.
Innovating in apartment design is
a gentle balance, because we are
designing for peoples needs. I try
to look for what inspires me.
Where the space is, what the
client wants, and interior trends
all help to keep our team coming
up with new and exciting ideas
for our projects. I owe a lot to the
amazing people I work with who
have unique mind-sets and
constantly bring new perspectives
to our design. Were a team and
working as a team with your
client on their residence, will
always bring great results as well.
The more we know, the better

is a great option for differentiating height
design we can deliver, so we say
that we know more about our
clients than most, down to which
side of the bed they sleep in, how
they store their shirts, the
confession on how many shoes and
handbags need to be stored down
to how they entertain and whether
they eat supper in front of the TV.
A great deal of our clients come
back from the best hotels and
restaurants in the world and want
some element of that in their
homes, which is possible, but we
also want to design interiors that
are enduring and lasting and not
just a passing trend. So we will
always take up their inspiration
source but also bring a Taylor
Howes element to their home.
For Taylor Howes there are a few
themes and trends that will show
through in 2017. We will be

seeing a lot of black coming
through on finishes, all very dark
and moody in both matte and
gloss. I have to say though, we are
still loving our colour, navy blue.
Dyed parchment is also going to
be a big trend for 2017. We will
be using this in our interiors and
will actually be featuring some of
the pieces of our first capsule
collection launching next year.
Other trends that will be
noteworthy in 2017 are vintage
style light fittings, lots of raffia
and rattan on chairs, and
especially the Scandinavian
companies style in both lighting
and furniture a more relaxed
look definitely is on its way!

Trend: Kitc hen and dining

Mike graduated in Architecture from the University of Dundee and went on to complete his Masters
Degree at Oxford Brookes in Urban Design. He has over 25 years experience in designing and building
residential properties in the UK and across the world, and is increasingly becoming involved in superyacht
design. Since its inception, Mike has seen Studio Indigo grow from modest beginnings and he now leads a
team of nearly 50 skilled and dedicated architects and interior designers. Based in a converted
warehouse overlooking the Thames in Chelsea, Studio Indigo was established as a result of Mikes
ambition to create a multidisciplinary practice encompassing architecture, interior design and building
management. Working alongside the highest quality craftsmen and artisans, tradesmen and
professionals, they have been able to attain a consistent level of quality upon which their reputation is
formed. Studio Indigo combines quality of design and attention to detail with vast experience to create
truly outstanding homes, while lovingly retaining heritage features. Here, Mike talks about kitchens and
dining spaces and argues that the most successful designs are personal and eclectic as well as practical.
itchens often include a

family living space and
we spend more time in
them than any other room in our
homes. They should therefore
take prime position in a house
and have the best views, the best
light and the best access to
outside space. The rooms we
relax, play, eat and entertain in
should also be prioritised in terms
of budget.
Formal dining rooms have
become largely redundant and
many people prefer to create a
large kitchen/dining and family
room instead. The challenge is
how to make the most of the
available space and ensure that it
is well integrated with the rest
of the house.
Planning is essential for any
room, particularly for a

multifunctional kitchen, which
needs to work at a spiritual and
aesthetic level as well as a
practical one. Before any
planning can start, it is vital to
understand how the space will be
used by everyone in the family.
Good design results from
conversation and close
collaboration with all involved.
Unusual requests or difficult site
conditions can often produce
unique and surprisingly successful
solutions, so challenges can be
good. However, to be really
successful it is important to give a
kitchen and dining space a
character and an identity, which
reflects the lives and personalities
of the people using it.
Modern, contemporary and
clean spaces are fine for people
who are extremely tidy and have
no children, but for messy

creative people like myself, they
simply do not work. If mess is an
inevitable part of day-to-da y life,
then a more casual and
traditional design will help to
absorb at least some of it.
The Modern Movement loved
the idea of flexible space and
open-plan living, but having
experimented with this for so
long, people now realise how
impractical large spaces can be,
especially in Britain where our
temperate climate throws up
issues with heating. Sometimes
you need privacy, even within the
family, and the cosiest rooms are
often quite small. So it is no
surprise that the trend towards
bigger and bigger kitchens has
ended.
The team at Studio Indigo is
heavily influenced by Sir John

Soane, who created varied and
interesting spatial forms and
always aimed to maximise light.
We aim to increase the
perception of space and light
while also using barrel vaulted
ceilings, apsidal shapes and bay
windows to add character and
help to create an identifiable
space. Great care is also taken to
ensure there is a natural flow
throughout the house and, as the
core of a home, the kitchen needs
to be seamlessly linked to the
other rooms.
A kitchen is now usually part of a
bigger family space and we often
ask clients to consider adding a
scullery (that lovely old fashion
word) to house the dishwasher
and maybe an extra fridge and
the washing machines. It can be a
MIKE FISHER

great space for dumping the
debris after dinner, so you do not
have to sit and look at all those
dishes, which need to be
washed up.
Bars and stools make a great
place to have a quick breakfast
first thing in the morning and
they also come into their own
when people want to chat to
whoever is cooking. They also
provide a work space, so make
sure there are plenty of power
points and a really good internet
connection. Wireless charging or
docking stations help to keep the
tangle of leads from mobile
phones and tablets at bay.
Dining spaces now tend to be
more informal and while it
should be possible to dress the
table up for when family and
friends come around, it needs to
be robust and practical for
everyday use. Like the bar, it is
often used as a large desk by
adults as well as by children
doing their homework, so choose

materials and fabrics that can
take a knock or two.
Lastly, the family area has to be
large enough for all members to
relax in. It needs to allow them to
gather around a fire or the TV in
comfort. Again, the style should
reflect the familys personality
and the materials and furniture
should allow everyone to relax
without feeling too precious
about things. Since it will
probably be the main living and
entertaining space, be bold and
confident about how it is
decorated, give the room
character and make the most of
its potential.

the subject of bathroom design.
or a long time, the biggest

influence on the design
evolution of bathrooms has
come from the spa and wellness
sector. Now, whilst that influence
still remains, something more
complex is going on, with the
hotel-r esidential flow of
inspiration providing a constant
two-wa y dialogue, as homeowners are inspired by what they
see and experience on their
travels and as hotels respond to
domestic demands for homefrom-home comfort.
Not only that, but bathroom
design is proving to be sensitive to
wider design trends too, such as
the move against stark and
clinical minimalism and towards
more sensitive treatments
reflecting building age and
origins, reflecting as our yearning

BATHROOM DESIGN
for authenticity, as well as
registering the influence of retrostyling from hospitality offers
such as the Soho House clubs.
Technology and sustainability
issues are also driving trends,
from the use of FSC-certified
timber to finding ways to
maximise good water flow whilst
also encouraging water
conservation. The evolution of
bathroom lighting, meanwhile, is
being given fresh expression by
much greater possibilities of
colour temperature afforded by
LED lights, compared to their
fluorescent predecessors.
As designers, we always start by
asking people how they use their
bathroom, and the answers are
much more varied than one
might expect! People are
predominantly shower or bath
people, for example, or might use
the shower during the week but
look forward to a weekend luxury
soak, which then has to be an
impeccable experience. Some
people get dressed and do hair
and make-up in a bathroom,
others dont, and so on. The look
and feel must always start with
functional expectations and the
desired emotional experience of
the client, before being expressed
within the clients aesthetic and
budget. People also want to see
where their money is being spent,
which means a much more
sophisticated interpretation of
contemporary luxury in terms of
detail, layering and textures. In
developer residential schemes,
where buyers only really see a
kitchen and bathroom with all
other rooms often empty, its
particularly important tha t the
level of luxury a bathroom offers
sets the tone for the overall space.
When it comes to trends, lets
begin with bathing, because
designing for and around water is
where bathroom design all starts.
The water experience in

the building's original era, but with modern flow technology.
bathrooms is definitely a key area
of innovation right now, with
low-f low fittings being introduced
to minimise wastage, but which at
the same time have to create a
good flow rate for the user. This is
an area of technical expertise
that is becoming ever-mor e
refined. Authentic period details,
especially say in the
refurbishment of early 20th
century housing stock, are in
demand, but taps with deco or
Victorian brass styling still have
to function at the highest
technical level.
When it comes to showers, were
being asked to create enclosures

that are as large as possible, even
sacrificing baths on some
occasions. The trend for body jet
showers is giving way to the
desire for a single, decent,
overhead shower, as well as
decent hand-held attachments. A
new trend is foot taps, so that
people can wash their feet
separately if they wish. Taking a
definite cue from spa design, we
are increasingly being asked to
put benches, stepped areas and
shelves within showers, so that
people can take their time and
use the shower as a meditative

and longer-dwell-time space.
Showers now need to work for
people and all that they want to
do, rather than being the more
simple in-and-out e xperience
they once were.
Bath design is not seeing quite as
much change at the moment,
with freestanding baths still very
popular. The trend is more for
superficial, stylistic changes, such
as the use of coloured finishes for
the bath exterior or, more
minimally, for the feet of a clawfoot bath.
One dominant trend right now is
for double vanity units, wherever
possible and even in mediumsized bathrooms or for

mid-mar ket developments,
offering proper storage with not
just open shelves, but sliding
drawers with compartments,
pockets and niches. Closed storage
is also being used - and this is very
much a trend coming over from
the spa sector once more for
towel-war ming, rather than
having a visible towel-war m-rail.
Vanity units are being seen as a
piece of furniture rather than
simply sanitary ware, made up of
a basin and a shelf, whilst mirrors
need to offer inbuilt de-mister s.
When it comes to using timber

for vanity units, walnuts great
reign endures, but is not as
dominant as it once was. Theres
much more demand for more
natural-looking finishes, making
oak very popular, where knots
and imperfections are still visible.
Ensuring tha t timber is FSCcertified is a top requirement now
- and rightly so - but what it does
mean is that where clients want a
more period feel in older houses,
with, for example, mahogany as
the timber of choice, we have to
source antique lots to create the
required veneers or else stain
another type of wood to achieve
the look.
When it comes to flooring,
certainly in bathrooms in hotel
and developer residential
schemes, the key development is
in non-slip solutions. Although
this is mainly driven by litigation
and fears of liability in the
commercial sector, the solutions
being proposed will surely
migrate to the individual
residential market too. As
designers, we dont want to
sacrifice the high-quality look and
feel of materials, and neither do
our clients, and so manufacturers
are responding to this by evolving
treatments to enhance surface
texture, whilst ensuring the stone
continues to look perfectly
polished to the eye. Even marble
can be treated in this way,
although for marble the
treatment needs to be re-applied,
which is slightly more
demanding. Alternatives that are
slip-resistant also lie at the next
quality level down in porcelain
and ceramic tile flooring.
When it comes to lighting, the era
of spot downlights is in decline.
As designers, were looking for
light that reflects off the wall and
were also looking for much more
subtlety in terms of the colour
tones of light. If its too blue,
BATHROOM DESIGN

people look drained and if its too
warm, faces can look jaundiced.
Colour temperature has become
a much greater art, especially
with the dominant use of LEDs
over fluorescents, with a much
wider choice of colour tone.
Were using a lot more wall-lights
in our designs currently, as well as
halo-lighting set behind vanity
units to light the face and not the
top of the head much more
useful for putting on make-up!
For lighting around baths, we
design ceiling slots for concealed
lighting that bounces light off the
wall, or else we light niche areas
in the walls. The only area where
downlighting is still very much in
demand is over toilets, so that
people can continue to sit in

peace and read the paper!
Bathroom design is a fast-moving
area at the moment, because
influences are coming in from so
many directions from the
commercial world of hotels and
hospitality; from the overall move
from minimalism towards a new
kind of layered luxury emphasis
throughout design; from ecoconsciousness and the
sustainability agenda to
technological advances in
materials and light. Just like
bathwater, its all about getting
the right mix!

