Bespoke feature wall

We have recently finished a large commission for a private client just off the Kings Road. They live in a beautiful house with wooden floors, and lots of clean hard surfaces such as glass and brushed concrete and when I met them at 100% Design this year they were looking for something to soften the look of the space and help reduce the echo's bouncing off the smooth surfaces.

Feature Wall

This project was a challenge, the wall we worked with had a door which opened outwards into the space, so it was vitally important to create a piece which looked like it was one piece when the door was closed but did not interfere with the function of the door.

When talking to the client they described how they would like the textiles to work like a painting would in the space or a large art piece. They have a fantastic living wall in their garden and this was influential in the design decisions. They clients also kindly sent me images they liked from paintings, to glass panels to rugs and we sat down with the sample books full of 100% wool and satins to go over colours.

For this space we ended up doing around 10-15 designs and we finally sent over this mood board to get  feedback from the client.

Below you can see the the stages we went through to get the exact design in the correct places on each panel so once it was installed the lines flowed from one panel to another. As I said it was a challenge but one we loved and feel very proud of!

Below you can see the wall transform from a white wall to the finished piece.

New Sample books

I have been working with Interior Designers since day one of the business and now we have a way to make their life and ours a little easier. Our new sample books are available for the satin wall flowers, wool wall flowers, fabric by the meter and wallpapers. These books have been designed and made for interior designers and shops to use with their clients. I've been using them with private commissions and they make life much easier!

Open Studio's at Cockpit Arts

One of the main reasons i joined Cockpit Arts was to be involved in their open studios, I've been a fan for years and always made the Christmas open my main place for buying unique and quirky Christmas presents.

This year is my first year involved and last week I was involved in the Holborn open. The weekend went better than expected and I ended up selling out of a number of items before the weekend ended! I was lucky enough the share the room with three fabulous designers, Clara Brean, Eleanor Lakelin and Mariko Sumioka.

This weekend I am showing in my own studio at the Deptford open and I have jeweller Stephanie Ray joining me for the weekend.

I have a couple of card packs and wallpapers which are only for sale at the Open and once they've gone they've gone. I've been really surprised how well the Robin card packs have gone really well. I only have 10 packs left with me, 4 packs in Lovely and British and 12 packs at Smiths Row Xmas exhibition.
