In With The New

Firstly, congratulations on your autumn collection – it is absolutely beautiful! Would you share with us the significance of this collection in light of the past year? Where did you draw inspiration from? How was it all brought to life? And how does it speak to a world grappling with the new normal?

My new collection reflects a modern fusion of architectural and organic silhouettes. Purity of form is central to the narrative. This is seen in the fluid curves of pieces such as the Verge Chair or the Ardent Bench, as well as the geometric lines in the Otto Side Table and the Rousseau Double Boom Arm Floor Lamp. These complementary forms allow for the inherent spirit of the materials, which range from bronze to marble to ebonised oak, to distinguish each design as singular and generous with personality.

I have experienced first-hand how well-designed interiors can change lives. Good design can make someone happier, more confident, comfortable and organised. It can elevate everyday life experiences. It impacts your life and stimulates everything you do. When a design is thoughtful and well-considered, you probably do not even notice it, because it supports a melding of form and function.

What are some of your favourite pieces from the collection, and why? Some were reimagined... Why did you decide to reinvigorate these particular pieces?

Natural materials and vintage pieces are infused into all of my projects. I love to ‘rescue’ and refabricate existing silhouettes and materials. I believe that there should be a sense of longevity and the luxurious, tactile and soulful sensibility of organic materials within every space, whether a residence or commercial setting.