ore and more people

are now looking for
something personal. In
our digital age, we are all
storytellers, and we are
increasingly choosing to
communicate visually.
Interior s are an ideal medium
and furniture is the focal point of
interest in many cases. We are
finding that our clients are
increasingly wanting to
commission bespoke pieces;
furniture that is completely
unique and created just for them
and their specific space, or special
pieces that add to the highly
personal narratives they are
curating within their living
spaces. They want beautifully
crafted furniture, which
represents value for money,

materials and has longevity.
Urban dwelling and open plan
living is on the rise. This means
that communal areas have to
work hard on multiple levels. We
are playing hard and working
hard at home these days.
Living spaces have to look
fantastic, r eflecting and
enhancing the owners personal
image, but they also need to be
flexible. A space where 20 people
gather for dinner on Saturday
night, may need to be a playroom
on Sunday, and a home office
come Monday morning.
Multifunctional spaces require
agile, and often bespoke,
furniture pieces, which meet the
specific needs of the occupiers.
Hidden storage is often a major
priority, as is a design aesthetic
which represents the personality
of the owner.
The first consideration when
beginning the design of a piece
of furniture has to be to think
about the ultimate purpose of the
piece and the functionality
required. Once that is agreed
then the aesthetic is key, as is the
budget. We specialise in
designing furniture, which has a
strong narrative and story rather
than being design for designs
sake and we often use raw
materials in unexpected ways. For
example, we will often take a
traditionally back of house
material, such as plywood, and
turn it into a highly luxurious
piece of furniture. An
unexpected, and often humorous,
twist is part of the Studiofibre
signature.
We are a small team of designermakers. Sophisticated tooling,
which until recently was only
accessible by the big name
manufacturers, is now within the
reach of artisans and craftsmen
like us. This has allowed us to
successfully experiment with
creative ideas and to achieve new

effects and finishes.
Budget is all-important, as is the
context, so knowing these two
elements when we start working
with a client is key. With bespoke
pieces, we like to design with the
space in mind, and go to great
lengths to understand the
individual style of our client.
Only when we know what makes
them tick, what functionality we
need to achieve, and what the
piece needs to say, do we start
the design-process. Its all about
you and your desires for a great
piece of furniture.
Wed advise clients to curate their
homes as they would their
wardrobe. A careful mix of highend and high-street can achieve a
wonderful, highly personal effect.
Not everything needs to be
bespoke or expensive. Go for key
timeless investment pieces, and
dont be too led by current trends,
or things can date too quickly.
Consider the practicalities
(multifunctional pieces, storage
etc) and ensure that whatever you
choose is a reflection of your own
personal style.
Escaping to a boutique hotel is
often an inspirational experience,

which leads clients to want to
recreate something special they
have discovered there within their
own home. Hotel pieces have to
be robust, and highly practical, as
well as looking fantastic and
providing the guests with a
memorable experience. At
Studiofibre we design
experiences, hand-crafted pieces
that people enjoy discovering,
love using, and that are ultimately
highly desirable and memorable.
Our furniture is also built to last.
2017 will see a continuation of
the trend for the bespoke and
customisation. People want their
money to go further, so
multifunctional pieces will
continue to be in demand. We
live increasingly digital lives, so
our appreciation of handcraftsmanship and beautiful
quality is heightened. We are
increasingly using our living
spaces as an integral part of the
narrative of our personal lives
(both on social media and in the
real world) so interiors are an
important per sonal statement.

fter a period of seemingly

prohibitive colour choice,
with all 50 shades of grey
touted as the new... everything,
we are now noticing a distinct
resurgence to a love of using
colour in the home. Grey is still
big news, but its less drab, we are
using deeper, sludgy, charcoal
toned greys, which set off other
bolder colours and patter ns
beautifully.
Dark, rich, inky hues are here to
stay in 2017, but they are getting
more heavily saturated. Navy
walls do a remarkably good job
of showcasing other elements of
a scheme and work particularly
well with Indian yellows, tan
leathers, burnt oranges and
almost all shades of green.
Neutrals are becoming warmer

COLOUR
pigments. Blue-based neutrals are
still in demand, but approach
with caution and make sure you
choose complimentary yellow
tones to provide balance and
warmth. Black is also wonderfully
striking and surprisingly liveable
and sets other colours off very
well. I usually try to have at least
two or three black elements in
any colour scheme as it helps to
ground a space. But the most
popular colour heroes of the
moment have to be pinks and
greens, which were surely
invented to be paired together.
From dusky to neon pinks and
mossy to emerald greens, the
whole spectrum works beautifully
together and is very of the
moment in both interiors and
fashion, which remains a big
influence on key interiors trends.
Metal finishes are also enjoying a
period of respite from cool grey
tones metals such as chrome and
nickel, and the trend for brass,
bronze and black metals shows
no sign of abating.
Of particular note, is unfinished
brass, which takes on the most
beautiful worn patina over time.
Those more politically minded
amongst us may take the current
popularity for honest, worn and
authentic materials and colours
to symbolise the grass-r oots
movement of recent times. We
are certainly seeing colour used in
more organic, imaginative and
primordial ways. Flat colour is
giving way to layered colour. I
love the effect of using two or
three different paint colours on
one wall. Farrow and Balls Pink
Ground, Setting Plaster and
Dead Salmon do a marvellous
job of replicating a raw plaster
look when applied in sweeping
strokes with a large brush as
oppose to a roller. This back to
basics movement has broader
ramifications and sees us

imperfections and colour in a raw
state; polished concrete, plaster
and worn leathers are all
examples of this. This pared
back, dusky palette is the perfect
backdrop to bolder colours such
as bottle greens, strong yellows
and bright pinks or pinks. One
of my favourite colour
combinations to follow this
principal is a moody, khaki wall
with a hint of vermillion red.
At Studio Duggan we are using
colour in areas more recently
viewed as a neutral domain. We
recently painted a small powder
room ceiling in a stunning, deep,
red lacquer, which worked really
well, but is of course easily

changeable for those unsure of
taking the plunge.
If colour scares you, start with
colours we perceive as neutral.
For example, in fashion we see
denim as a neutral but in reality
of course it isnt. The interior
design equivalent of this is a mix
of battered tan leathers,
botanically inspired moss greens,
burnt siennas or dusky pink
nudes. We are so accustomed to
seeing these colours in nature that
they are a good starting point for
people just starting to experiment
with colour. You can then slowly
layer upon this semi-neutral base,
TIFFANY DUGGAN
with striking, colourful artwork
and unusual accessories.
If youre looking to introduce
colour into your home, curtains,
cushions, lampshades, throws and
quality linens are the finishing
touches that enliven any colour
scheme and are a good starting
point before painting walls.
For an on-tr end look, try using
worldly textiles such as Ikats to
add a pop of colour and a touch
of exotic flair. If you have the
budget, we adore Rifat Ozbek
cushions and Arum Fellow
embroidered textiles. If working
to a stricter budget, Pooky offer a
huge range of colourful and
inexpensive lampshades.
Also gaining popularity are
marbled papers and fabrics, which
do a fantastic job of injecting a
riot of colour in a surprisingly
subtle way. Rosi de Ruigs
beautiful marbled lampshades are
on my personal shopping list,
along with Beata Heumans
marbelised scatter cushions.
A little colour goes a long way, so
if you are nervous of taking the
plunge, edge a cushion in a bright
contrast trim or buy beautiful but
practical glassware and ceramics.
Art also, is as ever a brilliant way

to add bold colours, particularly
for those of us marginally less
brave.
Studio Duggans signature style is
fairly eclectic and we like our
projects to have a carefully
curated, balanced mix of old and
new. Colour is something we use
again and again to pull together
and unite different eras and styles
to create a cohesive, liveable and
calm aesthetic. I recently bought
five different vintage chairs from
an antiques market for a client
and had them all painted my
favourite shade of yellow, Yellow
Cake, by Farrow and Ball, to give
them the feel of a set, without
being too matchy.
Colour is essentially all about how
you want a space to feel. It has
been used for centuries to evoke
mood and wellbeing, with red
being traditionally used in dining
rooms to stimulate the appetite
and create energy. Blue on the
other hand is associated with
safety, relaxation and serenity.
Whilst todays use of colour tends
to be more layered than a blanket
covering in one shade; the
choices we make do affect how

we feel in the spaces we call

home. If you are in need of
inspiration a good tip is to find a
conceptual image that really
resonates with you and use it as
colour inspiration. Not
necessarily something interiors
related, it could be a still life
painting, anything that evokes the
right mood, and then use this as a
guide, paying careful attention to
the proportions of colour used.
If you have more conviction in
your preferences, then you cant
go wrong by going with your gut.
Personally I like moody, muted
neutrals, interspersed with a hit or
two of vibrant, unexpected colour.
Whatever you do, do not choose
an on-tr end accent colour and use
it with reckless abandon
throughout your home. The end
result will be clichd and short
lived. But dont err on the side of
caution either, if you are
struggling to decide between a safe
colour choice or something a little
more radical, then be daring, you
wont regret it. Fortune favours
the brave, as they say.

SALLY STOREY
Trend: Lighting
By Sally Storey
Design Director, John Cullen Lighting
Sally developed her passion for lighting whilst training as an architect at Bristol University. Now
considered one of the countrys leading lighting experts, Sally heads up the lighting design team at
John Cullen and spends much of her time travelling all over the world to design lighting schemes for
individual and corporate clients. With her classical and understated approach to lighting, Sally has
been responsible for designing numerous town houses, penthouses, apartments, country houses,
villas, chalets and yachts around the world. Sally has written three very successful, well-received
books on the subject of lighting, often contributes to national and international press and is
regularly asked to speak at top interior design and architectural events. Here, Sally shares her
insights into lighting for the home.
very year there seem to be

greater challenges to get
the lighting right.
Either it is changing energy
regulations or just the sheer
technical development of
lighting itself. Never before has a
light source changed so much in
so many different ways for
architectural lighting.
The miniaturisation of fittings
has opened up numerous new
opportunities to incorporate
lighting. New small 1w Lucca
uplights can be used to add
drama to a fireplace or uplight a
rustic stonewall to create a
dramatic entrance.
When lighting joinery, previously
heat based problems with woods
and veneer are now a problem of
the past. Lighting can be easily
integrated into shelves either as
Above: Bulthaup Kitchen lit by John Cullen Lighting
LIGHTING IN THE HOME
Above: Lucca uplights to wall John Cullen Lighting
backlighting, front lighting or as

miniature shallow downlights,
creating sparkle, like the tiny
Luccini which has a 30mm
diameter. Shelving of joinery
lighting provides a soft light source
in the house that reduces the need
for so many downlights and
creates more interest. In the home
office think how fabulous the
room is with beautifully lit files.
There are so many LED strips
available that choosing the
correct one can be a minefield.
Showrooms like the John Cullen
Lighting showroom can
demonstrate all the different
effects, so are worth visiting. The
price range of LED strips vary
massively and there are reasons
for this and low cost is not usually
the best! The difference is created
in the colour temperature. You
want a cool fresh colour for
daytime either 3000k or 2700k
(Seen on the shelving below on
the left) along with a soft warm
colour for the evening such as
2400k (seen on the shelving
below on the right). The colour

rendition index (CRI) determines
the way we read objects being lit
in their true colours for inferior
quality strips this means. The
shelving and objects displayed
will lack lustre and feel flat. A
high CRI will ensure a crispness
similar to halogen.
Other areas that are great to light
are window reveals as this frames
the space and adds depth to the
space. In a kitchen, think of
creating a layered lighting scheme
and combine this with other
effects. Add some linear lighting
above units to reflect more light
into the space and also below the
seating area of an island along
with some downlights to provide
task lighting to the island and
work surfaces and you have the
most versatile space to live in.
Period properties can also benefit
from enhancements from the
latest LED technology. Whether
enhancing the original features of
an impressive hallway or
uplighting to show off an
impressive original ceiling,

lighting will ensure that your
visitors see these period features
when it is dark outside.
The changes to the lighting have
even been to the standard bulb
for your tables lamps. There are
now dim to warm solutions but
always check the dimmability
before installing. Another great
move has been in the
development of the crazy
filament bulbs. From the Squirrel
lamp with zigzag filament, to an
oversized filament lamp with a
warm 2400k coloured tint, which
becomes a light fitting in itself,
whether suspended individually
or in groups, being bold is the
new lighting a la mode.
Every year something seems to
feature and this year definitely
seems to be the year of the
filament lamp with a war m glow
to contrast with the original cold
light of the LED.

