a little from founder antonia graham:

"I have fond memories of travelling to buy kelims and rugs in Istanbul in fur lined boots in the freezing, but hospitable carpet warehouses and during a very cold weekend in Beijing we went to the farmers market to discover a girl selling beautiful traditional Chinese lanterns. She was the daughter of a well known actor in the National Theatre and lantern making was the family’s way of supplementing his income! We placed a small order at first, but we have been ordering regularly since then. That is exactly why I love doing what we do, forging relationships on chance meetings and bringing beautiful things back for others to enjoy...

We like to think that our customers care about their surroundings as much as they care about their clothes and how they look. It’s a lifestyle. A contemporary mix of old and new, things brought home from travels abroad, memories of people dear, put together in an interesting way so that it works and provides a peaceful and inspiring background for today’s busy life."

sally nencini...

the exquisite design and upholstery work of sally nencini....

"Each of Sally's bespoke upholstered pieces is a unique response to the vintage chair and its character; the story of its use and its user. The fabric sourcing and craft-treatment give the chair a new life but also acknowledge its idiosyncratic past life. Sally will work to commission, sourcing furniture around a brief or responding to a family piece in need of reworking with the same research and consultation process. Sally's cushions, bags and toys sample pattern-motifs from vintage nursery toys and fabrics. The knitted pieces can be made to order, or purhased online at her Etsy shop.

Sally, from County Armagh, Northern Ireland, studied MA Fashion at the Royal College of Art and has designed for, amongst others, Levi's and M&S. Since bringing up a young family, she has retrained in upholstery. Her long-held interest in handworked craft, surface pattern and vintage"
