Sketch

I'm heading to London for 5 days in September and, as usual, all I can think about is all the great looking restaurants that have opened since I was last there. 

The Gallery at Sketch, a collaboration between restaurateur Mourad Mazouzand and celebrated chef Pierre Gagnaire, with interiors by India Mahdavi and art by Scottish artist David Shrigley...that's a combination that's hard to resist. I am loving those zig-zag floors...and actually the combination of pink and brass is not too shabby either. Whould've thought! This one is definitely on the list...

 

FBC

I am very excited to be able to share these images with you this morning...the new furniture collection from FBC London. The range is designed by FBC founder, interior designer Fiona Barratt-Campbell, and produced by craftsmen in the North of England. The range of finishes is really quite something (check out the hand applied chipped oak on the City Chest, and the mix of bronze, limestone and oak on the Isabella cabinet!) The range is quite extensive, here are just a few of my quick picks. You can head on over to their website for the rest of the collection and more information.

Byethorne Cabinet

Cheyne Bed

City Chest

Corbridge Chair

Hadrian Console

Isabella Cabinet

London Sofa

Teres Bench

Henri Fitzwilliam-Lay

I stumbled upon the work of Henri Fitwilliam-Lay yesterday in the latest House & Garden (UK)...a magazine I don't typically read. But I'm so glad I picked up a copy. Her spaces are so fresh and so new looking...these images are just the tip of the iceburg...you really need to check out her website for more. With natural talent like this, I can't wait to see more for her in the future!

Todhunter Earle

I have been a fan of London-based design team Todhunter Earle for many years now, but they had kind of slipped off my radar so to speak over the last few years. So when I saw this image below floating around pinterest over the last few weeks I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was one of their recent projects. I remember their work as being far more traditional in style, so this shift towards something that is more of a mix between the classic English interior, blended with some fabulous 20th C and modern pieces is ticking all the boxes for me. Enjoy!