experienced in both residential and five-star-plus hospitality. Lawson Robbs designs challenge the
status quo, and always deliver innovations through materials and a sculptural approach to space.
Here, the studio at Lawson Robb provides some insight into this fast-growing home office concept.
ith regards to home

offices or studies, some
clients are very
knowledgeable about what they
want, while others need a
brainstor m. Every client wants a
workspace but that should double
as an area for meetings,
contemplation, or simply to meet
and talk with friends over an
exquisite cup of coffee.
Often, the private club feel works
best for studies and home
workspaces. In our 30,000 sq ft
home in Dubai, the study was
inspired by a London members
club. It needed to be timeless yet
elegant, and innovate in terms of
the clients expectations. So, we
created a welcoming and intimate
space, not clinical and office-like.
The colour palette in this project
was smoky, driven by the amber

to create the right level of lighting where possible

hues of cognac, fine Scotch,
cigars or wine. As with a
members club, the furniture is
functional yet comfortable, so we
specified big clubby chairs, tables
with discreet storage, cigar boxes
and drinks tables.
Previously it was thought that you
had to have a large home before
you could accommodate a study
or home office. No matter what
the size, home offices and studies
can be incorporated.
With modern life, one wants the
option of being able to work from
home, whatever the work, whether
as a parent or company director.
One needs a space to write, think,
contemplate, talk with friends. Also
because some appointments have
to happen at home during the
working week, having the option to
work efficiently, from a dedicated
space, is essential. Studies can be
created within a living room, for
example, using partitions, screens,
curtains or shutter s. Of course we
design it with love so that even in
the smallest spaces, one can have
quality time.
Every project is different,
charismatic and of course,
personal to you, the client. The
location provides a sense of place.
A study in Dubai is bound to have
a different approach compared
with the one in London. All these

destinations command their own
approach to materials or colour
palette. From the Caribbean to
Miami, we might incorporate
linens, raffia carpets and a fresh
colour scheme. In London
however, the tendency would be
for rich British waxy leathers with
a hint of suede and velvet. In the
Middle East, inspiration can come
from the beauty of the sand
dunes or earth tones. But
sometimes clients want a mix of
cultures and palettes, which is
why we brought the British club
look to Dubai.
We are creating a sense of visual
drama in every new space and
this is how we continue to
innovate. Listening to your stories
helps us develop strong
relationships and understand your
motivations for this type of space
in the home. The study will then
reflect the colour, passion for
materials and a sense of place for
the location, whether that is
overlooking the garden, ocean or
even on the lower ground floor.
The majority of our clients work
from home, at least part of the
time. Even if they dont want a
separate study, they will ask for a
working area. This can work
really well in bedrooms, where the
study area does not have to look

as rigid as a desk. It can be
whimsical, quite artistic and
creative, where you can enjoy a
cocktail as much as do some work.
In a corporate environment,
office furniture needs to
accommodate many workers and
fit within the business style. The
nature of ones role, whether that
is the legal or marketing team, has
little bearing on the office look.
But at home, which is your
kingdom, or queendom, the study
is very personal. You can be a
makeup artist for example,
surrounded by brushes and books,
or a financier treasuring
collections and objet darts.
For 2017 I think well see the
number of those working from
home continue to increase,
whether you set up as an
individual worker, or are able to
work from home as part of a
larger business. Being able to
work from home also tends to
serve the community better, with
less transportation and traffic,
and accommodating more
flexible working patter ns.
Increasingly it will become a very
important part of the house and
therefore an integral part of the
designers brief.

ne of the most popular

requests from most of
my clients is to make a
space homely and liveable. On a
few occasions Ive had clients
come to me with images to
illustrate exactly what they dont
want to see in their home. These
pictures tend to feature generic
styling thats created something
luxurious but lacks character.
Very often, clients ask me to
incorporate some of the furniture
and accessories they already own.
This is extremely important to
me as these items can really
determine the feel of the room.
Now more than ever people want
to enjoy their homes. They want
to be able to come home and feel
good in each and every room,
whilst also being able to entertain
friends and family. In London

HOME STYLING
especially, property sizes are
getting smaller so this is probably
one of the biggest changes and
challenges for designers as we
need to make sure we understand
the space and the clients needs.
Artwork is usually a good way to
add something unique to the
space and to fill an empty wall
space.
The first thing I always do is look
at the space and what we are
working with. Understanding the
space is very important as we can
use some of the accessories to
complement the existing
architectural aspects of the room.
For my GQ Bachelor Pad shoot, I
selected the space for the styling
and used the colours of the old
church to carefully choose what
we finally used on the set.
Designing for the retail sector is
very different than from the
residential sector. With retail, the
space needs to be a window for
the business, and for residential
projects, the interior is more
personal. Nevertheless, you can
definitely find a great deal of
inspiration from the retail world,
as most of the time they are
pioneers for using some of the
latest materials or accessories to
visually create a wow impact.
For us designers, its very easy to
envisage the final result, which
can be a challenging concept for
the client. Even when styling a
property, clients need reassurance
that final choices for the interior
will work perfectly for their
lifestyle. An easy way to create
that trust, reassurance and
understanding is to take them to
see retail spaces where inspiration
has been drawn upon.
Travelling, fashion and movies
have always been a great
inspiration for my designs. This is
still the case now after nearly 10
years of launching my design
studio. Whenever I travel for
business or pleasure I always look
Above: Style your home in items that hold meaning to you.

Books and pieces of luggage that have stand-out quality.
for new ideas and take lots of
images of what I think could
work on future projects. Fashion
and cinema are the best ways to
keep up with the latest trends. I
always try to keep my clients
involved as much as possible and
take them to see new showrooms
or even restaurants to help them
to perceive some of the design
ideas and concepts.
When striking up a new
relationship with a client, its
always very important for me to
understand the client and how
they live, what they like to do in
their private time, but also
anything related to fashion and
design. To understand the client is
the most important aspect of our
work as without knowing them,
we take a risk of designing
something totally different to their
expectations. Every client has an
idea of what they want from us,
which is often something they find
hard to explain, so it is our job to
be patient and take you hand in
hand through the design process.
When incorporating new and
original styles into your home,
I would say dont be scared of
doing it but be very conscious of
how the old style of your home
and the new ideas work together.

One of the biggest mistakes in
styling is to have too many
belongings or items that dont
complement each other.
The best way to incorporate hotel
design trends into a home project
is to scale them down and just
choose some of the aspects of
these trends. If you see something
you love while travelling, there is
nothing to say you cannot
incorporate it, but it must be to
the scale of ones own home. One
thing not to forget is the scale of
the project you are working on.
Even if its a large family
mansion, the size of the rooms
are not likely to be on the same
scale as those in a hotel setting.
Make it work for your property.
For 2017 were increasingly
moving towards designing unique
and personalised interiors. The
best way for a designer to fulfil a
home styling brief is to capture
the clients ideas and turn them
into interior spaces. The use of
luxury materials is becoming
more appreciated, so we will see
more of these in the year to come.

VERITY WOOLF
Trend: Accessories and Antiques

By Verity Woolf
Founder and Design Director, Woolf Interior
Verity Woolf founded WOOLF Interior Architecture & Design in 2005. The studio, based in Portobello,
Notting Hill, West London, boasts an impressive portfolio of high-end residential and commercial
projects. These projects evoke an underlying eccentric timelessness, which evolves from a broad and
dynamic approach to design. The combination of the teams distinct abilities and Veritys wide-ranging
philosophy allow WOOLF to creatively deliver all aspects of interior spaces. The WOOLF design team
apply in-house specialisms and diverse expertise with a highly versatile approach to the growing and
demanding world of interiors. The team has a professional and robust work ethic with key focuses on a
commitment to budgets and streamlined integrated time-lines. The WOOLF team has collaborated with
several eminent architects and a number of notable clients in the past. Here, Verity shares her passion
for accessories and antiques for creating beautiful homes.
e have found that the

most popular requests
in terms of accessory
needs, are to do with combining
one off quirky items with really
beautifully hand crafted pieces.
Sourcing unusual statement
accessories is usually a key
requirement of any
characterful home.
Currently, we are seeing that web
platforms such as Pinterest,
Houzz, Instag ram and 1st Dibs
give clients and industry
professionals exposure to an
incredibly wide range of choices
in accessories. Equally consumers
and designers are confidently
mixing up new and antique
objects in spaces.
The most important
consideration when incorporating
accessories and antiques into a

ACCESSORIES AND ANTIQUES

home is that existing accessories
will blend well with new ones. We
will think through how
accessories tie into the overall
space, providing focal points
without cluttering surfaces .
Antiques give a space the
integrity of a story and
contemporary items are about
exploring the present.
Designers will always be able to
find original and unique pieces
for their clients. The retail sector
offers such an extraordinary
array of choices from the
affordable options online such as
Rockett St. George right the way
up to Holly Hunt. Drawing from
both the retail and trade sector
will give the project its character
and originality, so clients should
keep an eye open for key pieces
found on the high street and in
boutiques they visit.
We are really inspired by great
antiques and contemporary
accessory designers who we see at
the various design shows,
furniture markets and trade fairs
throughout the year, such as PAD,
Luxury Made, Decorative
Antiques Fair and Master piece.
Part of the enjoyment of working
with clients is to be able to take
them along to shows and give
them the experience of looking at
works first-hand.
One of the most interesting
aspects of working with a client at
the beginning of a project is
gauging their response to antiques.
We might be sourcing Russian
antiques of a particular era whilst
also looking at British and Italian
antiques of an earlier era. It is
useful to have an understanding of
whether the history of the piece is
more important than the
condition of it.
We advocate being fluid with
your approach to combining new
and original accessories. There
are no rules. Choosing items that
are beautifully hand-crafted will

always bring a sophistication and
elegance to any space.
Judging from the work we have
seen recently, the biggest presence
is the profound use of metals;
coated metals, raw metals, silvered
metals, smooth metals, textured
metals, which will continue to
prevail in 2017. T he emphasis on
bespoke metal-working is giving
accessories and furniture a very
sculptural feel. In antiques we
have noticed a shift from shabby
reclaimed items to much more
tailored statement pieces.
We advocate
being fluid with
your approach to
combining new
and original
accessories.

STEPHANIE COUTAS
Trend: Textiles
By Stephanie Coutas
Designer, Stephanie Coutas
Stephanie Coutas is first and foremost a devotee to craftsmanship and savoir-faire, who also designs
plush, elegant and warm spaces. She subtly fuses her love of beautiful workmanship and
romanticism to create neoclassical and contemporary interiors imbued with modern magic.
Stephanie was brought up in Asia and spent most of her childhood abroad in stylish locations, which
sparked her passion for beautiful homes and interiors. She began her professional life in fashion
before opening her interior design agency, 1001 maisons, recently named SC Editions, where she
works with a team of architects, decorators and designers on private homes, hotels and yachts in
France and abroad. Stephanie is currently showing her own new Paris home. Completely renovated
and redesigned by Stephanie, it is situated opposite the Place des Etats Unis, a two-minute walk
from the famous Avenue Montaigne and Champs Elysees.
efore anything else, our

clients are asking for
unique and luxurious
finishings for their projects. Once
the main design decisions have
been made, they will ask for
comfortable seating, fabrics with
a soft touch and those that are
easy to maintain. I work a lot
with palettes of white and light
colours and shades throughout
my projects and so texture plays
an important part in the mor e
neutral tones.
I think the biggest changes in
textile design and manufacture
have come with evolution of
technical fibres, allowing new
development and ideas. For
example, I use fabric threads with
light inside from St Gobain to
create wall panel dcors or
cotton/silk mix with lur ex threads

allowing a very soft glow at night
on curtains. The introduction of
technology here has really
advanced what I can achieve. In
carpets, we now have new fibres,
which can be used to make white
carpets to great effect, not only
can it be used with a very humid
and salty environment like on
yachts or in a bathroom, but also
outdoors. This was previously not
as achievable as weather forces
would taint and tarnish the
fabrics. I am developing a
collection of carpets with Taiping
Company from this new fibre and
I love this idea of a beautiful
product, looking like a silk carpet
that can be used anywhere as a
dcor. Designing a new product
that mixes beauty and function is
very satisfying. Copper, brass,
silver, metallic threads inside glass
panels or combined with fabrics

are very in fashion and I continue
to see this in my client briefs.
As a fashion designer, I have
developed a passion for textiles
and textures, patter ns and
embroideries in all their forms.
For private residences, I work
with the idea of developing a
colour tone throughout the
house. Then, I will elaborate on a
panel of finishing around the
colour tone. Silk velvet with
metallic paint with tw o or three
different motifs, leather threads
mixed with wool, silk
embroideries on leather. The
options are endless and my clients
are looking for the best, unique
and exclusive designs. Their
home has to look like no other. I
pride myself on having the
knowledge to be able to realise
clients textile dreams.

I think fashion collections and
general fibres are driving force in
textiles across the interiors
industry. Home collections,
nowadays, follow the tempo of the
general atmosphere of the world.
We want natural, anti-aller gic
fibres to create a healthy home,
beautiful and sophisticated but
peaceful and joyful, I think this is
what people want in their homes.
Innovation is our first priority
within the design studio. My
office is a lab of ideas and new
developments, samples are strewn
everywhere and our partners and
craftsmen are working to realise
these ideas on a constantly
evolving basis. As a client, with
expectations for your home, dont
be afraid to ask us for something
that seems impossible, we can
STEPHANIE COUTAS
work to find a resolution that you
will love. Be bold in your choices.
As designers we love clients with
creative ideas and a passion for
fabrics and textiles.
When embarking on a new
design journey with a client, old
or new, I like to sit with them for
a few hours, listen to their general
ideas then show them samples,
fabrics and watch their reactions.
Usually after the fir st meeting I
know exactly where I am heading
and how their project is going to
look. The journey has to be
passionate. Passion is the key and
our clients can feel it. My biggest
reward is seeing them happy and
proud of their project.
My advice to clients is to be
daring. Being chic is not about
being perfect but about daring to
have a house which looks and
feels like its owner.

