Considered Sustainable Design thinking
It has been a pleasure for our Studio to play a small part in the considered refurbishment of this 17th century mansion with the first rewilding design project by our friends Sebastian Cox


Handmade Glass made with a one of a kind mould
We have made more than 300 of these handmade glass lampshades for the guest rooms . They are made from recycled glass and blown into a mould made of paper, each one individually blown and made by hand here in our London studio.


It’s been great for us to create a large volume order that will be staying “in the neighbourhood”, just 30 minutes from our south London workshop door. All project development and design in collaboration with  A-nard Studio and Holder Mathias Architects.

>> Watch the Monocle Film  here to see how create these unique shapes.