SIMONE SUSS
Trend: Art in Interiors

By Simone Suss
Founder, Studio Suss Ltd
Simone Suss studied interior design at Inchbald and following graduation, set up Studio Suss Ltd. With
a talent for spatial planning and expert knowledge in art sourcing, Simone transforms and realises
creative ideas into design spaces. Studio Suss specialises in telling clients stories through a very
personal interior space, whether this is an important art collection, a fashion brand or a particular
passion. Simone is a member of the BIID, BFC Fashion Trust and is a Patron of the Royal Academy of
the Arts. These links to the fashion and art worlds influence her designs so that spaces are
contemporary, interesting and timeless. Recent projects include a collaboration with Sophia Webster on
the interior of her London retail store, a new build in Hampstead, developments in Knightsbridge and
Soho. With a love of both established and emerging British brands, Simnone uses; Robin Day, Auxilium
Salvage, Lyngard, &New, Anglepoise, Biggs & Quail, Nocturne, Stuart Scott, Crucial Trading, Penelope
Hope, Copper & Silk, Lee Kirkbride, and Juliet Travers, amonst many others to achieve beautiful designs
for her clients. Here, Simone connects the world of art with home interiors.
he most popular request

from clients we receive is
to assist them with buying
art for their home that they will
love, and will also complement
their interior scheme.
Clients require assurances that the
works they buy are strong from a
curatorial perspective. While they
should only buy pieces that they
love they want to know that they
are making informed and wise
buying decisions.
Sometimes we are required to
work a favourite piece of art into
the scheme. Whether its the
theme, texture or colour of the
art its great to work subtle
nuances into the interior schemes
to enhance the space.
We have had a long history of
working with collectors in
creating interior s that
Above: Inject personality with art
ART IN INTERIORS
complement their collection or
commissions. Socially, one of the
biggest changes is the accessibility
of the art market, given the
prolific nature of art fairs such as
Freize in London and The
Armory Show in New York as
well as the more contemporary
programming at major
institutions and dedicated
contemporary spaces and
galleries. This trend has led to a
new breed of collectors and art
buyers embracing the desire to
own and display art in their home
and commercial spaces.
When designing or building a
new space, we work with either
existing collections or an
opportunity to buy new works or
have works commissioned. When
selecting art for spaces it really
depends on the functional
priorities of the space of the
room, how it is lit (both naturally
and at night) and also the budget
for the art.
For example, a family friendly
kitchen has a different aesthetic
and functional requirement to a
dining room and therefore the art
selections are different.
Considerations are always lead
by the client and the room that
we are designing. If a piece
makes a client feel energised and
excited then its more appropriate
for a lounge than a relaxing
bedroom space.
Retail is a really exciting area for
interiors at the moment, in part
down to a need to make
consumers experience a brand
rather than simply buying online.
We recently collaborated with
Sophia Webster on her Mount
Street store and incorporated her
brand in many different ways.
Hooks were heels from her shoes,
the plasterwork and cornicing
was based on her flamingo motifs
and her signature colour palette
was worked into the furniture etc.
As people spend more time

shopping online, retail
environments need to work
harder to entice clients into the
stores and creating branded
environments is key to this. There
are also so many ways of
personalising finishes with colours
and branding that its often the
retailers leading the way with this.
Retailers are seeing the power of
art to entice consumers into their
stores and invigorate interest in
their brand. For example, when
Eddie Peake did an installation at
the Victoria Beckham store last
year he added a vibrant blue
word sculpture to a neutral
interior, completely changing the
feel of the space. This was a
brave choice by Victoria.
We take inspiration from a wide

variety of sources. In addition to
attending many trade shows
including Maison & Objet,100%
Design, Decorex, PAD etc, we
also attend art fair s, gallery
openings and fashion shows. As a
patron of The Royal Academy of
Arts and Member of the British
Fashion Council Fashion Trust,
we have access to the latest
exhibitions and trends. This
breadth of influential design
across art and fashion continues
to inspire our designs and we are
constantly innovating in the use
of materials and colours that
galvanize our schemes. That said,
we keep our designs as enduring
as possible so that they are
SIMONE SUSS
contemporary and relevant but
also timeless.
When educating clients they are
as involved as they want to be.
Sometimes well discuss
innovations and its a more
collaborative approach. Other
clients just want the benefit of
our expertise and give us a freer
reign in the design process. We
also love Instagram as it
showcases some of the best in
design and is a great tool for
immediate inventiveness.
At the beginning of a design
journey we really like to
understand which artworks a
client has in their collection,
which ones they would like to
display, and works that they are
looking to purchase or
commission. Understanding
where a client wishes a piece of
art to live will often dictate the
lighting scheme used and can
influence the palette for certain
areas. Working with clients is very
personal and we really endeavour

to understand each individual
clients taste.
Too often in interior design a
home is finished and the art is
added as an afterthought. We
advise our clients to think about
their home and their art
throughout the entire design
process. This enables a more
holistic approach so that the
entire scheme including the
furniture, colour palette, lighting
and art are brought together with
stunning visual impact. We often
prepare drawings and elevations
for schemes that include the art
so that our clients get to see the
space in its entirety during the
decision making process.
The great thing about art is tha t
it is constantly evolving. Most
recently at Frieze there were
stunning pieces by Edmund De
Waal (Breathtur n) and Hans Op
De Beeck (Silent Library) that
were sculptures devoid of any

colour at all and really striking by

their simplicity and beauty.
Technology is allowing artists to
experiment with new media and
boundaries are constantly being
pushed with the use of colour,
materials and media. At the
Royal Academy Summer
Exhibition Kutlug Atamanss
spectacular Portrait of Sakip
Sabanci is made up of 10,000
LCD screens.
Just like the world of interiors,
the art world is innovating and
changing at a great pace. I am
constantly amaz ed by the new
works at any given show and so
excited to see what 2017 brings .
Art is also reflective of the
environment so it will be
interesting to see how the new
political era of Brexit and
Trump affect art in 2017.

EMIL HUMBERT AND CHRISTOPHE POYET
Trend: Wine Cellar Design

By Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet
Co-Founders, Humbert & Poyet
Emil Humbert and Christophe Poyet, are two architects who joined forces to form Humbert & Poyet.
The design and fashion enthusiasts both studied in Paris, the former as a state-qualified architect
(Paris-Belleville National School of Architecture graduate) and the latter as a CFAI interior designer
(Acadmie Charpentier graduate). It all began in 2007 when Emil Humbert, from Paris, opened his
architecture firm and Christophe Poyet, from Monaco, had just graduated. Humbert & Poyet was
founded a year after they first met. Their projects focus on elegant and meticulous designs to create
timeless spaces using premium materials such as stone, wood and bronze. Naturally, the most
important thing is to reflect the clients personality and respect the soul of the site. Here, Emil and
Christophe share their vision for truly unique and beautiful wine cellar spaces.
e it in Bordeaux,
Bourgogne or Italy,
architecture is an
important part of most castles
and vineyards; it greatly
contributes to the making of the
precious drink and the greatest
architects of the world on their
new cellars. The relationship that
binds the vineyard and
architecture together is part of a
long history dating back to
several centuries, it gave birth to
a heritage of remarkable quality.
Today we are eager to know
more and more about the wine
and the unique experiences
associated to it. What
architecture has to offer is the
opening of a discourse on wine,
which focuses on the past and
places it in a language belonging
to luxury. A fresh revival in this

WINE CELLAR DESIGN

sector of design is now at work.
The colours, materials and
sounds that echo with a sense of
sophistication within wine cellar
settings are truly unique. Wood
conveys greatness, the lights are
dimmed, the ambiance is hushed.
It is a place of solace and
gratitude and bringing this space
into the home will only serve to
heighten your sense as a
collector of wine and a lover of
craft and design.
The passion for wine and its
commerce is developing
throughout the world, wine
cellars are striving to consolidate
their position with an original
presentation, and always attentive
to their bond to the world of
luxury and craftsmanship.
Architectural design has no other
purpose than to give the best
response conditions for the
presentation of wine functionality of materials and
spaces, thermal conditions and
the identification to the
environment of the wine.
Wine creates a discourse between
craftsmanship and new
technologies and allows us to
have a different perspective, it
allows us to tell a story and to
create value. The history of its
aromas and the layers of lands
composing it, the wood pallet
where it swells, and forms itself.
These are all symbols of wine
making and can be successfully
integrated into a wine cellar
space to represent the wine and
its heritage. Metal from the
barrels gives a more
contemporary touch, in this sense
stainless steel or bronze could be
added to an interior to add
modernity and yet still
provenance.
The colour palette you chose can
link the wine you select. The
smell of leather is also involved in
the construction of a decor that
blends discrete and elegant
Above: Images courtesy of Francis Amiand

intentions. Wine cellar design can
and should be discreet, a hidden
chamber, or a secret bolt-hole,
where fragrance, touch, taste and
sight combine harmoniously.
Ideas, designs and materials from
the design sector have greatly
informed decisions in wine cellar
design. Refinement and luxury
are fundamentals here, something
which clients are no longer just
asking for, but expecting.
For 2017 we see memory and
connectivity as being big

expressions in wine cellar design.
Each wine allows us to timetravel through a sensory
experience. For every discovery,
a new design aesthetic could be
applied, think about this when
working with your designer to
engage with your wine stock
and create a space worthy of
the wine.

CHARLOTTE MURRELL
Trend: Garden Design

By Charlotte Murrell
Founder, Charlotte Murrell Landscape Design
Charlotte Murrell began her career in horticulture a decade ago, and now has her own landscape
design practice in Winchester. Charlotte previously trained in Art, Sculpture, and Interior Design,
before working as an assistant gardener at Trewidden Gardens in Cornwall, and then going on to
retrain in Garden Design, launching her design practice in 2011. She is a pre-registered member of
the Society of Garden Designers and an affiliate designer of the British Institute of Landscape
Industries. Charlotte and her team believe that It is important to be flexible in their approach. Each
project is unique and they begin the design process with that firmly in mind, spending time with
clients, discussing their requirements and exploring ideas. Charlotte looks carefully at the potential
and restrictions of the site, and the context of the house in its surroundings, to gain a thorough
understanding of the space, before beginning the design process. Here, Charlotte talks about the
importance of encouraging future generations into horticulture and her passion for landscape design.
hrough my practice, I
meet clients from all walks
of life, with different
criteria, styles and tastes for their
outdoor space. I have the privilege
of designing their gardens, which
gives me a thrill each time I
succeed in making their garden
work for them. As with
architecture or interiors, each
space needs to function and please
each individual client, making
every project bespoke. This is not
only a welcome challenge, but also
a wonderful opportunity to try
various ideas and test my skills in
design, learning something new
each time.
Horticultur e for me is a hidden
gem, which I wish I had
discovered earlier in life. The only
horticultural activity I r emember
from school was planting a

GARDEN DESIGN
Above: Image courtesy of Martin Gardner

sunflower seed in a polystyrene
cup and watching it grow, which
signifies how little emphasis was
given to horticulture in the
curriculum at the time. Had there
been the opportunity to study it
more, perhaps I would have
arrived at my chosen career earlier
in life, who knows? Without
providing the next generation with
exposure to nature and experience
of horticultural pursuits, we arent
giving them the chance to decide
for themselves.
This is being acknowledged more
nowadays, with organisations like
the RHS championing initiatives
like Horticulture Matters, a
scheme to further integrate
horticulture into education and
get it recognised as a valuable
career. Sue Biggs, Director
General of the Royal

Horticultural Society, wrote in the
Horticultur e Matters 2014 report
T here is a growing crisis that is
threatening our economy,
environment and food security.
This is the increasing lack of
people joining the sector and the
skills shortage that it brings. This
is relevant not only to the
horticultural industr y but to the
country as a whole.
In my work, I notice at the grass
roots level a lack of trained people
to carry out maintenance for
clients on completed gardens.
Sadly, horticulture in all its forms
has been a much maligned
vocation over recent decades,
where fast-paced developments in
technology have enticed younger
generations into a life away from
the soil and the wonders that

spring from it.
As an example to further
compound this, in 2007 some of
the words Oxford University Press
no longer deemed relevant to
modern-day childhood included
acorn, adder, bluebell, buttercup,
catkin, conker, dandelion, fern,
hazel, heather, ivy, kingfisher, lark,
mistletoe, nectar, newt, otter,
pasture and willow, removing
them from the Oxford Junior
Dictionar y.
Some examples of the words
taking their places in the new
edition include attachment, blockgraph, blog, broadband,
bullet-point, celebrity, chatroom,
committee, cut-and-paste , MP3
player and voice-mail.
In doing this, arent we removing
CHARLOTTE MURRELL
an opportunity for children to
learn about our natural world?
These are the people who will
grow up, influence and manage
our world in years to come; what
precedents are we setting? As
someone within this industry, I can
see that were heading towards a
potential catastrophe if more isnt
done to encourage school leavers
to consider horticulture, in one of
its many forms, as a desirable
career. Horticultur e is not the
fallback for those that cannot do
anything else; its a career for
enthusiastic and educated
individuals wanting to make a
difference.
Now that I am a landscape and
garden designer, I passionately
believe in the value of a welldesigned garden, which not only
adds value to a property, but also,
and most importantly, enhances
the quality of life of those who use
it.
With every outdoor space we
design, we have the opportunity to
improve our environment, and in
doing so, the world around us. We
do this through the design
decisions we make, the elements
and materials we choose (and
those we exclude), types of

planting, and the consideration we
give to wildlife, ecology, and water
conservation in our design. These
things are more important than
ever to consider, now and going
forwards. As designers, we can
make a relatively small but positive
impact on global warming,
ecology, and the environment. If
we all work together, that impact
could be huge.
When it comes to peoples homes,
they traditionally focus first on
the fabric of their house, then the
interior finishes, and lastly if
were lucky, the gardens. But the
gardens can be equally as
important in enhancing the
enjoyment of the home. If
architects, interior designers, and
landscape designers work
cohesively together to create
living spaces, we could maximise
the potential for your enjoyment
and in turn, ultimate success for
designer and homeowner. This
can be done by linking finishes
and materials between the house
and garden, integrating the use
of lighting, style and form, so
they echo the interior within the
garden. Views from the property

into the garden and beyond could

be utilised, bringing the garden
into the house, and vice versa,
producing one harmonious living
space, rather than tw o disjointed
ones.
A garden can offer so much to its
user, extending their living space
for entertaining and relaxing.
From alfresco dining on a
beautiful terrace to the cool shade
of a pretty tree, growing food,
sumptuous planting, ambient
lighting and tranquil water
features, the list is endless. A
beautiful, well-designed garden
will complement the architecture
and interior of a house, while
providing an outdoor space that
can give so much enjoyment to its
users.
The natural world is part of who
we are, its the core of our
existence, and a precious resource
to be preserved. Its crucial that we
make it an essential part of every
persons education and experience
growing up, hopefully instilling a
love of the outdoors and a respect
and enjoyment of nature for
generations to come.

THOMAS GRIEM
Trend: Holiday Home Designs

By Thomas Griem
Founder, TG Studio
Thomas Griem is the Founder and Director of TG-Studio. His 20 years experience spans from
residential, retail and office schemes in international locations from Hong Kong to New York. Thomas
studied in Berlin and London, where he won the Hubert Sands Memorial award and graduated with a
Bsc and Diploma in Architecture from the University of Westminster. In 1998 Thomas worked with
Phillippe Stark for the global residential developer YOO and went on to co-found the successful
interior design practice Target Living. After taking it to the prominent position of industry design
leader, Thomas Griem decided to move on in 2011 by starting the creative venture that is TG-Studio.
Here, Thomas shares his joy in designing holiday homes for clients.
t is a dream for many of us to

own a holiday home. For
some of us this also
constitutes the first step in
moving to another country and
adopting a more relaxed lifestyle.
In any case, it is a big financial
investment and most people will
evaluate buying a holiday home
just like any other venture or
buying a second rental property
on home ground in England.
With interest rates at the lowest
levels in a lifetime and banks
lending again after the financial
crisis, property looks a safe
investment and if it makes sense
financially, the advantage of
owning a home from home with
your family is extremely
tempting.
On the other side there is the
burden of having another home,
Above: The dream holiday home, Ibiza
HOLIDAY HOME DESIGNS
Above: Connecting indoor and outdoor spaces with holiday homes/villas is key
the fear that all your time is used
up by repairing the house rather
than using it. T he potential that
the investment may turn sour,
that the potential costs have been
underestimated, and the worry of
exposing yourself and your
family to months or years of, in
an effort to create your perfect
home away.
This is where my strong advice is
to employ a professional in
England, a professional who is
experienced in designing your
dream project, who is easily
reachable and who can organise
as much of the project as you
require; all the while ensuring the
experience controlled, safe and
fun.
At TG-Studio w e start our
involvement by listening to our
future clients in order to
understand what you want, how
much you want to spend, what
quality of building you have in

mind, your timeline and how
much you want to get involved.
After a first meeting we are able
to evaluate budget, timescale and
the extent of our involvement.
When it comes to design we first
ask our clients to upload images
that inspire them of houses,
interiors, hotels, furniture or even
artwork to a Pinterest page we set
up. All family members are
encouraged to have a go and
participate at this stage. We study
the information and use this to
organise a first presentation in
which we show a selection of
images of international villas
inspired by your suggestions. In
these creative meetings we talk
also about practical issues and
establish the number of
bedrooms, bathrooms, along with
architectural features inside and
outside etc. We will encourage
the conversation to be creative

but also factual with the aim of
putting together a room
requirement list and a room
features list. For the experienced
client this is collecting the brief.
After that, the sketching and
drawing begins in our studio and
we will be working towards a
second presentation, which
focuses on realistic building ideas
and solutions. If a client can read
plans we will concentrate on plan
and elevation drawings, for the
less trained eye we will undertake
3D sketches or realistically 3D
rendered images.
After the design and look is
agreed we can also organise the
local team of architects,
engineers and contractors and
can oversee the build /
refurbishment up to fully
furnishing your dream house.
In one sentence: we offer a one
THOMAS GRIEM
stop shop; helping you to create a
individually designed/r efurbished
house, realised to the agreed
budget to represent a sound
investment.
My belief is that a home from
home must be practical but it
should also be magical and fulfil
dreams, which at the same time
adds value.
We are working predominately in
the Balearics at the moment but to
date have also completed homes
in the Alps, France and Italy.
We always try to create extremely
comfortable properties with a
local connection. In Mallorca and
Ibiza I love using the local stones
particularly the hammered stone
tiles for the floor and rough
stones for feature walls. Also the
use of timber is something that
brings organic softness to any
home and I use it in bathrooms
and more and more on ceilings. I
remember my parents removing
their timber ceiling from the 70s
some years ago thinking it being
too out of date and find it
amusing how elements of design
get reinvented and reintroduced.
The bathrooms are also very
important in any home but in
holiday homes we designers have
an extra opportunity to create
fantastic spaces. Why? Because
the storage requirements in a
holiday home need to only cater
for a few weeks essentials. As in a
hotel, display space is more
important.
I like to create niches for towels
and bath stands so that towels
can be placed below. In addition,
large worktops space around the
sinks. A nice idea to make glass
screens between toilet and shower
look softer and more organic is to
sandwich sheer linen fabric
between two layers of glass. The
effect is beautiful.
Lastly and most importantly it is
all about creating that one
important space in your holiday
home, the space you will use most

of the time, the space that defines
the house, the holiday, the
memories. In the warm weather
holiday home this is the insideout space: here the garden and
how it connects with the main
living room will make your house.
It will be its centre and present
the quality of your lifestyle. Being
as aspirational as possible is what

I advise. In the competitive
market of holiday homes your
property must stand out to get the
best return, be it rental or sale.
The biggest danger is to build
something safe and boring!

TARA BERNERD
Trend: Yacht Design

By Tara Bernerd
Founder, Tara Bernerd & Partners
British Designer Tara Bernerd is Founder of the established interior architectura practice, Tara
Bernerd & Partners. Working with an executive team of highly experienced architects and designers
based out of the London Headquarters in Belgravia the focus for Bernerd is on the relevance of
creative direction and interior design. Bernerds business interests continue to grow, working
increasingly on a global platform with projects in New York, Chicago, London, Hong Kong, Shanghai
and Switzerland. Key clients include Thompson Hotels, Sixty Hotels, Blackstone, the LeFraks,
Berkeley Group, Lend Lease, Couture Homes, Grosvenor Asia and Asia Standard, plus select private
clients. Tara Bernerd & Partners designs reflect intelligent space planning and layouts, with a strong
use of texture and colour, which typify their projects. With a more edgy approach Bernerds work is
renowned for creating warmth and atmosphere. Increasingly focusing on hotels, restaurants and
commercial residential developments the practice is committed to making a difference through
design. Here, Tara discusses yacht building and the inevitable lifestyle designing that goes with it.
t's official: the yacht has

morphed. Definitions of style
and design have been
reinvented and the most striking
new lines are leaving anyone with
a yacht-spotting fetish (m yself
included) debating furiously.
Theres also the sheer scale of
todays superyachts to consider. It
appears that size, actually, does
matter.
As a result, the shipyards have
become big brands and the go-to
names of the industry include
Lrssen, who are known for
creating Azzam, Ice, Phoenix and
countless other iconic vessels.
German shipyard, Nobiskrug,
have so far taken on the most
futuristic stance, as seen in their
latest design with Philippe Starck
for the infamous superyacht, A.
And then there are the classics,
Above: image courtesy of Tara Bernerd & Partners
YACHT DESIGN

where ultimately an owner
becomes a custodian of an
enchanted story and thanks to
true dedication, love and care
yachts such as Shemara still grace
our seas.
Personally, I like a Feadship:
established in the 1920s and still
creating the most beautiful and
classic designs found at sea today.
However, I might also be tempted
by the chic answer to sailing
perfected by the Italian shipyard,
Perini Navi.
Whatever the vessel, when we
build a yacht we are still
essentially building a lifestyle, so
we of course work in close
collaboration with the shipyards
from the outset to ensure that our
vision is fully aligned with theirs
and that we are able to create
something truly special. With
yachts it is not so much about
thinking outside the box for us,
but rather making a world within
the box. Layouts therefore form a
crucial starting point for any
yacht project we undertake as
they provide an essential

framework from which we are
able to build upon. By marrying
open plan spaces with private,
more seductive areas, we are able
to cater to the needs of the
modern yacht owner who not
only wants a place to work or
relax, but also requires stunning
spaces to entertain guests.
Personally I tend to avoid trends.
Home is key word for me. Given
that so many people are in transit
nowadays, can a yacht or hotel
ever take the place of a home?
And if so, how? For me, the cosy
sanctuary of the bedroom is
paramount and is still something
that, despite all the technology in
the world, we hold sacred.
However, the way we feel about
bathrooms is changing: you cant
have a throw-a way, cubby-hole
for a bathroom on todays
superyachts, instead it needs to be
a space of indulgence; a chic
haven to escape to before the big
party on deck. Through clever
design and space-planning, my
team are able to meet the

changing demands of todays
modern lifestyles in order to
provide the ultimate yachting
experience.
And once our layouts are fully
established, we then begin work
on what I call the layering
process. We dont have a typical
in-house style at Tara Bernerd &
Partner s, but we are perhaps
known for our ability to translate
indigenous flavours into our
designs. I like to establish a DNA
for each project, and each one is
unique by its inherent essence
and location. With a yacht you
have to approach things slightly
differently because it is of course
nomadic by its very nature.
However, people still need to
have a rooted feeling, a sense of
place, and so as a designer once
you have considered how the
overall layout of the space is
going to work, you can then bring
in the touches which provide that
all-important sense of character,
introducing texture and warmth.
TARA BERNERD
It might be books, it might be a

mixture of objects that you
collect or an alluring piece of
artwork, but it is those final
touches that give an interior that
crucial sense of character. So its
no quick-fix, but instead there is a
sincerity to this process and I
think our work - be it on yachts,
or in hotels or private residences is characterised by an integrity
and a truth that gives each
project a little more depth than if
we had simply come in at the end
of the process to dress the space.
Quality and workmanship are

also of the utmost importance.
This has never been more relevant
in a world in which people are
becoming more and more aware
of the level of luxury that yachts
demand. Indeed, attention to
detail is magnified on board. We
can have the concept, the vision,
we can draw out the plans and
create detailed design packages,
but skilful construction and artisan
expertise are vital in order to meet
the expectations of an increasingly
design-savvy audience.

That said, the main thing about

yacht design is to have fun!
Across all of the yachts we have
worked on, we have always
attempted to create spaces that
are luxurious and edgy, whilst still
retaining a certain war mth and
atmosphere. Finding this balance
and oxygenating it throughout
the entire design DNA can be a
challenge but I have always
loved challenges and I hope to
have many more to come.

Trend: History in Design

By Meghana Badiani
Founder, Eystan Interiors
Meghana Badiani KLC Dip. (Hons), is the owner of Elystan Interiors. Having worked in and around
London after completing her diploma, Meghana built on her experience of working on high-end
residential projects from central London apartments to country home retreats. Meghana believes
that interior design is about creating a balance between the function of a space and the aesthetics.
She enjoys creating timeless, elegant interiors that reflect the personalities of her clients. Every room
has a story to tell. Elystan Interiors offers a personal and relaxed approach to designing your home.
The company offers a full design service centred around the client, from spatial planning, installing
detailed and quality joinery, lighting design through to choosing beautiful unique accessories to style
a finished scheme. Here Meghana discusses mixing bygone eras with contemporary style.
ow does one pair family

heirlooms with
contemporary items? As
an interior designer, I would have
to say instinct definitely has a part
to play. Interior design is itself a
creative art form, there are no
rules in design, and so we use our
instinct to combine styles.
Personally, I look to interiors of
people like that of the late Yves
Saint Laur ent, or emerging
designers such as Jean-Louis
Denoit, and I'm inspired by their
use of an incredible mix of
periods and styles. They use scale
and aesthetics in just the right
proportions to produce elegant,
glamorous and exciting interior s.
One thing I have noticed is that
clients want to break from the
norm and feature eminently chic
antique interior s in amongst their

HISTORY IN DESIGN

contemporary homes. By using
pieces that look like they were
passed down through
generations, there is an air of old
money and tradition.
Whether its an apartment in
Knightsbridge or a countr y
home, its so much more
interesting to mix styles and inject
personality into a scheme. I
always keep in mind that the
home must look like it belongs to
my client, rather than creating a
generic show home look.
It was interesting to see how
Bonhams London recently
launched a new monthly auction
series, the Home and Interiors
Sale, which curates contemporary
design and period pieces as well
as art. T hey want to show buyers
how combining period and
contemporary styles and art can
work in interiors. Its nothing
new, rather it goes to show a
popular trend in high-end design.
There are of course true

collectors who like to blend the
old with the new, and not just for
visual interest. They appreciate
quality craftsmanship, where
materials and techniques that
were once used just aren't seen as
often in new furniture.
Interior design, like fashion, goes
through trends that see references
to eras gone by. Mid-centur y
modern is one of these trends
that has seen a resurgence in the
last few years.
Our clients often ask us to source
unusual, elegant pieces of
furniture to make a statement.
Mid-centur y pieces are frequently
the style of design they are most
drawn to. What is it that makes
mid-centur y design so popular
and how has it become such a
strong narrative within
contemporary interiors?
Mid-Centur y Modern design is
synonymous with the theory that
form follows function. Typically,

this style of furniture plays with a
mix of organic shapes, clean lines
and minimal embellishments.
When you look closely at midcentury modern furniture, you
can clearly see beautiful
sculptural shapes, a clean, paredback feel and they're often made
from materials like timber and
steel, giving it that honest backto-basics look.
Many factors have added to its
popularity over the years,
including the rise of sites like
1stdibs or the more accessible
West Elm, as well as the accurate,
curated set designs of TV
programmes like Mad Men. I feel
we have been taken on a nostalgic
journey and become familiar with
these pieces, which we want to
recreate in our own homes.
I have some top tips on how you
can mix bygone eras and
contemporary styles:
MEGHANA BADIANI
START WITH A NEW-BUILD
There are so many stereotypes
around how new-builds have no
character or soul. But actually,
what could be more exciting than
creating your own footprint? You
can create the right space (with a
talented architect!), which has the
right amount of light, good
proportions and introduce
interesting old furniture and
modern art to design themes that
suit your lifestyle.
PROPORTION
Look at the shape and the size of
the furniture you put into a room.
How does that particular piece of
furniture relate to other elements
into the room, from light fixtures
to accessories?
An oversized antique in a small
space can look overpowering;

likewise, a delicate piece in an
overcrowded large room will just
be swallowed up. Use your
instinct to guide you.
BE ORIGINAL
Take some inspiration, be that
from trade shows or looking at
other designers and put your own
twist on it. Make it your own!
I like to use unexpected colour
combinations or clash patter ns.
My Indian heritage is a great
source of inspiration on how to
use colour, texture and patter n in
unusual and unexpected ways.
Contrast definitely makes things
interesting.
As a designer, its your aim to
create serene and beautiful
schemes, so the decor and design

should reflect a space where you

can relax and be comfortable.
Eclectic interior s should be about
creating har mony amongst chaos.
At my practice, we offer a full
design service, centred entirely on
our clients. This includes spatial
planning, installing quality
joinery, lighting design and
choosing beautiful, unique
accessories to style a finished
scheme. I love creating timeless
and elegant interior s, which
reflect my clients personalities.
And I passionately believe
interior design is about creating a
balance between the function of
a space and the aesthetics. After
all, every room tells its own story.

45 countries including top design brands and unknown talent. Here, Aneeqa shares their findings,
including some interesting trends insights for 2017.
t has been a busy 12 months

at eporta and we are
witnessing a seismic shift in
the way the interiors industry
operates. Similar to the changes
already made in the fashion
industry, eporta is seeing greater
industry transparency as designers
become more tech-enabled and
are able to source from anywhere.
When researching buying data
and trends across the eporta
platform over the past year, some
key themes were apparent, many
of which link together, relating to
the way we live now.
These are particularly interesting
because our data is taken from
trade buyers only, meaning its
from the trendsetters and
tastemakers themselves. The fact
that eporta works with such a
huge range of suppliers means
Above: According to the report, Movisi is one of the most popular

brands on the eporta site with its flexible, design savvy and
practical modular and space saving furniture
FORECAST
that they can find any style and
budget on the site, so the trends
that emerge are indicative of
current tastes, without the
influence of any curation. As well
as buying data, eporta was also
the digital partner at several trade
shows including 100% Design,
Decorex, London Design Fair and
Clerkenwell Design Week.
Visitors were able to use eporta to
connect with suppliers and get all
the product information they
needed in an easier way, meaning
they were informed by offline
relationships as well.
Overall, eporta found interior
trade buyers are extremely
concerned with buying furniture
that is multifunctional and can
adapt to different spaces and uses.
The most searched for products
on the platform were bar stools,
extendable tables, nesting tables
and stackable chairs. Whilst this
may be linked to space and urban
living, WGSN credited it to the
continued rise in
Homtertainment w here our
interiors are expected to perform
multiple functions with staying in
the new going out, particularly
amongst Millennials who prefer
to host parties, concerts, simple
dinners and film projections in
their own homes with the
kitchen still remaining the
hub of the house.
This new defined conviviality
requires our homes to be more
multifunctional and able to adapt
to changing uses.
Aside from being a practicality
and requirement of the interior
trade, customisation was a wider
trend throughout the interiors
sector with WGSN commenting
that designed to order is the new
order. It also saw walls and floors
receiving the same degree of
personalisation as furniture and
lighting. More and more eporta
hears that interior designers are
rejecting any sort of house style,

delivering truly unique designs
that represent their clients
personality is the priority.
Uniqueness in walls and floors
was a theme that carried over,
with furniture and interiors
increasingly replacing traditional
art in the interior. A 43 per cent
rise in searches for statement rugs
was noted on eporta over the last
quarter of the year and a
marked increase in upholstery
and wallpaper with elaborate
artistic repeats.
The most popular interiors
accessories over the year started
with vases and candles and then
moved to more abstract design
objects which took their aesthetic

from the natural world;
biomimicry and a kaleidoscopic
patterns were adorning
everything from sculpture
to cushions.
WGSN noted a trend for
confident contemporary design
being elevated to the levels of a
contemporary masterpiece.
Brands such as Blackpop, 17
Patterns and Common Room are
of note, marrying fine art with
the interior and bringing what
was once the background
to the foreground.
eporta also observed a strong
trend for everyday furniture that
ANEEQA KHAN
is more discrete and takes up less
visual space. In particular
furniture with a frame-like style
has accounted for our best selling
items over the last three months.
WGSN inter preted this as a trend
for people to want to frame their
lifestyles. Especially as as people
buy fewer clothes and possessions,
but better quality, it would seem
we want furniture that can display
our lifestyles in a curated way,
showcasing and framing favourite
objects using furniture that is both
discreet and adaptable. Some of
its most popular and rising stars in
this category include &New
Modern British Fur niture whose
pieces are discreet and elegant
with an angular beauty.

side tables by &New modern
British Fur niture.
The most searched for materials
on eporta during the year were
brass and marble (32 per cent
increase between July and
September), while cork and
concrete gained popularity (up 42
per cent) over the last months of
the year. Popular products in
these materials revealed that trade

buyers are seeking a look with
more texture, depth and patina.
WGSN noted that this is in line
with an emerging trend for a
softer industrial aesthetic, which
sits better in residential projects.
In particular, noting the use of
iridescent petrol finishes in retail
design. The increase of high end
products in concrete and cork was
particularly prevalent, with these
materials being used in
unexpected ways; as furniture,
dining trays and lampshades in
thinner and more tactile finishes
in warmer colour schemes.
In lighting, the most searched for
but wide ranging lighting style
was the chandelier in all its forms
from the traditional crystal to
Calderesque mobiles. The
unifying point between all was
that they were designed to create
a statement and be used as a
centerpiece. WGSN likened the
central ceiling light to jewellery
in a room.
Overall, Portugal was the most
popular origin for suppliers with
brands such as Duisstt,
Above: Brass coffee table and console oil and wax Novovastrian

Ideas by Mambo and Ginger
and Jagger receiving particular
attention. T he areas heritage
and tradition of making with a
particular emphasis on upholstery
make it a place to watch
during 2017.
Across all of these trends it seems
that the impact and importance of
interior design on its inhabitants is
becoming more recognised.
Individuals are calling for unique
interiors that represent them and
this means that designers have
more space to create truly
interesting and individual pieces.
Along with new manufacturing
techniques and a greater
enthusiasm, designers have a huge
amount of scope to create
beautiful and exciting pieces.
It is an exciting time for the
interior trade and eporta is
looking forward to continuing to
help this dynamic global industry
thrive in 2017.

Getting Started
Making that leap from budding designer to
fully-fledged professional requires
dedication and a commitment to the craft
and business of design, but if youre
serious about embarking on a career in
interior design, there are many ways in
which you can gain accredited qualification
and turn your passion into a way of life.
Jacqueline Duncan offers an insight into
life at Inchbald School of Design, Polly
Williams offers support to designers and
Dan Tambling discusses the world of CAD.
JACQUELINE DUNCAN
Getting Started: Education

By Jacqueline Duncan
Founder, Inchbald School of Design
The Inchbald School of Design, based in London, is an independent school of interior design, interior
decoration and garden design, offering online and in-house courses ranging from Master of Arts
programmes to short introductory courses. Inchbald provides a broad based programme for designers
wishing to specialise in high-end residential and commercial work. With its global reputation for
excellence and decades of experience, studying with Inchbald enables students to hone their talent
and bring out their individual attitude to design, setting them firmly on the path to success. The school
has a long-established reputation for serious, practical training that is designed to prepare graduates
to enter the design professions and counts among its alumni some of the most respected garden and
interior designers in the world. Jacqueline Duncan founded the Inchbald School of Interior Design in
1960, extending this to a Faculty in Garden Design in 1972. In 2013 Jacqueline was awarded the
Order of the British Empire for services to Design. Here, Jacqueline discusses education from
Inchbalds perspective.
he foundation of a
pioneering centre of
design education such as
Inchbald, has involved much
determined enthusiasm and
perhaps a benign ignorance in
terms of the pitfalls that occur
over the years in any endeavor.
Over some sixty years of
involvement in this absorbing
subject, I have learned a great
deal about the requirements of
design education and the practice
of the profession. Thus the basics
of the Inchbald philosophy have
been refined over time and can
be summarised under these six
main headings, which are the
stated aims of the college.
It is the Inchbald responsibility:
To provide a professional
education for those who wish to
Above: Images courtesy of Inchbald School of Design
EDUCATION
work in high-end interior design
or garden design.
To teach the skills of ongoing
learning so that students continue
to extend their knowledge both
culturally and technically after
the Inchbald experience.
To inform students of the
designer/client r elationship and
to identify the psychology of
empathy in such a relationship
To expose students to the
experience and perspectives of
senior designers.
To encourage work experience so
that students may learn the
realities of studio work and
methodology.
Finally, to develop the individual
skills of each student with
emphasis on the fact that
style/fashion is secondar y to
talent and inspiration.
The work of the Inchbald alumni
is evidence of an extensive
variety of talents and skills.
There is no uniformity in their
achievements, only the shared
experience of a structured
education, together with a
considered introduction to the
profession and its major
practitioner s. Henrietta Spencer
Churchill is the doyenne of the
English style, Tatiana Tarfur an
innovative artist designer whose
work has a myriad of facets and
Kelly Hoppen is a master of
sophisticated modernity. They
are all very successful and very
different; but together with many
hundreds of Inchbald alumni,
these are people who have built
on a sound educational basis to
develop their own inimitable
style. The achievements of the
Inchbald alumni are
internationally renowned.
Principal Alan Hughes takes
particular inter est in the
designer/client r elationship; "It
is vital to demonstrate to the
student how they may develop
Above: Images courtesy of Inchbald School of Design

their own ideas whilst taking note
of the client's background,
experience and taste." Contrar y to
much opinion in the art world,
there is no-one who lacks taste,
however that taste may be judged.
Thus Principal Alan Hughes takes
the view that "once identified,
personal taste or choice can be
engaged and developed further, so
that the space reflects the client's
attitudes; it is the designer who
articulates those attitudes in order
to coax experience and opinion
into a robust and coherent result."
This fundamental lesson
encourages the students, not only
to accord their clients the
privilege of their own views, but
serves to expand the young
designer's thought process and
perspective.
I have always taken the view that
we can learn and benefit from
the brilliance of past designers
who have laid down principles of
style development.
The history of design is the very
grammar of the profession. Is the
Parthenon not significant in the
development of western
architecture? Is Morris not still
regarded as a master of patter n
and weave and do we not still use
his designs to this day? These
forerunners of today's designers
are more than worthy, indeed are

vital, to the study of design, which
involves not only styles through the
centuries but also the technological
developments that accompany all
innovation - and innovation is the
very essence of design.
Technological advances in recent
years have been startling in its
celerity with which so much has
been achieved, but these
advances are not limited to the
last two or three generations.
What we should remember, as
professionals and new students
looking to carve their careers in
design, are the incredible and
unsung engineers in 3,100 BC,
who masterminded the
movement of the stones of the
blue mountains of Wales to
Dorset; the brilliant Japanese
mind that devised the system of
stone cutting, which built castles
with perfect joins. The gravity of
technological advancements from
history should not be forgotten as
we strive to achieve more in our
contemporary lives.
No matter how talented, how
experienced, how successful, we
have a great deal to learn on a
daily basis and learning is surely
the greatest joy, particularly in
the field of interior design.

DAN TAMBLING
Getting Started: The Art of CAD

By Dan Tambling
Founder, Tambling Consultants
Daniel Tambling is a unique blend of an architectural consultant, interior designer, project manager
and CAD technician combined. Daniel works with interior designers to navigate them through the
practical aspects of being an interior designer. Here, Daniel discusses the exciting rise of Computer
Aided Design (CAD) in the interior design industry, and how it can hugely benefit your design business.
omputer Aided Design

(CAD) has been described
as the most important
development in the history of
construction. T his sounds like a
bold statement, though we
believe its true. It allows
designers to be much more
confident and push the
boundaries of their designs and
reduces the number of errors and
unforeseen hiccups on site.
CAD allows designers to get a
much better understanding of
their designs and proposals at the
early stages, through the
flexibility of multiple perspectives
within the computer. This
dramatically improves design
development, which is impossible
through drawings done by hand
or cardboard models alone.
Few people realise that CAD has
been around for a long time. It
first arrived over 50 years ago,
though it was nothing like the
slick interface we see today. CAD
was created as a workhorse, with

the sole purpose to help architects
and engineers understand the
structure of buildings.
Today tells a very different story.
We have seen an explosion of
CAD packages supporting every
area of design. Its not just for
architects and engineers, its used
in every inch of the design world,
from kitchens and bathrooms to
joinery and furniture, lighting
and accessories and these are
just within the interior design
sector. Each area of design now
has its own specific CAD
packages tailored for its needs.
We incorporate these CAD
packages into our mentoring and
supporting services. We walk our
clients through important stages
of interior design projects. We
focus a lot on helping designers to
understand the importance of
accuracy, and working with the
exact dimensions of the chosen
joinery, chair and even tap. This
might seem like overkill; surely a

generic chair or tap will do for
now and well deal with that
later? Though this could come
back and bite you on site if an
error occurs. CAD gives accuracy
and precision from the very start
and is an excellent tool to
minimise the number of on-site
problems.
Its important to point out tha t
whilst CAD might feel like the
saviour of the designer world, it
must be seen as an additional
string to the bow, instead of the
only string. We encourage new
designers not to solely rely on
CAD; to continue to hand sketch
and draw during office and site
meetings as well as measure and
re-measure on site.
Naturally, starting anything new
can feel quite intimidating.
Anyone new to design might
panic about knowing which CAD
package is right for them, or how
to even install such a package
THE ART OF CAD

onto their home computer or
laptop. Though CAD packages
are now very accessible, anyone
can purchase and download them
in a matter of minutes. There are
even CAD apps, which allow
designers to work from their
mobile phones.
People often ask Can I teach
myself CAD, is it workable in
that way? The short answer is
yes. CAD is entirely workable for
those who wish to go down the
self-taught r oute.
A great starting point is the stepby-ste p guide, which is located in
the Help section within most
CAD packages. Though
sometimes it's helpful to have
your hand held at the beginning,
and attend one of our one-to-one
tutoring packages to get the ball
rolling. This will give you the
confidence to explore and
discover CAD on your own, and
reduce those bad habits creeping
in. We firmly believe in creating a
solid foundation to build off.
Whenever we meet a new eager
client, they feel they must be able
to do everything at once and hit
the ground running. They feel
frustrated, and even suffocated, in
their desperation to be as good as
the person who has used CAD for
15 years (and makes it look easy).
This is why we always remind
everyone to 'keep things simple'.
To all the budding new designers
out there, we say ignore all the
fancy buttons and tool bars
littering the screen, just focus on
the one simple task in hand.
Another question I am always
asked is How can I afford these
packages, aren't they super
expensive? Surprisingly, the
answer is no. In fact, some are
free. Whilst there are expensive
packages, this is due to their
complexity, though these tend to
be aimed at specific areas of
CAD, such as 3D modelling, or
photo realistic rendering.
Above: Dan Tambling, Founder, Tambling Consultants

A majority of interior designers
work in 2D, creating 2D plans,
sections and elevations. These 2D
packages are much more
affordable and can be purchased
on a monthly or annual
subscription, instead of having to
buy the package up front. At the
speed the computer world is
evolving, monthly or annual
subscriptions are the best way to
ensure you have the latest
software without the excess
baggage of having to buy it.
Personally, I feel that as we look
forward to the next five years, this

way of borrowing software
through subscriptions will
become the norm. The exciting
world of 3D will become even
more 3D, with us designing in 3D
space instead of on 2D screens.
Perhaps this is getting a little
ahead of ourselves, though the
bottom line is that CAD is here to
stay and we couldnt be happier.
CAD has had such a positive
effect on the design industry, and
will continue to support and
evolve the way designers design.

Getting Started: Support

By Polly Williams
Founder, Camberyard
Camberyard is an award-winning advisory firm founded by Polly Williams, specialising in bespoke

marketing, business and social media solutions and mentoring for interior designers, galleries,
photographers, garden designers, furniture and lighting companies, fabric and flooring providers and
bathroom and kitchen specialists in the interiors sector. Polly works with her clients to develop their
business strategy, increase revenue and gain media exposure. With over 12 years experience
advising a leading interior design studio in London, Polly knows how to launch a brand and make it a
success. Here Polly discusses how to pursue your dream career in interior design.
o youre passionate about

interior design, the next
question is, how do you
become a professional interior
designer?
At Camberyard, we often work
with clients who would like to
become interior designers.
Perhaps they have recently
graduated, perhaps they are
looking for a complete career lifechange, or perhaps they wish to
turn a lifelong love of interior
design into their dream job. But
whatever their path into the
profession, our advice is always
the same. If you are passionate
about becoming an interior
designer, take the time to work
out what kind of designer you
want to be, your aspirations, and
how to achieve this before
embarking on your career

journey. This can be one of the
most helpful steps of all.
Many of our clients love the idea
of becoming an interior designer,
and I highly recommend
researching, and then researching
some more, the areas you want to
specialise in, to be certain this is
the route you want to take.
Typically, your days will be
extremely busy, varied and
exciting. Youll need to be highly
motivated and organised;
developing stunning spaces for
your clients doesnt just happen
overnight. Youll put in many
hours of creative thinking and
planning, liaising with clients on
every level to ensure their design
needs are met. You may find you
are responsible for sourcing
everything, from fixtures and
fittings to architects, builders, soft
furnishings and much more.
Creativity is key, as are excellent
communication skills and minute
attention to detail.
However, it is important to
recognise that the role of a
designer is not just about
creativity, but also about the
practicalities of running a
business. Do you understand
invoicing; can you pitch to clients
and negotiate fees successfully?
Just as importantly, does your
portfolio stand out in a crowded
market of other interior design
students? At Camberyard, we
strongly believe in a 360-deg ree
framework, which focuses on
building these key business skills
into your Career Transition
Path action plan. T his is vital;
firm foundations are necessary to
grow and be successful in your
chosen career.
First steps
Developing which path to take is
all about discovering the answers
to these key questions:
Who do I want to be as a working

interior designer? What are my
motivations and aspirations,
strengths and weaknesses? How
am I going to become the kind of
interior designer that I dreamed I
could be either working in a
design studio or one day opening
my own practice?
It is essential to contemplate these
questions, as they will directly
influence the choices you make.
Additionally, consider what is
your biggest motivation: career,
money, industry recognition,
continually educating yourself ?
What other skills do you need to
land your dream job? Are you
going to work full or part time?
Our mentoring of designers
through this phase is key to their
progression. Often, our clients
are driven by the desire to make a
change, without fully realising the
options available to them. By
really taking the time to work out
POLLY WILLIAMS
the key ingredients of their career
action plan, we show them how
essential it is to lay the
foundations for their new career.
Study
There are multiple routes into the
interior design industry such as
interior design degrees over three
years, or an intensive year-long
diploma, which can be
undertaken at schools like the
KL C School of Design in
London. There are also a
number of shorter courses and
open learning courses. They are
available through these design
schools, to help you start off with
smaller projects to build your
portfolio. Ideally though, you
would need to pair these with
specialist courses, e.g. technical
drawing to help you with
specification on aspects such as
journey or bathrooms.
Design style
For creative professionals who
wish to work in the interior
design sector, you need to
establish some strong foundations
in your new career choice. Maybe
you come from a business
background and need to start
thinking creatively or maybe you
are creative and dont know
which skills to develop. Perhaps
you have had a career break and
now wish to break into the world
of interior design. Whichever
category you fall into, you now
need to put a career action plan
in place.
How can I further my career
as an interior designer?
Remember that strong
foundations are built on the
power of networking. Familiarise
yourself with suppliers and
brands. Visit trade shows for

inspiration. Join organisations

such as The British Institute of
Interior Design (BIID), which is
highly regarded in the UK and
worldwide.
Follow your favourite designers,
architects and brands on social
media and interact with them. Be
brave and ask the designers you
admire to tell you how they did it
there is nothing so helpful as
hearing advice from someone you
respect. When it comes to
becoming a successful interior
designer, ensure you know exactly
what kind of interior designer
you want to be. Then you will be
ready to begin your career
journey, one contemplated and
planned step at a time.

Art of Pattern
Kate Cledwyn creates art for commercial and residential projects with work capturing
everything from the intricacies of a crashing wave to the dynamics of an urban skyline
Kates work exposes the details in

nature and man-made creations
to reveal surprising patterns and
geometry. Using her camera to
focus in, Kate captures new
shapes and colours to create
pictures, rugs, wallpapers,
fabrics and modern acrylic
light block sculptures.
The first products to come from
Kates work were the wall art.
Mounted on to acrylic to create a
floating effect is especially
effective on the water and nature
collections. Other themes including
the commanding architectural
collections are given added
strength when printed directly
on to lightweight aluminium. The
reflective quality of the material
creates a luminous metallic lustre
and dramatic effect.

Entering the interiors market,
Kate began to apply her work on
to fabrics, wallpapers, rugs and
most recently glass. Fabrics come
in a range of qualities suitable for
upholstery, cushions and curtains.
Wallpapers create a strong
statement while glass can be used
as splash backs or office divides.
Rugs are handmade using wool
and bamboo, the natural fibres
enhance designs with depth in
both texture and colour.
Kate Cledwyns work creates a
connection to the heritage,
personality and atmosphere of a
space. The influence of the local
landscape and history is key to
all projects giving a space
purpose and narrative to connect
people to a place.
By working closely with commercial

projects or private individuals,
Kate offers ideas to reflect brand
identity for hotels, spas, restaurants
and office spaces as well as
capturing personal identity for
residential projects.

carvings of flowers found in a churchyard
in Upham, Hampshire. It represented a
picture of time with clinging mosses and
lichens on aged natural stone.

Life Made Simple

Dao Wood create dynamic and playful products that encapsulate a simple
and humorous approach to design without sacrificing the utility of the object
Dao Wood specialise in the

use of natural materials, shapes,
coatings and traditional wedges.
The principle of variability that
constitutes the essence of nature
is applied to all their work.
Dao Wood's products are simple,
with a pinch of humour and
flexibility. This is dynamic
and useful furniture.
The Octopus Secreteur sideboard
perfectly captures the Dao Wood
ethos. Secreteur is French for
secretary which serves to to
secrete all the important little
things, objects, keys, accounts,
notes, documents and telephones.
It is a vital storage place for all
small things that have great

personal value. It can be a
bar for drinks as well.
Octopus Secreteur playfully
imitates one of the most
interesting creatures in nature.
Its legs are keeping up order
and invite healthy doses of
humour into our everyday lives.
Another playful product from
the Dao Wood range is the
Tea Table Crab.
Drinking tea is a ritual and a
whole culture has developed
around it. A cup of tea can be a
meditative habit, but it can also
be a passionate conversation
starter. Ever since the trend of
drinking tea was accepted by the
middle class in Europe around

1750, tea tables have been
the central figure of this
charming ritual. The tea table
can be disassembled.

Gillian Weir
Each throw, blanket, bedcover and cushion is soft and luxurious, custom made in your
own unique selection of colour, weave, weight and finish for the ultimate indulgence
A deep background knowledge

supplying accessories to the super
yacht Industry has lead Gillian Weir
to specialise in one of the finest fibres
in the world, cashmere. Each bespoke
throw, blanket, bedcover and
cushion from them is beautifully
soft and luxurious.
Custom made to your unique design
scheme or your clients taste and
requirements, in pure cashmere or
blended with silky soft bamboo, these
are items to be treasured. Hand dyed,
woven and finished in a clients own
unique colour, size, weight and finish.
Every step of the process is
customisable, allowing a client to
create their perfect throw, blanket,
bedcover or cushion for each and
every one of their diverse and
individual interior design projects.
As every piece is custom made, you
don't need to fit to their range or colour
Palette of 45.If the perfect shade isnt
available then colour matching to a
fabrics swatch, Pantone or RAL colour
is no problem at all. No colour is ever

discontinued and with a lead time of
just six to eight weeks they are able to
respond to trends quickly.
Most of their looms are just under
three metres wide and so they can
make blankets to fit perfectly on the
biggest of beds. In this very bespoke
world of luxury, Gillian Weir
understands that nothing is standard
and being able to create a throw that
drapes perfectly over the edge of any
sized beds is always possible.
There are three weights to choose
from, a 2ply lightweight for a relaxed
throw, a 4ply mid weight ideal for
snuggling under and up to a 6ply
winter weight for the most
sumptuous blankets to be used
during winter nights.
There are 12 weaves to choose from,
so clients can stay subtle and smart
with a classic herringbone or add a
little more texture with a chunky waffle
or criss-cross jacquard. With a design
team in house ready to help and
advise every step of the way, samples
can be sent out ready for

meetings that best represent
your colour scheme.
The finishing touches really enhance
the piece and enables a completely
customised finish. For a relaxed, rustic
finish choose from one of Gillian Weir's
eight tassel designs; for a smart, sleek
lux look go for a silk border or pick a
cashmere binding for a more natural,
contemporary style.
Visit the gallery section on their
website for images to inspire. With all
of the options Gillian Weir rarely make
the same throw twice, offering a very
unique answer and a bit of luxury to
the most exclusive interiors.

KOURASANIT
As a pioneering, dynamic company, KOURASANIT is classed as a trendsetter and
market driver in the field of decorative construction materials and hydraulic mortars
Founded in 1978, the company

initially started out producing and
blending mortars used to maintain
and restore archaeological and
historical monuments. Both the
companys name and its expertise
are based on traditional mortar
known as Roman mortar or
kourasaniwhich has been
famous since antiquity.
Traditional Roman mortars are
well known for their hydraulic,
engineering and thermal insulation
properties. They were therefore
widely used in numerous
construction projects during the
Roman and Byzantine periods,
such as bridges, aqueducts,
Byzantine churches, the Colosseum,
the Pantheon, Hagia Sophia and
other monuments of great
historical importance.
It was this in-depth study of ancient
traditional construction methods
which brought to light the advantages
of using these original materials and
that led KOURASANIT to think in such

a different way. Today it is able to
create and market a wide modern
range of great looking completely
environmentally-friendly materials.
What makes KOURASANIT stand
out is that the manufacture of its
products is essentially based
on processing natural aggregates
combined with pozzolana (lava)
and hydrated lime. This is the
reason why KOURASANIT has
become established as a leading
specialist in the production ofhighly
durable mortars. Respecting both
man and the environment,
KOURASANIT guides the material to
express their natural beauty.
Fluidity, texture, light and shadows
are utilised to create ultra modern
surfaces that look and feel natural.
The materials interact with the
environment and become alive in
the hands of the applier. The result
is the creation of contemporary
spaces that breath with strong
character and natural ease.

Reloaded Design
Reloaded Design, by Eliana Trentalancia, creates furniture as distinctive unique
pieces, each with a story to tell connected with subtle touches of eccentricity
Reloaded Design is a high-end

furniture manufacturer for those who
are not afraid to be bold. The brand
has become, in just two years, a
must have for upscale design and
already includes among its followers
movie and rock stars who decided to
have one of the unique pieces of
interior art for their home decoration.
Each piece by Reloaded Design
is the outcome of patient work to
revive traditional craftsmanship.
With exquisite workmanship,
Eliana Trentalancia reinterprets
antique pieces, giving them an
unconventional new life.
Each piece comes from a different
era and shows a variety of Italian
workmanship techniques. Mirrors,
iron, glass beads, perforated metal,
semiprecious stones, bijoux, esoteric
symbols, coral, mother of pearl, jade,
skulls and zodiac signs are all used to
give each piece an individual mood.
Every item is inspired by different
cultures and epochs, from Gothic to

French Baroque. Opposing materials
are put together for fun and to
challenge the conventions of
traditional design.Each piece has a
different identity, perfect for those
who love the contrast between
simplicity and opulence.
Reloaded Design is inspired by
fashion, theatre, art, jewellery and
mythology. Tribal and esoteric
references give the work an even
more magical and exclusive aura.
Romanticism, minimalism, baroque
and opulence converge, creating a
dreamlike interplay of allusions
between past and future.
Beside unique pieces, Reloaded
Design developed limited edition
collections of small pieces such as the
Mini-Table collection, created to meet
the diverse needs of contemporary
living. Versatile. Practical. Eccentric.
Unique. Little jewels, used alone, or
paired with other models, of differing
heights, measurements and shapes,
to create designer compositions

that match the individual style and
creativity. A furnishing element that
makes each space unique and
original, to use as an occasional table,
coffee table or bedside table. Easy to
disassemble, thanks to a twist-off
base, the mini tables rapidly
transform into an elegant and handy
multi-purpose tray. The aim of this
work is to bring emotion to each
recovered piece of furniture, giving
new energy to a creation that is poised
between art and craftsmanship.

Tree Couture
At the juncture where furniture meets art, Tree Couture is producing some
of the most exciting work to emerge from British workshops in many years
Founder and designer-maker

Troo Heath-Crew and her team of
exceptional cabinetmakers work out
of a former Victorian dairy in London
that they have lovingly rescued and
restored to create a beautiful vibrant
hub for their workshop and atelier.
Combining time-honoured
craftsmanship with contemporary
design and engineering, they create
remarkable pieces of furniture, from
limited edition collections to one-off
special commissions.
The collections include modern takes
on classic pieces which may have
fallen out of use, such as the cheval
mirror, the gentlemens valet and the
jewellery armoire. Each design is

made in a strictly limited edition,
often of no more than 25, individually
numbered and inlaid with a gold
and nickel makers mark, or made
to order with bespoke specifications.
Celebrating the long tradition of British
furniture making, Tree Couture marries
the meticulous detailing and solidity
of fine antiques with a strong
contemporary edge. Their works are
collectors pieces, yet always as
functional as they are beautiful,
designed to fit effortlessly into 21st
century lifestyles and eclectic interiors.
Like couturiers working within the
realm of haute couture, Tree Couture
are defined by their use of supremely
luxurious materials and dedicated
craftsmanship, with sustainability
always at the very heart: each
piece is designed for life and built
to last many generations.
Tree Couture is unusual in its
uncompromising use of solid, handselected premium-grade hardwoods,
and its avoidance of veneers and MDF.
In line with their commitment to
sustainability and ethical provenance,

all the hardwoods used are sourced
from well-managed, sustainable
forests. They have also set up a private
initiative with British conservationists
whereby for every piece of Tree
Couture furniture created, a native
sapling is planted and nurtured in a
beautiful arboretum in Herefordshire.

Turri
Turri's mission is to bring the art of luxury lifestyle into every room, those that are
looking for luxury will always find in Turri a deep understanding of their aspirations
Turri was founded in 1925 in the tiny

artisanal workshop of Pietro Turri in
Carugo, in the heart of Brianza.
Over the years, the company followed
and responded to the demands of the
markets to establish itself as a leading
name, first in Italy and Europe, then
in countries such as Russia, India,
UAE and China. In 2013, Turri
invested in the opening of a new
production plant in Briosco, enabling it
to offer a better service to its clients
and to improve delivery times.
Turris products are characterised by
a luxurious classical-contemporary
line which is a summary of three
simple, basic concepts: originality,
authenticity, and uniqueness.
Turri furniture is made with prestigious
materials and high quality artisanal
finishes, which are the result of
continuous research and represent a
harmony between art and technology.
The decorations found on the products
celebrate deep emotions and primitive
feelings, through the combination of
colours used. These are unique pieces
which are able to incite the warmth of
luxury and form timeless moments.

Two indispensable words come to
mind when one talks about Turris
production: manual skill. Each piece
is created and assembled with great
care and exquisite artisanal skill. This
is perhaps the most important factor
contributing to the end result.
Lacquer, brass, crystal, and precious
wood are assembled, decorated, and
finished with techniques dating back
to the beginning of the 19th century.
Solid poplar wood constitutes the
frame of the upholstered furniture,
which is then covered with
sophisticated materials featuring
refined patterns that have been
created by famous weavers. Every
single piece is conceived to achieve
the maximum results in
terms of form, quality, and prestige.
The company dedicates its creative
and productive resources to the
contract business. Its Projects
Division has completed major
contract projects all over the world,
creating furnishings and interiors for
accommodations, workplaces, public
offices, and private yachts.

Through the years, the company
has introduced their products to

evolutionary leap forward taken by
Effegibi surrounding heat technology
and wellbeing. BodyLove has a

like grs porcelain stimulate the
perception of the spa space as an
environment that blends
perfectly with its surroundings.
Interiors of the sauna + Hammam
are divided into two spaces that can
have either a front or side entrance.
The sauna space is furnished with
raised wooden benches. A base

made of wood clad in grs porcelain
supports the heater, finished in
glazed ceramic and the ceiling

plus a copper-finish stainless steel
bowl revisiting the traditional ritual
of dousing yourself with cool water.
A ceiling-mounted shower head
delivers a regenerating flow of water
from above and a niche adorning the
transparent wall creates a

DOM Edizioni
Domenico Mula, Founder, DOM Edizioni considers the evolving soul of
furniture and the never ending research between materials and finishes
A very specific stylistic trait,

beyond the realm of fashion and
temporary trends, comes the DOM
Home Philosophy: purity of lines,
preciousness of details and a
never-ending research between
materials and finishes.
The creative enthusiasm for interior
design in DOM Edizioni is
recognisable in every single element
of the collection and is combined with
the skills and knowledge of the
craftsmen the company works with.
The most important principle, which
comes directly from designer and art
director Domenico Mula, is to
appreciate the value of the materials
he works with. New materials are at
the core of new designs. To analyse
deeply the intrinsic possibilities of a
new material is the main challenge
for the creative talents at DOM
Edizioni. Domenico achieves his
design objectives through the
research of materials and constant
search for new inspirations,

discovering new exciting raw
materials, able to distinguish itself
from other finishes on the market.
The DOM Albin Wood is an example
of this. An amazing original essence,
Albin Wood is is becoming one of the
most important features of the
DOM Edizioni 2017 Collection.
Real Makassar Ebony is one of the
most emblematic elements of the
collection from DOM Edizioni,
accented by lacquered woods,
precious metals and fabrics.
DOM Edizioni is not only a unique
design philosophy, but also a real
concept. embodying the real Italian
lifestyle through an essential
unquestionable requisite, that the
collection is 100 per cent made in
Italy, from design concept to the
final realisation, by Italian hands,
according to the highest standard.
Absolute refinement is the new key
word for DOM Edizioni and the interior
design industry. Domenico comments,
Projects and homes of pure design,

with a modern and often aseptic
style, are boring; we are now
assisting in the revival of elegance
as a guiding principle, able to
distinguish and give spaces and
projects a unique and personal
authenticity. It is a understated
refined preciousness that
blossoms from daring but
equilibrated concepts.

categorisation, ranging from sleek

all this is the timeless singularity of
nature that is, wood. Undertaking
bespoke commissions of all sizes
from a single piece to large
commercial installations, they also

offer numbered, limited series and

production designs.
Drawing from the intrinsic natural
individualism of timber as a material
to work with, many pieces focus
around a live edge, utilising the
natural characteristics and aesthetic
offered by the specific piece of wood
they are crafted from. Simon's
designs represent a fusion of the
natural splendour of wood with the
timeless principles of simplistic
geometric form. Not afraid to
experiment, pieces often juxtapose
a wide range of expressive
materials, their offerings feature
resins, metals and glass alongside
the wood in ingenious synergistic
applications.
Each striking piece is conceived and
built to extol three key virtues,
originality, innovation and quality,
yet avoids the fussy and over
complicated. Subtle design features
are employed such as texturing or

charring, bringing tactility to their
beauty. The exquisite finish of
Halcyons work has to be seen and
touched to be fully appreciated.
Halcyons furniture and artworks can
be seen in a few selected dealers
and galleries around the country.
A showroom will open soon, but they
welcome the opportunity to work
closely with private and corporate
clients, in order to deliver any brief.
So, if you seek inspiration or would
like them to bring your own ideas to
life, you will find that no detail is
impossible to realise.
